@epoberezkin I just started using ajv and noticed it has a dependency on an fast-json-patch that should be updated. Any chance you can merge https://t.co/Mx2SgenZIk ??

@jlerner @elonmusk Re gov: I agree, but you seemed to be saying that the government was doing it anyway. I was saying that people leaving to federated platforms made the governments job harder if what you were saying was true.

Re losers: I'm only here to talk to you. Make of that what you will.

Unsurprising.

@jlerner @elonmusk I have had a platform that no one used, but I was asking a hypothetical to understand how you thought pre-Elon Twitter was suppressing free speech.

[Mark A. Hershberger 🐀 @hexmode]

@jlerner @elonmusk Does free speech mean I have to listen to what anyone wants to say?

If no, then, if I own a website anyone can post to while still maintaining a right to my property (the website), is it a violation of free speech if I take down, say, someone's cookie recipe?

[Mark A. Hershberger 🐀 @hexmode]

@jlerner Then, the current exodus from this site to the fediverse where no one company controls who gets to talk, forcing the government to use more resources if it wants similar control, is a good thing, right?

This week, I moved my https://t.co/4Y9vnuG8Du account to https://t.co/Z3BRMEq0Py.

I love that Twitter has writers that I'm interested in and a big population, but after today's news, I think the end is nigh and I hope that they find a place in the fediverse.

WordleBot says it would have played the same as I did on my third guess. Which is not a surprise since I had WordleBot's list and it was the most likely to eliminate the most words.

I'm curious if any college CS courses require running services (outside messing around in a lab) nowadays?

Debugging intuition comes from experience & is built up from years & years of seeing systems fail in different ways.

Doug Mastriano asked by an Israeli reporter (@nathanguttman of @kann_news) to respond to antisemitic attack on Josh Shapiro and association with Gab.

His wife Rebbie steps in and says: “I'm gonna say we probably love Israel more than a lot of Jews do.” #PAGov
