Does anyone talk tech on here? Seems like all the tech people I followed on Twitter came here to talk politics and current events.

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

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.

Some lyrics that are apropos for the times we’re in
Screenshot of Apple Music lyrics for the song Back to Back by the Chariot from their album The Fiancé. 

The lyrics read: 

this is the last chance you get (open wide),
We both know we’re both gonna die,
There’s a difference with you and I,
You want peace but refuse the fight,
So shake hands with change tonight

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.

Don’t Let Tech Drain the Life Out of Living
The best parts of life are messy. They refuse to follow scripts. They defy prediction. They explode past the dull constraints of data. And Silicon Valley is a doomsday cult that keeps clawing at them, stripping away the raw, unpredictable joy of the human experience and replacing it with something
