What was the Dotcom Boom like? Bryan Cantrill (@bcantrill.bsky.social - cofounder and CTO at Oxide):
"One of my early life lessons: that boom will go on longer than you think possible, and when it switches, it will collapse faster than you can fathom."

We now have leaders of allied nations unable to trust a word the US tells them.
We are witnessing one of the greatest diplomatic and foreign relations blunders of our lifetimes.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

I already have the lowest opinion possible for Meta/Facebook, but even for them this is a new low. It is absolutely outrageous they did this and are now defending it. I’m glad my kids remain banned from Zuckerberg-verse 😡

Daughter is trying to watch a YT video for her provided course work. It’s 48m long and so far has skipped adverts about 40 times. YT pulled a blinder getting the world to upload content to something they’d then so ruthlessly monetise. At this rate schools will need to pay for subscriptions! 😡

First road trip in the EV done! Given I was staying at locations without a charging point, had to rely on public chargers. Let’s just say the UK has some way to go in making this work well. It was bedlam at some places as people started to jostle for position and bays. It needs to get a lot better ♻️

I was going to skype "even if #Tesla never had the data, THAT would be obstruction of justice." AI companies are morally and in the EU at least legally obliged to keep evidence of having followed due diligence. But look at THIS smoking gun: 1/2

Tesla said it didn’t have key data in a fatal crash. Then a hacker found it.
The key evidence was presented last month to a jury, which found the company partially liable for the 2019 crash in Key Largo, Florida.
