Alright, this is priceless – this is why we say that the #Fediverse is magical!

So, @kraft who works at Automattic (creator of WordPress) pops in to check out #Calckey. We start a chat about how they have a “Share to Mastodon” button, but that doesn’t cover the richness of platforms in the Fediverse. Bam, less than 12 hours later, Automattic are officially discussing how they could implement a “Share to the Fediverse” button, connecting the rest of the platforms potentially to hundreds of millions of websites using WordPress.

Is that something, or what?

Anderson Cooper lecturing people has me seeing red. How dare he. #CNN shoved Trump in our faces and he’s trying to make it sound as if we’re being unappreciative???

Last I checked viewers dictate what is popular, not what the networks think we should be watching.

Forcing an insurrectionist into our living rooms was bad enough. Telling us we should like it is beyond the pale.

Confronting disgrace for his disgraceful decision to showcase Trump and his MAGA supporters in a townhall meeting, CNN president Christ Licht says Trump supporters have been “ignored” and need media exposure.

Tom Nicholls responds:

“How anyone—especially the head of a news network—can believe that this group of people has been ignored is astonishing.”

FedEx has a new RESTful API. Great! We’re migrating to it at work. Finally, we can throw out SOAP and XML, and use JSON. Great! FedEx didn’t release any client libraries for this, not even in popular languages like PHP or Java. Annoying, but okay. Request a response, and you get headers and JSON. Great! Exactly what you’d expect. But what’s this? If your request results in an error, you get… You get… GZIP? Why? FedEx, why are you compressing 200 bytes of error data? WHY????

ok, like, you can’t ask people to opt out of features which can cause disorientation and other epileptic symptoms. this is usability 101.

telling me there is some checkbox that you can check to make misskey turn off animations is missing the point.

the checkbox should be to *opt into that feature*.
