This is the correct take @gruber. Given the choice between harming creators and damaging its relationship with a big tech giant, always choose protecting creators.

X/Twitter has a new AI image creator capability, and of course, it's starting out on the wrong foot with violent, dubious, and IP-stealing images. One user was able to create an AI image of #ElonMusk with an assault rifle in a very bloody classroom filled with children's bodies.

- Megan McArdle: People are shockingly good at visually distinguishing males from females, even when you choose relatively androgynous models, and even when you strip visual cues like hair. … Megan McArdle, a little later: My experience is that the people who misgender me are generally not really looking at me. They are store clerks, security guards, etc who have glanced my way, registered “tall”, converted that into “man”, and then called me “sir”. (remote)

Beginning to think "move slow and fix things" should be a standard greeting between people now. Maybe we need a response to go with it. One person says, "Move slow and fix things" (vulcan salute optional), and the second person says... 🤔

This is the *key* thing people don't understand about social media adoption.
Companies like Twitter / Facebook / SnapChat have *vast* teams of sales people. They offer support in setting up accounts, priority support lines, branding and moderation expertise.
Individuals mostly don't see that. So it appears that your local council just decided one day to join Twitter. They didn't - they were sold a product.
Mastodon's growth is (mostly) organic - and that has a limit.

Your blog does not need frameworks built for SPAs.
Your e-commerce "experience" should be progressively enhanced (no, that does not mean "SSR+huge bundles")
Your news website is not "an app".
Part 3 of my series on how JavaScript fucked over US public benefits services is up, and includes a handy rubric for "should we React?"

Part 3: Caprock
SPAs and the frameworks built to support them are kryptonite to organisations that are not 110% across the complexity of the infrastructure they own and operate. This is a predictable recipe for disaster in low-maturity teams, both public and private sector.

One of my podcast heroes -- the inimitable @natogreen, who you might know from The Bugle, which I was listening to back in '13 when I lived in London; also still too -- showed up on our doorstep to stump for a candidate as I was deep in the unwashed, unshaven, bedraggled throes of writing a 15K word series on the inaccessibility of California public digital services thanks to JavaScript-industrial-complex fuckwittery:
