All of a sudden my posts on Mastodon are getting liked and forwarded a lot more than on the other platforms. At a loss to understand what changed? Hmm.


nostr:npub1qe5xp836kyz7ymzqe5wy09fzky6z03srv7htgh3ptn4dqmesz94s7z8ugl — I know all about it. The article headline is misleading btw.


nostr:npub1qe5xp836kyz7ymzqe5wy09fzky6z03srv7htgh3ptn4dqmesz94s7z8ugl — he happens to be right, no one clicks links, longform posts work. That’s why I was begging Twitter to to get rid of the character limit for years.


Okay the problem with trump being speaker is they probably won’t have the votes, given that Repubs won quite a few seats in democratic districts, and those people probably want to try to be re-elected. So wtf go ahead and try, another loss for trump. He will say it was rigged and we can have a good laugh. 😀


Obviously they’re all going to go to trump to get his blessing and in the end he will decide to appoint himself speaker and the press will melt down in orgasmic ecstasy.


Kevin McCarthy is an ass.


They’re going to make trump the next speaker.


Was hoping to hear how the house Repubs threw trump under the bus, but they don’t seem to get it on cnn and msnbc?


In 2007, the year after twitter launched, on what makes a blog a blog. An interesting read 16 years later.

How much news should $100 per month buy?

i don't see the point in making generalizations based on gender. that's an instant argument right there. ;-)

then write a blog post. give people the option to read or not.

yet you replied


A little advice about social media from someone who has been on social media since it has existed. You don’t have to argue. When someone wants to argue with you, you should block them. There is no good outcome possible from arguing on social media.

you know if you were attacking any other gender, age or race you would be begging not to be cancelled. i think more than admitting that i have a point you should apologize. at a minimum.


social networks like twitter and masto were a bad idea.

that was a sarcastic link. i thought the hashtag was pretty clear. apparently some people are too whatever to give someone the benefit of the doubt before getting personal which sucks.

it's remarkable how casually people brag about their ageism. you should be ashamed.

Tried it, didn’t do anything.

I find their new stuff never works for me.

Lucky I’m very happy with the basic product.


I have hiccups.

OG blogger, podcaster, developed first apps in many categories. Old enough to know better. It's even worse than it appears.


NEXT TIME WE HAVE A DAY OF RAGE ON THE INTERNET, INSTEAD OF CHANGING OUR ICONS, OR PUTTING NEAT SLOGANS ON OUR HOME PAGES, INSTEAD LET'S EVERYONE EXPRESS OUR FEELINGS BY TYPING IN UPPERCASE. THAT'LL GET THEIR ATTENTION, WHOEVER THEY ARE.
IT'LL BE AWESOME.


Sounds like this is the root of the missing referer headers.

nostr:npub1z0t580awe5ef8sk2qp5ps8w87kgpmjswsc8xf7dkfrtuu2dn5ygqa9wj4p -- i don't know


nostr:npub1pc7rrsl0p4gvtshg393566ajt4nt5l3wm458a7pctqnv6n75twvs8fr46d -- has anyone written anything about this?


It seems like HTTP requests these days, generally, don't come with a referer header? It's a shame in a way because if something you wrote is getting a lot of hits you can't tell where they're coming from.


They don't try to report news on NPR. Bending over backwards to treat Republican mockery of legislative processes as legit. I'm sure when they talk about the events they cover privately they tell each other the truth. But not to their listeners. Why bother.


AI is the revenge of the command line.

nostr:npub15k8s9949wg3ywdy45rptj6phwfhn6g7e4tmzyyvdy44xk9ugz9psnhlsu7 -- not ten years, it's already a lot deeper than wikipedia. it can't get basic facts right, due to its process.


I asked ChatGPT to explain how OPML is used for lists of feeds. I was blown away by what it came back with. I literally said "holy fuck" out loud on every single bullet point.

Google is worse than a monopolist. They deliberately destroy technology because it’s too empowering for users. Not talking about dominating, destroying.

Matt, my friend -- it's not petty, it's the open web winning. In podcasting we won, by setting the pattern early-on. People expect choice in how they listen, and reject gate-keepers. It's a genetic seed, and once it takes hold it's impossible to overcome. This is what podcasting is teaching us.
