from a Guardian email:
“…we are no longer posting from any official Guardian editorial accounts on the social media site X (formerly Twitter). We think that the benefits of being on X are now outweighed by the negatives and that resources could be better used promoting our content elsewhere.”
good.

One thing about 80s and early 90s pre-internet counterculture that current internet counterculture misses pretty hard is the culture of publication and curation.
I don't know what's got me thinking about this so much this morning, but I am, so it's time to talk about it.
In the 80s and 90s, if you wanted other people to find something you had to put in some effort. You had to make a physical artifact, a mixtape or a zine or whatever, and you had to include all the information they'd need on that artifact, because there was no way to bootstrap discovery from nothing. All discovery was dependent on either a social layer or a publication layer or a social publication layer.

Since Twitter is changing its ToS tomorrow to allow every tweet to be used to train AI, I decided to delete my accounts today.
And I saw that your account settings somehow have a gender marker, which is internal and not displayed publicly. And mine said female.
I don't remember that section of the profile being there, or me setting that to female. And the text suggests that the "initial value" of that field might be AI-determined based on your tweets and profile.
So I guess thanks Elon for validating me as not a cis man? 🤷

@sil @nolan @tomayac as a professional developer of ridiculously complicated web apps, I can with extreme prejudice say that anything the platform can do to *remove tooling* would be a good thing for my teams development.
Tooling is without doubt the biggest drag on the JS ecosystem today. I spent a disproportionate amount of time making transpiling, bundling, testing and debugging work reliably and every 'upgrade' brings a new suite of weird bugs and time sink.
