RIP Dame Maggie Smith (1934-2024)
Among many other roles, the British actress was brilliant in Othello (1965), California Suite (1978), Clash of the Titans (1981), Hook (1991), Sister Act (1992), Gosford Park (2001), Downton Abbey, and of course, the Harry Potter series (2001–2011).
We'll miss her.

I decided to (hastily, probably clumsily, definitely verbosely) put down all of my thoughts on the Matt Mullenweg/WP Engine fiasco.
In short: I believe it's in the best interest of WordPress that Matt's powers be severely curtailed, if not entirely removed.

okay, if this is in the dlang docs as an example
dt += 10.days + 100.seconds;then I’m going to guess I can get a subscription expiryDate to happen easily/quickly/cheaply… yay

Mastodon nerds, this is an urgent message: please keep nerding out on things you are passionate about and then taking us along on your deep dives. Share your pics and discoveries. Muse. Show us dust motes and explain how you learned that no two are the same.
A passionate engagement with the beauty and weirdness of the world we have is a hope project. It is a meaning-making project.
It is a resistance project.

My talk on End-to-end Encryption in Local-first Apps is available 🥳
In the talk I covered four key pillars:
- Sync
- Key Agreement
- Establishing Trust
- Identity
and for each I explained the why and how with examples and compared local-first frameworksCheckout https://www.youtube.com/live/s2pUguBxpLg?si=aLJ9SuS8IivDpRFv&t=69

So I made a #BearBlog.
It's called, Web 3.0 Slept With My Wife.
Why? I don't know, man. Why are you asking so many questions.
Anyway, I intend to write short notes about the future of the web. There's a first post up but it's probably not representative of the tone I'll carry through the rest of the way. I want to get weird. We'll see.

Before you boldly type that you have no sympathy for people who aren't getting out of the way of #HurricaneHelene , please remember that the Big Bend / Panhandle of Florida has effectively zero regional public transit.
People who can't drive (due to economics or disability) have already been abandoned en masse by #Florida's governments & US automobile-centric city "planning".
Don't harden your heart toward the many people—unsurprisingly, folks already marginalized—that #America has abandoned.

Anyway, I'm not interested in "beating" those social media giants. I think it's the wrong goal and will lead to the wrong conclusions and actions.

Also, I think we really underestimate the power of marketing and advertising. I don't know if it's because we're all swimming in it so much, or if it's because we all overestimate our ability to not be swayed by it (probably a little of both plus other things I'm missing), but marketing and advertising are power. To the extent you can wield them, you can wield power. Advertising doesn't always work as intended, but it's difficult to defeat something that wields it or has wielded it effectively.

When I hear people ask or wonder about how mastodon or the wider fediverse can "beat" Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc, it often feels to me like asking, "What will it take to make a better casino?"

So it was only a hundred years ago - 1924 - when someone figured out the Sun, and all the rest of the stars, were made mostly of hydrogen with some helium. All the other elements were in trace amounts.
She was a student at Harvard named Cecilia Payne.
At the time the consensus was stars were made up of pretty much what Earth was made of.
It took 4 more years for a man to confirm the discovery before it was widely accepted, with him as discoverer.
It's all hers now.
