Reform UK is a fascist party!

I paid for a ticket, was silent in the queue, and when I reached the front, despite showing my press pass, they kicked me out.

Journalists who criticise Nigel Farage and Richard Tice, get dragged from buildings or sued.
They HATE free speech!

Google Chrome will block uBlock Origin.

Which means, all Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, etc.) will eventually block it too.

If you care about this, and you care about privacy, just switch to @firefox. For an average user, that's the best choice currently.

Word of the day is ‘fanfaron’ (17th century): one who struts the stage and makes a parade of their arrogance and smuggery.

Thread time. Here's the thing about @tesla. It's not a car company. Tesla is a company that has to make cars in order to sell its real product: Emissions Credits.

Let me explain. Back in 2012, the EPA put out new, strident emissions standards for new vehicles fleetwide. 1/

Handy Mastodon tip: you don't have to join Mastodon to follow people there - every profile is an RSS feed if you add .rss to the end of it, my feed there is https://t.co/KV0D3aNbAU - RSS is back in fashion again! I've been using @NetNewsWire on macOS and iOS and I really like it

The U.S. government made an anti-fascism film in 1943 — and it’s still disturbingly relevant today

Anecdotally, Firefox has the fewest bugs of any browser. WebKit has by far the most.

The React Spectrum team tracks all of the browser bugs we file (a lot), and almost 60% are WebKit. ~25% Chrome, ~16% Firefox.

Good job, Mozilla! Firefox is underrated.

OKRs are fine as far as they go, but I *really* dislike the requirement that the KR must be a metric—something measurable. Time for my periodic list of quotes on measurement!

Goodhart's law: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure". 1/6

So just for context

Wuhan strain 👉🏼 R0 of 3.3
Delta strain 👉🏼R0 of 5.1
Omicron BA.1 👉🏼R0 of 9.5
BA.2 👉🏼 R0 of approx 13.3
BA.4/5 👉🏼R0 of 18.6

We still don’t know for sure what it is for BA.2.75.
The game has changed, make wise decisions and #WearAMask

crypto users often use the phrase "keep building", but I had no idea what they're building. crypto doesn't produce anything. took a while to realize they're talking about shoveling cash into speculative investments and telling others to follow. they are building a pyramid.

@AdamRackis I am fine with the touchbar. What I am not fine with is the removal of the F* keys and Esc. There was room for both even on the 13" Mac, just by reducing the touchpad height a few mm

One side effect of the layoffs by "forced return to office" is that it won't be the people you think should be laid off that quit.

It is very likely to be your best and most talented people.
