Last year, I was being swamped with spam texts. That’s all changed. Barely get them anymore. Except politicians. All the time, politicians. Block them, they spam from another number, every day.

@bryansmart Politician spam is so rampant that I get spam from politicians in states where I don't even live. And they all think my name is Ryan for some reason. Sometimes I want to find the Ryan who had this number before me and strangle him for signing up for all the damn campaign texts.

As much as newsrooms sniffed at bloggers and blogging, I love the wonderful irony that so many of them now depend on WordPress–<sniff> blogging software–as their CMSes. Karma. 6/

@aurooba Sending you internet hugs. It's counter-intuitive but sometimes a vacation, even in the middle of the world being on fire, is the best thing for you.

That sound you hear is orgs losing their EDR budget so that Jason in accounts can have AI write a PowerPoint for him once a month.

I had to explain to a 12yo that not long before she was born, you made a computer display by sucking all the air out of an enormous glass box and then painting one side of it with special paint that sometimes glowed and then applying 2000V to a little bit of hot wire so you ripped electrons out of it and using electromagnets to steer the electrons to hit the special paint so that it glowed, and she seemed increasingly suspicious that I was pulling her leg and at the end she just said “that seems.. ..very inefficient?” and now I feel like a walking exhibit at a mediaeval blacksmithing museum

For a first time and on barely a week’s notice, I think #AltTextCoverDay went very well. Thank you to everyone who participated.
What do folks think about making this a yearly thing? Say the third Monday in July?

Who called it the heat index instead of holy shit kill me now?

Wait, what?
“Israel Struggling to Recover Ancient Artifacts Trump Took to Mar-a-Lago”
“The former president up and stole antiquities that were lent to the White House for a Hanukkah celebration in 2019”
(My husband says they should look in the bathroom.)

At the dawn of computers, newsrooms thought their “content” is what made them valued, so they each needed special “systems” to “manage” it. They commodified content until it lost value; so did their CMSes. Here is word that Vox, which made a big deal of creating its own CMS–licensing it to other news organizations–is dropping it for WordPress. Newsrooms are not each so special after all.

Sometimes Elon stans call me out on Twitter when people post the “cars and rockets” post, demanding to know what stupid things Elon says about software.
Here’s a primo example.
In this exchange, Elon thinks Adam Mosseri is adding rate limits to Threads just like he added them to Twitter, and that he “copied” Elon.
Anyone who understands software knows Adam is talking about WRITE rate limits to curb spam posts. Elon implemented READ rate limits in an application that relies on ad impressions.
