@pluralistic here in the UK, operation of a mastodon instance will soon be a minefield, thanks to the ill-conceived, all encompassing "online harms" bill.

The duties imposed upon even the smallest operators are extremely onerous, and come with significant penalties. Crazy.

June 2022 --> February 2023. The kid has grown two inches. The trucks have grown even faster.

This is not fine.

@cstross @mekkaokereke @tellyworth here’s a 12yo beside a vehicle whose owner pays the same registration fee as I do for my small hatchback. It’s also exempt from emissions targets and is probably a tax deduction for its owner. It didn’t fit in the parking space.

We haven’t switched off the server yet.

It _could_ stop working at any time.

Maybe Feb 13th? 🤷‍♂️

First official info. There will be a $100USD/month tier

We still don’t know if that will meet our API needs, with 6000+ monthly active users.

A Historical Reference of React Criticism

https://www.zachleat.com/web/react-criticism/

There have been a number of criticisms levied at the React project over the years, some of them handled and some of them still wavering in the wind. In this post, I’ll summarize the ones that are most prominent in my memory as a way of maintaining a record (primarily for my own use but maybe you’ll find it useful too).

This evening I have mostly been trying to scare off the wheelbarrow @falken left in my garden

Techgrumps 3.0: Angry people still going on about Technology

A long time ago, I was part of a podcast called Techgrumps. It ran for 69 episodes and even started a spin off called lovegrumps.

Back in the saddle, in 2023 (8 years later), You can now subscribe to angry people talking about tech.

@MatthewToad42 @chris @nafnlaus Yes, but without USAF support they wouldn't have got funding AT ALL, and there'd have been no post-Apollo crewed spaceflight. It was a devil's bargain (largely thanks to Nixon).

The interesting thing about Falcon 9/Dragon is that SpaceX is in profit selling crew launches to NASA for roughly 1/30th the per-seat price of Shuttle, with a system that's about the same proportion reusable—but cost less than a single shuttle flight to develop, with fewer failure modes.
