I’m especially happy tonight to be on a platform not run by a billionaire dickhead. #fediverse

Accurate definition of AI initiatives expressed as a chiasmus:

Thing I said today in my API Design workshop when describing the basic difference between 400 level HTTP response codes and 500 level response codes:

“400s are basically the server telling the client to quit it. Unless you fix the problem the answer stays the same. 500s are basically the server saying, ‘It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me’.”

😂

It wasn’t intentional, I just went there on the fly without conscious intent.

It’s her world and we live in it.

@lain Maybe it was artistic license because nothing rhymes with Spätzle. 😂

My favorite EPL teams:

3. just enjoy good
4. footie.
5. Whoever is playing ARSEnal.

These companies are losing their damn minds. Commercial software and cloud-hosting are non-viable without the notion of privacy and data ownership.

I think the #fediverse is the kind of thing that has to happen to a social system like the Internet to force you to be engaged, more self-sufficient, and not reliant upon the largesse of government subsidies and vampiric commercial entities.

We have to drive it to keep it.

@LittleTokyo I want to say Shane MacGowan was in the ball park. Popular, gravelly voice, story teller, wrote great songs.

If things stop working for awhile in a bit, you’ll know why:

You come at me with a bad joke, you better be ready.

So many great events online still. If you aren't in SF, you can tap into the @longnow seminars, but they are great in person too.

Tonight's looks really useful:

"Resisting Dystopia" with Hugo award-winning SciFi authors Becky Chambers and @annaleen:

@stevesilberman Mastodon because it is different. It's not just another venture-backed data grab. It is the community deciding what it wants. There are and will be hiccups, but I think we're all the better for working through them.
