Feels like a lot of people in tech I used to follow managed to get known on social, then just lose all interest in tech and just shit post about politics all day.

Object.Method() Man@iansvoboda.com

Honestly, I haven’t been firing up blue sky as much because it largely consists of random liberal people being angry or otherwise talking shit about people who don’t agree with their politics. Half the “tech” accounts I was following don’t even post about tech anymore.

It’s not like everything has to be about one subject, but some of these people have made being dissatisfied with politics or this country their whole personality and I have no interested in reading that shit every day.

I think Nova by @panic.com should try to capture some of the WP developer market. There are still a lot of folks out there who are using SFTP to deploy or modify files, having that built-in (and well done) is a huge plus. But the tooling and extensions are still lacking in nova. No real AI support

I want it to be my daily driver because I like Panic and I love to support their work, but also because I just enjoy the native Mac app feel. But historically I've always had to switch due to a lack of quality extensions for linting and such that are reliable in VS Code.

Every single article for the NYT has a paywall these days. Which sucks because some stories look good. But I am absolutely never paying for a subscription that I cannot easily cancel and their subscription practices are customer hostile AF. So that’s a big no thanks from me.

Always seek data; never act on data alone. Because not looking at the data is just ignorance, but believing that all important things are in the data, or that the data are measuring what you think they're measuring, is also folly.

financial advice in a weird time: -- develop a plan -- find friends who support you -- preferably 10 of them -- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand -- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos -- get your wife back -- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw simple

Today, I finished building a really sweet mechanism in Full Site Editing: The ability to have *multiple block areas* Normally when you make a template for a given post, you only have one "outlet" for post content, which is the content block. (thread)

@iansvoboda.com

This saves a set of blocks to a meta key instead, so you can do things like place multiple content areas in the same template, instead of just one. Additionally can tell the content area block what allowedBlocks it can accept, so it's nice and composable for users.

It's wild how many conservative/right leaning folks are buying the bullshit about vaccines. I don't blindly believe anything I read (especially not from corpos), but I think these people seem to have a fundamental lack of respect for any actual science.

It's like saying every single artist is a sellout who exists only to make money for their label. Most people who devote their life/career to a craft have principles enough to not straight up lie for the benefit of their employers. A fundamental aspect of science is *questioning everything*.

Scientists themselves are, generally speaking, a skeptical bunch. That's why they test hypothesis and confirm results. And while it may not always be right, a scientific consensus isn't formed based on 1-2 studies. It takes a lot for people to go "yeah this is a thing".

I think the biggest fucking psyop of modern times is how a bunch of uneducated and unqualified people managed to convince a bunch of people that all science is a lie. As though scientists just violate scientific methods and principles simply to allow their bosses to sell more stuff.

I’m building a backyard office shed and I needed to figure out how much drywall to buy. So I asked Claude bc I didn’t feel confident doing the math myself. But I’m never going to ask Claude to design my interior or choose my furniture.

I think people will soon realize that AI isn’t good for creativity but is helpful to simplify tasks that previously were complex or hard to get right. Math calculations are a great example.

AI has *zero* rizz. Like most things in life, the quality of output is directly correlated to the quality of input. If you can’t explain yourself well enough or ask the right questions AI is never going to be as useful to you.

Dear Tesla owners, when ACTUAL NAZIS show up to protect your car dealership it might be a sign that it’s time to get rid of your car.

Boise Autonomous Solidarity Hub@bigbash.bsky.social

The Idaho Liberty Dogs and The Old State Saloon are calling for people to defend a car dealership in a Boise suburb on March 29th. Both groups have histories of Christian nationalism and antisemitism. The Nazis behind "White Awesomeness Month" are going to defend a Tesla dealership with guns.

Mastodon has, in addition to an awful name, virtually zero redeeming qualities. “Hey would you like to use a confusing app that takes forever to get dialed in and your data could just one day not exist anymore?” Yeah no I’m good.

Corey Quinn@quinnypig.com

Apparently the Mastodon server I was using stopped existing so that's my entire account gone now. That's not a great experience.

Idk who needs to hear this but In the year of our lord 2025, you do not need to use Google as your only search engine. Bing or Duckduckgo are equally viable and I'd consider switching because if nothing else, no one company deserves to control internet search.
