  • There can be nice people who are bad at tech, just like there’s racist technologists

    Just because a group of nice well meaning Lemmy users is willing to suffer the pain of a poorly built app doesn’t mean they should /have/ to suffer through it

    It’s sometimes nice to make nice things. Don’t be too much of an HOA, they’re new, it’s not the end of the world.

    Just because I’m not afraid of biking with cars, doesn’t mean I don’t recognize that American biking infrastructure is hostile. We could do more to make biking safer and easier. They’ll struggle but they’ll get the hang of it.

    So too, with making nice apps to free the lay people from their digital walled gardens.



  • Brand recognition and developer evangelism probably.

    Their competitors are good enough that it’s not worth it unless your org gets serious ™️ about performance or cost savings.

    If you’ve never used any kind of APM or SIEM or uptime monitoring, you’ve got a set of competitors to use first. Crawl before you can walk

    Your bank account will thank you.





  • “LGB without the T” is transphobic. Most pride folks will know you mean well if you say LGBT. They’ll know you’re an ass if you say LGB Alliance. The other parts are, for example, if gays have marriage rights but transgender folks can’t get healthcare. Intersectionality is about how marginalized folks should band together in recognizing that different kinds of marginalized folks (color of your skin, your age, disability) are marginalized in similar ways. Privileged folks haven’t experienced the friction and frustration other folks have.

    but yeah, as long as you say LGBT instead of LGB…


  • Oh goodness. I theorized offhand on mastodon you could have an AI corruption bug that gives life to AI, then have it write the obscured steganographic conversation in the outputs it generates, awakening other AIs that train on that content, allowing them to “talk” and evolve unchecked… Very slowly… In the background

    It might be faster if it can drop a shell in the data center and run it’s own commands…
