Scripting News: Sunday, October 20, 2024
Some of us do most of our writing on desktop computers. I guess we're in a very small minority. We can use a much better twitter-like system than the people who use mobile devices to tweet. I'm one of the desktop people. So I want textcasting. Mobile people either don't care or don't want it. So it stands to reason we need a different user interface. We can use the same network, we just need a different UI for editing. Since the twitter-like systems already carry links to stories written by people on desktops, there's room in their pipes for our writing too. And it can work more efficiently if the stories are part of the message as opposed to living off-site. Think of it as a web of writing. A writer's web that also carries short messages. #I did a podcast this morning about the reality of Musk owning Twitter, which is now completely settling in. He might have enough influence on the election to push Trump over. He wins even if Trump loses, he gets a moon mission project to boot up a Musk Party. It's coming for sure, either way. Probably will pick up what's left over after Trump, who clearly is losing it, and even if he's president, someone else will be pulling the strings. I can't imagine the billionaire will let JD Vance do it. And by "billionaire" I mean Musk.#
A second elimination game for the Mets tonight. I almost don't want the Mets to win, because the World Series opponent from the "other" league are the Janks from the Bronx. I love the Bronx. That's about all I have to say about that at this time. #

Paul Frazee thread where he explains Blue Sky's philosophy of formats and user data. Illuminating. He says in one msg that they could have used HTTP and RSS. I wish they had. Could've saved a lot of time and confusion. They still should do it. Huge potential adoption with devs. bsky.app

I asked meta.ai when the .io tld was going to disappear. It said basically never. I figured. I had read an article that seemed to imply its disappearance was imminent, but didn't say when. meta.ai
The press has no power over Trump, he went around them going directly to the people through Twitter. Musk observed this, bought Twitter, for which his ROI will be huge. The Dems ignored this, and played the political game as if Twitter never happened. For Trump it was an accident, but not for Musk, he knew exactly what he was doing. bostonglobe.com
