Emaux @emauxstylo.bsky.social · 11hThe thing I find interesting about X now, and I recognise this is less important than the evil, is that it now runs overwhelmingly on the logic of content mill sites from ten years ago. A frankly astonishing number of posts are innocuous screenshots with a caption like "wow, I didn't notice." 100
Emaux @emauxstylo.bsky.social · 11hSo I work in web dev and one of the craziest things is just how hard it is to convince people that you can, in fact, just make your own website, mostly for free, and send people the address for them to bookmark. What has been lost is not technical, but the feeling of permission. 0176
Emaux @emauxstylo.bsky.social · 11hAlso, at the risk of speaking lefty heresy, the original Nazi Bar post itself is clearly a made up story whose main purpose is sounding cool. 000

Emaux @emauxstylo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The reason people hate paywalls isn't because they hate paying for things, it's because spreading a hyperlink that purportedly leads to one thing, but actually leads you to a store breaks the social contract the internet works on. 001

Emaux @emauxstylo.bsky.social · 16/09/2026The big problem with the public's understanding of LLMs, I think, is actually that they don't understand why ordinary computers running ordinary software is good. Partly this is because the rise of the GUI has concealed what computers do, and inverted the user relationship. 100

Emaux @emauxstylo.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I love thinking about if accidental effects of biology weren't true. For example, how different would human society be if the frame rate of film had to be 300fps before we perceived motion? Or if our eyes needed 8k resolution before pixels resolved into an image? 110

Emaux @emauxstylo.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Hot take. This time of poor social cohesion and populism isn't because of what the internet does, but what it doesn't do. Over the 19th and 20th centuries we built up the modern world of communications, social support, media, education etc. Replaced key parts of it with the internet in the 21st... 121
Emaux @emauxstylo.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Since I got into discovering old 8-but computers (slightly before my time, I was an Acorn Archimedes child) the most incredible discovery for me is the user port.

Emaux @emauxstylo.bsky.social · 26/06/2026The basic problem with people who strongly identify as political moderates is that it’s almost impossible to get them to commit to even moderate action on huge problems, because admitting there is a huge problem *feels* politically immoderate. 000

And I think for now that is good and fine, because it is restoring people’s faith that better is possible. 789201535

Reposted by EmauxStephen Bush @stephenkb.bsky.social · 25/06/2026I don’t think this was the moment where it became inevitable that Starmer would flame out after two years, but I do think it was the clearest illustration that he was terminally prone to panic and unable to grasp “the mayor is doing a difficult thing years before his re-election is due”. 25784128

Emaux @emauxstylo.bsky.social · 22/06/2026I think the “how do we know Burnham will do any better” discourse is missing the point somewhat. Labour ousting a sitting PM two years after winning a general is almost unthinkable, and has only one plausible explanation. Every bit of polling they have says they’ve lost the general already. 110
Emaux @emauxstylo.bsky.social · 22/06/2026I think this take is wrong too. The public turned on Starmer for a fairly clear reason. After voting for the Tories for 14 years on the rationale that we needed to tighten our belts, people finally felt too squeezed, and then Starmer came out if the gate with more belt tightening. 100
Emaux @emauxstylo.bsky.social · 22/06/2026I’ve thought about Starmer a lot, because I think his tenure was one of serious moral failings, but I also don’t actually agree with the Owen Jones style, completely amoral, never had any scruples, believes in nothing assessment either. 100
Emaux @emauxstylo.bsky.social · 22/06/2026It’s very odd to see Starmer go because he‘s been going for so long now. Unlike Boris where it was clear he should go, but you could never really feel confident he’d been pinned down, this doesn’t even feel inevitable. It feels past tense. 000

Emaux @emauxstylo.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Possibly controversial opinion? People don’t dislike paywalls because they won‘t pay for content, it’s because following and link and then getting hit with a paywall violates the social contract the internet works on. 110
