I must be living in the twilight zone with this #TikTok bullshit law. People are actually defending the government saying it’s a good move for the security of people. Am I back in Venezuela? What in the fuck is going on here?

I'm not saying we shouldn't worry about how China might be using TikTok to steal our data and manipulate us...
But why aren't we at least as worried about the U.S. billionaires who own the other apps stealing our data and trying to manipulate us?

The Oxide Friends have talked about the Hashicorp license change, the emergence of an open source fork of Terraform in OpenTofu, and other topics in open source. A few weeks ago both InfoWorld and Hashicorp (independently?) accused OpenTofu of stealing Terraform code—a serious claim that turned out to be fully unfounded. @bcantrill and I talk about this FUD and FUD generally.

We’ve lost so much social media infrastructure to follow this sort of thing, but Talia Jane still at Twitter is doing a great job rounding things up in real time
(Moralize in the replies about linking to Twitter, get blocked 😘. Invest that energy to make masto more effective for this instead.)

I think we're focused on the wrong thing when we look at what tech works for a company like Amazon or Facebook or Netflix.
We should be looking at what tech works when you *don't* have a small army of staff engineers optimizing it. I want to know what I can scale *without* paying someone a half million dollar salary to do it.
There should be more case studies on things that don't have a billion-dollar company propping them up, humming along quietly on a cheap-ass VPS somewhere.

This would be a great day to put the fundraiser for Sydette Harry (@blackamazon in other places) over the top.
Sydette has been working on making online communities better and safer for more people for years and years, often with little recognition, and her fierce commitment to focusing on the people taking the most damage has genuinely changed the conversation.

@collinsworth after hearing this reasonable take being ignored through my entire professional career, I gave up. Excited engineers will always follow "industry leaders" without criticism. Dissent is confused with ignorance.

What I'm listening to today: "CZ-3000.mpeg", Grégoire Blanc
For a period in the 80s Casio produced a high-end "CZ" line, which used a unique synthesis method called "phase distortion"; it's like FM, but way cooler.
Grégoire Blanc is a professional concert thereminist. The video desc explains he found his old CZ-3000 in the attic and the wave of memories inspired him to compose this.
This is… beautiful, actually, and deeply enigmatic. What is the emotion of this piece?

Protocol Supremacy™ won't liberate us from #BigTech.
We can't stand on our welcome mats with exposed acid tongues towards the same people we're waving over.
History will remember the Black and brown activists who changed minds on social media. It won't give a shit about the protocol that message was delivered on.
We owe these people our grace and full support. We should be listening instead of waving our finger in their face.

@jdp23 @fromjason Mastodon puritans, some kind of religious dogma obssesed with the fact that not everyone cares as much as they do about the details of the platform they use.
so, they'll see people from the third world who have used twitter to build a network over decades and denounce them for not immediately giving it up, assuming that everyone must follow and care about US news.
