@alannorbauer @nmn ah, sorry. I thought you were sharing the (common, but wrong) critique that people only want to use Facebook and TikTok. Sorry for being a bit short about it, you can imagine it gets vexing after a while when lots of people read a thing and respond with ads for the worst of the internet.

@alannorbauer @nmn then I don’t know what you mean by “lack of understanding of what people care about”?

@noracodes yeah it’s also just bad technical practice to not conform to ecosystem standards. Basic postel’s law shit.

@atomless @danmcquillan this makes me think of the fake jitter in the NYT needle

@arthurwyatt it’s good

@TeflonTrout @TheSpork @CatDad have you genuinely never encountered other cultures with different norms?

RETVRN

@TheSpork @CatDad @anildash this is very frequently not true

@evan @potch @KevinMarks @anildash @lmorchard @kellan @rabble yeah but the shift there is about what kind of stack you can run and the level of sophistication you have to have to run it and scale it. The security considerations alone are massively larger.

Hell yeah, submitted a question to the NYPL and got that unmistakable default Bootstrap confirmation alert. I love to see it.

Ten years ago, it’s time for Asian American men to stop being the model minority in tech. https://medium.com/message/the-tech-diversity-story-thats-not-being-told-9a36fb40530f

@lmorchard @potch I keep thinking about a push cannon that could do the polling of various feeds and then fire out actions as needed. The model would be the old blog ping servers.

Just for the record, this isn’t correct, and ignores both varying cultural norms and variations in neurotypicality. Any “always” statement about human communications styles is incomplete. Always.

@alannorbauer @remotesynth @rauschma can’t tell if you didn’t read the article or didn’t understand it.

The renaissance of the open web continues to flourish — today it’s David Cassel in The New Stack, walking you through the most unforgettable apps of the last year on @glitchdotcom. And they’re all sterling examples of how regular people are making the most inspiring and innovative things on the human internet. https://thenewstack.io/2023s-most-unforgettable-glitch-projects/

@JasonPunyon @jenn glad to hear it! Have been mostly offline, sorry I missed this.

@timnitGebru it’s literally unreasonable. https://anildash.com/2023/06/08/ai-is-unreasonable/

Going live shortly! Don’t miss it. https://mastodon.social/@glitchdotcom/111892251922571694

@jimray discovery is the last frontier of the new open web.

✅ gaming the NYT bestseller list
✅ buying full page print ads in WaPo
✅ elbowing onto Hard Fork, Pivot, other tech pods
✅ placing pre-pub features in Wired, Bloomberg, FT
