  • Systems before Tools

    by

    I always say that a good system/process is far better than whatever tool is “hot” in your industry. It would seem that CJ Chilvers agrees with me. He says that you shouldn’t believe in goals, you should believe in process. Stick to the process day in day out, and the goals will keep coming closer.

  • I agree with this take on Facebook and Federation

    by

    Measured reasonable take from Fosstodon. I’d look at Facebook joining the Fediverse as a person having 2 strikes against them. The slightest misstep and they’re gone. Like the OP, I hate Facebook. I also try to avoid it at all costs.

    Note You’ll notice no links to Reddit this week because the Reddit CEO seems to be trash. You’ll also notice I haven’t linked to Twitter in a while for similar reasons. I’m not sure if the Reddit ban here will stand, but this week at least I’m standing in solidarity with the Reddits that did

  • Tech CEO’s are Hallucinating

    by

    And as those of us who are not currently tripping well understand, our current system is nothing like that. Rather, it is built to maximize the extraction of wealth and profit – from both humans and the natural world – a reality that has brought us to what we might think of it as capitalism’s

  • Greg – Apple’s Vision of the Apocalypse

    by

    I’m with Greg in thinking that Vision Pro is fairly dystopian. The only use I could see is as instead of a multi-monitor setup, but then $3499 USD for a “companion” to your $2k computer???? WTF!!! That seems crazy. I hope to never see this on the faces of the people around me. I already

  • Ben Brooks – We’ve lost our outrage

    by
