I guess creepy Japanese corporations are run by aliens from Black Hole Planet 3 who plan to rebuild Tokyo so they can resume their normal forms.

They're throwing the works at us from the very start: cheesy model work, an exploding submarine, a weird long-necked kaiju (very fishy), and a UFO.

It will be a few days before we get official confirmation from the National Grid, but I’m calling it now: 2023 was the year renewables overtook fossil fuels as the largest contributor to British electricity generation. In the 12 years I’ve been running National Grid: Live at https://grid.iamkate.com electricity generation from fossil fuels has fallen from an average of 25.1GW to 10.2GW, while renewables have risen from 2.5GW to 10.8GW.

Mastodon FeedI was pretty surprised to see that Hacker News changed the title of my post with no visual indication or editor's note.
I like HN, it's one of the few places we can read non-corporate blogs. But that seems to me like an odd editorial practice in absence of any indicator. The app(dot)net section was maybe 500 words of a 2,200 word piece.
Left: HN editorial change. Right: HN aggregator with original title

I don't know if it's an issue with Android or with the Chipotle app (though I strongly suspect it must be the former), but every time I order, I end up with a notification that's literally impossible to dismiss and I have to restart my whole damn phone to get rid of it.

Today my New Year wishes are happening all around the world. Moscow, Kyiv, Paris, Houston. It leaves a bitter taste, because not all of us moved (or stayed) on our own volition. But you can still find the good people everywhere.
Happy New Year friends!

Oh great, someone spreading misinfo about @pixelfed because they don't know how federation works 🙄
The source code is kind of public and this claim is easy to prove wrong by just reading it ✨

Mastodon FeedMy latest post is currently number one on Hacker News. Mods changed my title, but hey, that’s show biz baby 😅
I wrote about Meta and how it could pivot into cloud services for social media. And how regulation could play a role. https://fromjason.xyz/p/notebook/copy-acquire-kill-how-meta-could-pull-off-the-most-extraordinary-pivot-in-tech-history/

Page transitions have not shipped in any browser by default, and I honestly think devs don't realize it because CanIUse doesn't reflect that very well, and because the devs all have the experimental flag enabled so it seems like it's on to them.
Mastodon FeedThe Cambridge Analytica scandal changed everything for Meta (then #Facebook). It severely limited Zuck's options to grow his empire. And those options were already narrow.
When was the last time you remember Meta buying a social media platform? WhatsApp?
The scandal exposed a lot of dirt, and US regulators don't want another platform under Meta's control.
So instead, Meta has used the k*ll part of Copy, Acquire, K*ll to maintain dominance.
