It’s hard to imagine how this is even possible on the web, but it is, and we should celebrate that.

I wish to see more journalists doing what @hellgatenyc.com and @404media.co are doing and fewer doing the solo patreon route. I want to pay a collective for my news not one person. Seems like a successful model.

i think one of the most important "will this place be filled with red flags?" questions you can ask when interviewing for a job is whether the CEO regularly goes to burning man.

New cartoonish tech CEO just dropped www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/s...

"We have a cat and a dog and a child and an adult in the same room," he said. "Why not an A.I.?
In preparation for the campaign's Aug. 25
launch in New York, Mr. Schiffmann headed to Burning Man, without an internet connection. The overlap was intentional. "I wanted to do the coolest thing I could possibly do and the biggest thing I could possibly do at the same time," he said. "In the spirit of life-maxing."

`amok` is clearly one of the best ways to run, but `afoul` is a close contender

It really is incredible just how bad most software is now. I don't labor under the delusion that there was ever a Golden Age of software, but it's gotten bad enough that more-or-less the main feature I look for in any software product now is that it's not fundamentally broken

bluesky decentralization in action:

- bluesky the corp bans a user
- user’s data is alive on their blacksky PDS, an indie server
- blacksky will deploy their own API server which will bring back the user to everyone else
- user keeps their data, identity, followers. nothing is lost

Rudy wants revolution. @rude1.blacksky.team · 2d

TL; DR
In the next 5 business days you should be able to go to Link's page on blacksky.community and see his posts and he'll be able to post but people using the bsky mobile apps won't see it.
After that we'll get Blacksky-only posts up.
After that we can talk about purging bsky mod tools

We’ve sold through a lot of the Umulamahri vinyl already and I’m genuinely unsure of how that happened. It hasn’t been covered by almost any publication; I don’t really understand how people are hearing about it
