@paul the new MacStadium competitor at the Tapbots HQ
@trinsec i mean, southern US has the hottest weather and they’re more popular there. There might be a scientific correlation between hot weather and how we crave burritos when we feel hot. Maybe we should write a grant proposal… 🧐

"Their immense talent will no doubt be of great use elsewhere."
Yep.
Reading about Thread I’ve seen takes complaining about it not being available in the EU due to its “draconic laws”. Surprisingly, this comes from people that have normally been privacy advocates. I’m happy EU reps have taken privacy seriously, and I hope they don’t budge under Meta’s pressure.

The Reddit AMA as we know it is dead. "The decade-old team of moderators running Reddit AMAs (short for “Ask Me Anything”) are hanging up their boots and will no longer organize the popular Q&As. [They] think Reddit’s poor site management is beyond repair." https://qz.com/reddit-amas-r-iama-protest-api-changes-steve-huffman-1850600843
@hgvaz how didn’t I hear about this game before?! I immediately went to the App Store and grabbed it. Thanks, @grumpygamer for doing this today, I found some great gems!
@jakeonaut @grumpygamer for some reason I can’t explain your game screenshot reminds me of Wiz ’n’ Liz
@litgirl_inmo @grumpygamer beautiful pixel art! And yes to having to find another bunch of specks of dust around Thimbleweed!

Me: Mastodon is the best. People are friendly, there's no manipulative algorithm, and it's full of interesting content.
Journalist: Amazing, the headline of my article will be "Mastodon is social media's new hope".
Me: Also, there are no ads.
Journalist: Interesting. Let's change that headline to "Mastodon is a toxic cesspool that is already dead".

Es cierto que, para aquellas personas que dependen de tuiter para su trabajo, mastodon no es, en absoluto, un sustituto.
Pero la lección aquí creo que no debe ser que mastodon deba parecerse más a tuiter, sino que hay que replantearse el hecho de que tu modus vivendi dependa de una sola plataforma*
Esto es aplicable a todas las plataformas que dan trabajo a la gente.
@trinsec such a great game! I started with the board game but the digital adaptation is so good I didn’t get the cards to the table since forever. I play it less often now, but I played it nonstop for months.

Breaking: US Coast Guard detects “banging” noises from hermetically-sealed Twitter.
@petergam considering how big tech are steering away from openness and third party options… isn’t it a bit risky to build a project on one of these platforms, as it’s clear they can pull the plug to API and external access any time? Not criticizing, I honestly have no clue what support Google intends to keep for this.

Twitter You can limit me to showing and seeing ONE tweet a day- I still won’t pay - I can get my transphobic, homophobia, death threats, far right baloney and unionists hate speech elsewhere
@drdrang I never thought of that and it’s so useful for anyone dealing with csv! Thank you so much!

Today
* Reddit ends free API access.
* Twitter turns off anonymous reading.
* Youtube is talking about banning ad-blocking users.
The tech industry was living on cheep money and low interest rates, and now they're all afraid to let their precious content get used for AI training.
The walls are going up, the lawful corporate web is collapsing in on itself.
