The shame about mass consumer art in the age of digital and trivial global supply chains is that limited physical editions are just a sales and marketing choice rather than function of actual human effort

I give up; turned off retweets; I'm tired of those moments of scrolling through the noise of compulsive retweets and the "are you sure you haven't seen the thing I posted 5 hours ago?"

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

Can dev docs websites please stop using Aloglia for their search? It rarely delivers on search results that are even relevant, let alone exact with not even a way to stop searching for "similar strings" Every time I hit it, I just have to go to google with `site:example.com some query` 🫥

A lot of the time people talk about the Internet Explorer or the modern web. Most will proclaim Firefox or Safari as such. But I'd argue that Chrome **is** the modern IE 🧵1/4

Redis the company is so cringe! Went to get their GUI tool to explore an instance in dev. They demand a "work email" and will sign you up to a newsletter without consent So they exclude anyone without a custom domain and break GDPR

Had my first "viral" post here, I've had the bittersweet of learning the benefit of good feature: Blocking people "disappear" them from that conversation. It's liable to a power trip, but being able to disappear that blatant rage bait and avoid endless baited replies to a troll is kinda rewarding.

Hey any #dataviz people have suggestions for how to make quick and dirty data visualisations? I've used Observable in the past, but as software dev by trade the platform made some painful choices for me. I won't be using Jupyter though
