@DemocracyDocket This UI really needs to be radio buttons instead of checkboxes.

The Internet Archive lost its appeal in the Hachette case. What a devastating loss for all of us.

@textfiles What subjects are covered by the non-DLARC funded manuals? I only see mention of ham radio and radio technology manuals.

[Jason Scott @textfiles]

So, that manuals scanning project I was making noise about? Looks like we're 10% funded so far. That may not sound like much, but that's thousands of manuals that will be scanned. I'm hoping it'll be more. Donation link:

There is an Ad now every four tweets. This has gotten really bad. Most all look really scammy too.

[John @jzcoder]

I really dislike this new fad in UI/UX with expanding carousel images on hover. When you are scrolling horizontally and images are blowing up at the mouse position and nearby images jumping to new positions is totally disorienting. Please stop this pattern.

@elkmoose What machine was this released on ?

[John @jzcoder]

@cpioli64 I’ve been seeing similar issues. Two different fire tv 4K sticks and a fire tv. Cover images loading slow or not at all and spinning blue wait circle for like a minute on any prime titles. No issues with other apps.

@decadesnetwork really sorry to see programming change to comedies only. We really enjoyed the weekly binges in everything but the comedies. After The Mod Squad we won’t give your new @catchycomedyfun another thought. Bye #decadestv great while it lasted

My dogs just stared me down demanding payment for alerting us to the UPS driver at our front door.

Charlie Munger on remote work for Software Engineers:

"those people are never going back"

"If your job in life is to get on the telephone and talk to other engineers all over the world while you solve problems, why do you have to do it from an office?"

Finally signed up for a Mastodon account over on Hachyderm. What finally pushed me was Twitter blocking people from posting their Mastodon accounts

@david_desanto @gitlab @ashimmy Software supply chain security is definitely one of the greatest threats facing developers. It’s one I certainly think about all the time now. You have been way ahead on this for a long time.

[John @jzcoder]

Good to see @Phylum_IO raising "Dependency Confusion" as #3 in this list of software supply chain threats. I remember getting hit by this with a NPM pkg and you don't hear much about this risk. https://t.co/OshkpUeGaF

@martinthomastw I have used both and there did seem to be less paperwork at CVS than Walgreens. And even when they had no record of my appointment, they did give me the shot after filling out only a couple of pages, mostly Q&A.

[John @jzcoder]

@martinthomastw Just today I scheduled online with CVS for a flu shot. When I got there they had no record of my appointment. Later this afternoon got email saying my appt was cancelled because I never showed up.

I have a #PowerBI joke, but you have to have premium to get it.
