The obsession with having zero privacy, and everything open on the social web is bizarre.

We're headed to a zero-privacy web.

Local-only posts are good, actually. Especially for marginalized groups, but also just as a standard for "decentralized" ecosystems.

Having been through the US immigration process (I got my first work visa more than 25 years ago and became a citizen in 2022), it's obvious to me that Americans have *no idea* how weird and tortuous their immigration system is:

Being on Team Words Mean Things is difficult these days, particularly when multibillion-dollar companies put out breathless press releases saying "By using our massive language model, whose training data includes every version of GCC ever released, and having it autocorrect its own output by testing it against GCC, we managed to make a C compiler that mostly works for only $20,000 in a week and gosh I have so many feelings."

I mean, what the fuck are we even doing here.

Great news everyone thanks to my significant advances in modern algorithmic analysis I am personally able to outperform a warehouse full of specialized GPUs by five orders of magnitude with a single ARM core for one one-millionth the cost in 0.1% of the time by training the "cp" command on only the GCC source and then compiling the output of that program with GCC.

The resulting compiler - which I'm calling "mhoyecc", or as I've taken to calling it, mhoye plus cc, passes 100% of GCC's tests.

This is my favorite sweatshirt. I bought it back in 2016. That last three years I wasn’t able to fit into it. It turns out, that gained weight was bad for my health. Today, I fit into my fav sweatshirt. It’s a small win but I feel good.

amateur radio operators the world over use "Q-signs", three letter groupings starting with a Q, to say common things ("QRZ" means "Who is calling me?", for example). these are left over from the days when most traffic was CW ("Morse Code"), with a nice rhythm to the leading Q. these "pro-signs" are also often used in RTTY & other digital modes as well as voice, for the sake of brevity.

NATO also uses a set of "Z-signs", my current favorite of which is:

@mcc Using Twitter as the first time that a lot of people experienced this, I have started pitching this idea as "if a petulant billionaire decides to destroy this project, how much would he need to pay?" Every point of centralization is now a massive vulnerability instead of a cost-cutting necessity, because you don't even need the petulant billionaire.
