What went wrong with Mozilla? And can it be corrected before we lose Firefox?

You should know that Fezzik is crouched over his "treats" button slamming it over and over and I regret all of my life choices.

@npub1u3f…nne2 that’s an additional 155 roles, according to the reporting :(

Oh Bungie acted on product plans that had them running in the red, which ended up with two big layoffs while the guy who made those decisions -- Pete Parsons -- keeps his job? Cool, cool. 17% of the studio gone today while the mistake-maker stays? Cool, cool.

Bleah. Stevia does not work for me.

Twitter gone.
Google Search dead and ready to be replaced by a young upstart.
Reddit something I only search for answers and never visit regularly.
StackOverflow now an archive, not a living site.
All these things, strip-mined for temporary value.

> I may not know anything about the nuance of building analytics systems for drug rehabilitation research, but through the power of talking to each other like adults, we somehow solve problems.
> But most companies can't do this, because they are operationally and culturally crippled. The median stay for an engineer will be something between one to two years, so the organization suffers from institutional retrograde amnesia.

I woke up earwormed by “Powerhouse”, a fairly strange song to be earwormed by. For reasons I can't understand, I started singing bits of the keyboard parts of "Kashmir” and now I'm earwormed by a horrifying pastiche of both songs.

Student protests: historically on the correct side of issues.
Beating up those students: never the thing celebrated 20 and 50 years later as the right move.

I’m just sitting here wondering how people could NOT read the Murderbot stories as about personhood and bodily autonomy and slavery. What.

I own a 13-inch 2020 MBP M1. It is normal to feel lust in my heart for the 14-inch M3 Pro? Asking for you-know-who-I’m-asking-for.

A song I just sang to my cat:
Her Majesty's a pretty nice cat
and she always has a lot to say
Her Majesty's a pretty nice cat
but she changes from day to day
I wanna tell her that I love her a lot
but she has to get a bellyful of cream
Her Majesty's a pretty nice cat
some days she drives me off the beam
oh yeah
some days she drives me off the beam
Shut up about that last line. I had to make it rhyme and I had about half a second to figure it out. Also, this would have been perfect to sing to the late Mina, who was definitely Her Majesty.

I... the Financial Times linked me to this cover of “Killing in the Name”. It’s… just click on it.

The OSS license conversation has been super-useful. Thank you all! I learned about several license relevant to my interests.

@npub1ykg…g4jv It's all about the Presger Translators, is all i’ll say. Except, of course, about more than that.

Anne Leckie's _Translation State_ is very very good. Holy heck.

A repeating pattern in modern services. Read and weep.
