Just curious, but ISTM Twitter crossed over the trust thermocline about two weeks into the Musk dictatorship. Is that reversible (against all odds)? If so, what would it take for new leadership to do that? Are there lessons that can be applied to similarly positioned companies?

@mastodonusercount That's wonderful, but Twitter has some 330 million monthly active users. We have a long way to go to approximate Twitter's network effect.

Mastodon question: How do I find toots that I bookmarked? I can't find any obvious way in the "advanced" UI to do that.

There is only one true requirement for any software: make your users/customers' lives better. Everything else is just implementation detail.

I thought I'd throw this out there in case it would be useful. This setup eliminated my carpal-tunnel issues. Yes it's weird 😄, but it works! Drop your hands down to your sides and relax. Bend your elbows. That's the angle you want your hands at. Zero tension. →

The mouse is a wired Evolulent (I tried the wireless, but it kept disconnecting from Bluetooth), which is the most comfortable one I've found. →

The keyboard is made by "Comfort," but I don't think they exist anymore. When it gives up the ghost, I plan to build another with a split keyboard and RAM mounts. ✖️

I sometimes forget how big some birds are! ---RT @Rainmaker1973The powerful talons of a golden eagle ensure that few prey can escape them once contact is made. The talons of this species exert approximately 440 pounds per square inch (3 MPa) of pressure, around 15 times more pressure than is exerted by the human hand https://buff.ly/2LVwQyN https://twitter.com/Rainmaker1973/status/1620381377320423426

In "Thinking, Fast and Slow," Daniel Kahneman observes that walking slowly is condusive to thinking. Ideas have time to percolate. When you walk fast, tho, you're too concentrated on the act of walking (and not tripping on something) to think about much at all. Same for software.

100% coverage gives you no indication at all that the code does something useful or solves anybody's problems.

California, the 4th largest economy in the world, has just announced that we will start producing our own insulin and distribute it at a very low cost. No drug companies involved. It's about time.

For some reason, ppl seem to think that Lean is all about metrics and targets. That's Taylorism, not Lean. Eiji Toyoda once said: “Since people make things, work must begin with developing people." I agree.

@stux Which are so incomprehensible that it would be better if they went the Apple route. Both are equally (in)effective.
