There's truth in the Embrace, Enhance, Extinguish theory. But #Meta has its own strategy. It's called Copy, Acquire, K*ll.

I wrote about that strategy as it relates to #threads and #mastodon. I also have some insight for what Zuck might be up to. It's not what you think.

Sooo I defended the federation with #Threads as a way to attract more people to the Fediverse.

During the last weeks I saw Andrew Tate, Libs of TikTok and a bunch of racist weirdos get prioritized in its algorithm.

Then I read Adam Mosseri in an old article mentioning how his team lose "some" sleep about the Myanmar Genocide.

Kill Threads. With fire.

It's tough to get things done as a parent, but if you spend an entire afternoon on it, and neglect your kids in front of the TV, you can probably get about halfway done with a very minor project that will remain unfinished for weeks. I know you can do it.

I think it's important to recognize that NFTs served their purpose, that being as a mechanism to transfer wealth from the desperate to the rich, and once they passed some threshold of useful inflation, to facilitate money laundering.

Here’s the video Cyber Toufan posted last month of them accessing the Bitbucket source code repositories of Joomi - a Magento developer (online shopping stores).

The repositories are not public so somehow they got into Joomi.

A recent citywide survey found that 43% of San Franciscans would be more likely to use a bike/scooter if there were a network of protected bike lanes.

43% of San Francisco’s current population is 360,000+ people — this would massively, positively, and quickly transform our city!

#Firefox is by far the best browser on desktop. Let me be clear, I am not saying that because I am ideologically opposed to using Google products. I use YouTube and Google Workspaces. Chrome genuinely has nothing to offer over Firefox. If your website doesn't work in Firefox then I'm not using your website.

You likely realise I've posted almost nothing on the two major conflicts that have been killing thousands during 2023.

This is mostly because there is nothing I feel I can add to the already extensive & well-informed commentary across #Mastodon.

But, having taught IR & Global Politics for 25yrs before retiring let me share this one thought.

Behind all these conflicts is a striking problem:

the inability to see the other side as human at all!

Everything else flows from that

This piece by the always fantastic Yale history professor Timothy Snyder, may be the best thing you will read on the subject of Trump's disqualification from running for office for being an insurrectionist.
