I just got a targeted Instagram ad for a @fuck.it email address and was surprised to see they had a Mastodon account listed on the bottom of their website

It’s the last slice of your aunt bessie’s award winning pie on the plate. She passed away a week ago, so you’ll never have the chance to taste this again. You and your siblings look at it for a moment and then…
Well, today is the day. I'm finally "sorta happy enough to pull the trigger" on publishing the book I've been working on for a very long time. It's a technical history book: by a techie, for techies (although I think that between all the code samples, there is plenty of meat for "tech-adjacent" and "tech-interested" people). It tells the story of the Lisp programming language, invented by a genius called John McCarthy in 1958 and today still going strong (to the extent that many people see it as the most powerful programming language in existence).
And this is a time for shameless self promotion, even if you don't plan on buying the book, please repost :-). Self-publishing is self-marketing, so there we go.
If you do buy and read it, please let me know how you liked it!
The book landing page, https://berksoft.ca/gol, has links to all outlets where you can buy the book,

a shred of morning light on a shady schoolyard
I’m having to do frontend dev for the first time in like 10 years and it is rougghhhh. It feels like everything involving browsers is some kind of deep lore. I’m currently trying to make it so a dropdown doesn’t close when you click its scrollbar and answers on how to do it online are all over the place.

A motley crew of NPCs you'll run into in 'Beast City', one of the last cities remaining on Earth after WWIII, where 'screamers' descend into the depths of the bio-monster infested BIAS zone to hunt them for credits and score.

PSA: If you block the `claude` user on GitHub, you'll get a warning every time you view a repo with that user in its commit history.
Now, the moment you look at a repo, you can immediately adjust your expectations.
You may do so here: https://github.com/settings/blocked_users
It also stops claude from making issues or PRs on any of your repos.
I consider this a bonus.

Huge advance for non-algorithmic based (hierarchical) feeds, almost no AI-written posts.
Both LinkedIn and Threads suffer immensely from AI-posts, where I see none, zero, on Mastodon. As in, I know there are some there probably, but no one is trying to “game” the system, since there is no “system to be gamed”.
I honestly think the age of social media isn’t over, but the age of algorithmic social media is. At least, it feels unsustainable.
the AI industry is going to have us maintaining the current gaming PCs like Cuban cars

James Talarico in his censored CBS interview: "This is the party that ran against cancel culture and now they’re trying to control what we watch, what we say, what we read. And this is the most dangerous kind of cancel culture."
The censorship of the interview just proves his point. Watch the interview in full here:
@dansup capitalists just can’t stop capitalizing. The freedom and means to do something different but…insanity is doing something the same way each time and expecting a different result every time.
