Sorry, one last tweet before I go. This is the worst intentional user experience of all time. Someone links you to their profile, you click follow, and then Mastodon tells you to open your server, copy and paste the link into a search box, and then click follow there.

You know, I’m opening this app less and less and making peace with it. I’ll miss everything I’ve been able to learn by being on Twitter, but it isn’t that fun anymore when I watch new management lie, berate, and publicly shame my former coworkers by posting out of context quotes.

I took a nap and dreamed that I was laying in bed scrolling Twitter, it may have been the most realistic dream I’ve ever had.

Twitter’s trends have become a complete train wreck since they fired all the curators who worked around the clock made it usable for 100+ million people, surprising result.

I’m in a bit of a reading rut, what’s a great article you’ve read lately? It doesn’t have to be about tech, current events, or the zeitgeist, but it should be something that’s shaped the way you think in some manner.

If it helps this is my “reading list”....

1/ Somehow I’ve never tweeted this but my long-held belief is that technology is running about 20-50 years ahead of society right now. We don’t have answer so it can feel like things are out of control is because we’re not looking for them, and in that void technology runs wild.

A programming problem that looks easy but ends up being hard? The ol’ bait and switch case.

In case you’re ever embarrassed about your code, I spent 6 hours debugging why I couldn’t send data to my Vapor server running on localhost.

Turns out their routes look like this:
<a href="http://http://app.post("token"," class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">http://http://app.post("token", "exchange”),

Not:
<a href="http://http://app.post(&quot;token/exchange”)" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">http://http://app.post("token/exchange”)

People just do not know what they’re doing when it comes to moderation. Some of the moderation decisions I’m seeing on Mastodon based on the whims of a few moderators make Twitter with basically zero moderation for 250 million people look like professionals.

Apparently foosball is not called foosball in other cultures, people are wild.

A Swift Evolution proposal that will never happen but would lower the barrier to entry for developers and add clarity, replace ternaries with a then keyword.

This
x ? y : z

Would become
if x then y else z

The Terminator prequel is all of us playing with ChatGPT and accidentally training Skynet.

Had an absolutely amazing time at @baswiftable the last two days, it was an absolute treat. And very thankful it helped me miss out on Kanye Hitler day, absolutely no idea what is going on with everyone here. 🙏🏼

My new conspiracy theory is that Twitter is preventing people from questioning the company’s authority by censoring the word sheeple.

I mean ya gotta watch the World Cup with people if you’re in Argentina, right?
November 17, 2024 at 3:13 AM
You gotta love how hard Argentina goes for the World Cup. And no, I didn’t have McDonald’s in the land of unlimited empanadas, beef, and weird pizza.

Painters have so much talent, I had no idea how many of them were also impressionists.

Fun Twitter office story, they used to have 8 foot tall kiosks that displayed tweets. Most people didn’t realize they were touch screen Android tablets running a giant version of the app so I used to walk around the NYC office changing them to show pictures of @jckarter’s dogs.

When in Argentina do as the Argentinian’s do, their pizza is something else. It was fantastic, but a loooooot, I’ve never taken two lactose pills for any meal before but…
