Mark Zuckerberg's objection to the #KOSA bill is pure political theatre. Once that bill passes, compliance with the new law becomes complicated and pricey. Independent servers will be desperate for help.

And there's only one company positioned to snatch them all up— #Meta.

For all intense and purposes, the #Fediverse will be under Zuck's thumb.

Regulatory capture.

• -v, --verbose Sets (with a numeric value) or increments the verbosity level of output. Without the verbose option, no output is produced upon success, in the classic UNIX style. If no other options request a different action, the first -v encountered will be interpreted as --verify instead (and does not increase verbosity). -v, --verify Requests verification of code signatures. If other actions (sign, display, etc.) are also requested, -v is interpreted to mean --verbose. (remote)

When will San Francisco transform merchant corridors (e.g. Valencia, Hayes, Grant, Chestnut, etc.) into economically vibrant ones like this?

Well, it's official: California just experienced its warmest July on record. This is now the third time in the past 10 years California has broken its previous July record--and this time shattered previous record by a genuinely startling nearly 2°F (!) margin. #CAwx #CAfire [1/3]

Attachments:

• A time series plot showing July temperatures between 1895-2024 on a California statewide average basis. There is a clear upward trend in this period, with 2024 being the highest value in the entire time series by a nearly 2 degree margin and the previous two record warm Julys having both occurred in the past decade as well.

We have already started working on more advanced censorship circumvention techniques, but in order for these efforts to be most effective we need the big companies who are dragging their feet on moving away from plaintext SNI headers to start taking this problem more seriously.

I DON'T KNOW, WHAT PROBLEM ARE YOU TRYING TO SOLVE?!?

I'm not here to run your bakeoffs for you. You run bakeoffs, right?

Sunofa....

I'm not here to write down your critical user journeys and get your team to agree on their priority. That's YOUR job.

Do. Your. Job.

*"But bootcamp grads only know React.."*

These are folks that literally just *paid* to learn something new. You think they can't learn whatever new thing you'd ask them to? That they wouldn't *jump* at the chance? That they aren't *extremely motivated* to make good things and build great stuff for users?

I swear, the next manager I see that blames new grads for their own deep lack of curiosity...

*"But we need to be able to hire..."*

Do NOT make me come over there.

Did you *try* hiring for fundamentals? Did you send a rec asking for semantic HTML, modern CSS, and progressive enhancement? Because I *guarantee* you they're out there. By the thousands. Some of the very best webdevs in the world are looking for work right now, and you could *easily* hire them.

How do I know? Because we opened a few recs this spring for Web Components and were *flooded* with *incredible* candidates.

slightlyoff@toot.cafe ("Alex Russell") wrote:

*"But our team knows React..."*

THAT IS NOT A THING. They don't know "React", they're on a continual treadmill[1] of React sub-variants, bundler configuration micro-languages, and one-off plugin amalgamations.

THERE IS NO INDUSTRY STANDARD REACT STACK. IT DOES NOT EXIST OUTSIDE OF TOYS.

And if your website is a toy, why would you let that nonsense anywhere *near* the door when simpler, cheaper options have always existed?
