Like many, I've been re-trying Mastodon and can be found via @[email protected] (alias to @[email protected]). So far I'm finding it a lot more usable than my initial attempt many moons ago.

Here is how #platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. 1/

I just realized that #ChatGPT is the perfect Dungeon Master's aid. Need some plot points? NPC background? Room descriptions? BAM!

When millionaires talk about risk, personal financial risk even, they don’t mean it like the rest of us understand. They won’t be destitute if that “risky play” doesn’t pan out. They won’t be unable to feed their kids or be homeless. They have a large backstop and always did.

@sogrady Excellent and well reasoned summary, and while I want something else to be successful and there’s some good in Mastodon, it is definitely early for anyone not willing to put in some extra effort.

I want to dig in for a bit on this set of Slack replies from a Twitter manager talking about undoing some of the layoffs.

[noise @n01s3]

@ChrisVermilion Oh and it also doesn’t include top-down deadlines, rapidly changing priorities/plans, or regular long or weekend hours.

[noise @n01s3]

It’s as though we don’t have decades of learning how to run effective engineering orgs. Hint: it doesn’t include mandatory buts-in-seats time nor overloaded line managers.

Bashir counters: "But I don't see you exploiting anyone."

Rewatching DS9 and came to the realization that R voters are like the Ferengi – Rom says: "You don't understand. Ferengi workers don't want to stop the exploitation. We want to find a way to become the exploiters." (S04E16 "Bar Association")
