ICYMI, the SysInternals Suite is now available through the Windows Store, which means less downloading of zips and $PATH munging in your day-to-day. Huzzah!

(obviously I still use firefox; the people leading the development of the alternative browser engines have the same brain worms even more so but ... oof)

this interview with the Mozilla CEO is really baffling to me

https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/14/23598344/mozilla-firefox-ceo-mitchell-baker-microsoft-edge-bing-google-apple-ai

first off she talks about how Mozilla isn't really anti-microsoft or anti-big-tech, which ... uh, what? and then not very long after that she's talking about how Mozilla has always been anti-tracking... how do you reconcile that? how out of touch do you have to be to think you can be anti-tracking without being anti-big-tech

later it gets worse:

> Q: Do you think that you have to build generative AI products into Firefox to take advantage of that disruptive moment?

> A: Well, at some level the answer is yes, because that’s the new technology.

everything she says on this topic is a tremendous nothingburger of meaninglessness; we have to invest in this because it's new, even if we have no idea what it's for or why it would be helpful

the silicon valley brainworms really show no mercy

Do not take advice about web development from people who cannot keep the HTML payload for a simple blog page (nevermind all the JS) under 1MB on the wire.

So someone DM'd me the "new, faster" rewrite of a frontend influencer's blog, and, friends, we need better influencers; people who can actually run and read a trace. Folks who understand HTTP and HTML. People who aren't going to sell you a new silver bullet because they know that silver bullets don't exist.

In other words, engineers.

Be an engineer. Follow engineers. Engineer for users.

What's your favorite movie with Awkwafina and Michelle Yeoh in which a young Chinese American woman from a working-class family discovers that the man she has been close to for years (and also works with) has been hiding the fact that he is the scion of an immensely powerful and secretive family, and they take a plane trip together to Asia where he has to confront his parent?

Instead, we seem to have easily disprovable arguments that teams (or at least developers) are making decisions with near-perfect information and that the loss of users and revenue is *intentional*? But with no data to back that up, and none of the collateral we'd expect to see to inform those choices? E.g., conference talks or blogs about how to set up your choices to exclude only the "right" people.
