Scripting News: Monday, February 17, 2025
If I were in charge of marketing for the Democrats: 1. I'd restart the online channel that Kamala Harris had that was shut down on Election Day. 2. I'd get out the message over and over about how things are going too fast, we need to slow it down, so we can consider what's happening. Who? The people. I know this will resonate with almost everyone in the US, no matter who they voted for. Stop I want to know how these changes will help or hurt me, my family, community. For Trump voters, it was fun to make my statement, but I'm afraid this is going too far. I think we can all relate to that. We aren't being represented here. #
I asked Google Gemini to visualize what it feels like to be watching what's happening in the US from inside the US. This came close to capturing it, but it could have expressed the fear of it more clearly. Slow down, please, let us figure out what you're doing. #
A simple idea, a quid pro quo.#
If we want Democrats to support the Constitution, we have to demonstrate that we will support them. #
We are the government of the US, Congress represents us. #
We have been too passive. #
But then, they have to include us in governing. #
No more shutting off the connection after the election.#
Seems like a fair deal.#
One of the not-good things about Mastodon is that you can't moderate comments under your own posts. #
If someone says something abusive, it's there for everyone to see, forever.#
I've come to value the feature in Facebook that gives the author full discretion over what comments remain, to head off bad vibes. #
I think of a post I write as my house, and I want people who visit to feel respected.#
A turd in the middle of the living room is not respectful. #

I've been a developer for over 50 years, so my experience predates AI by a lot, and this guy is wrong. I get much more complete answers from AI than I got from StackExchange, and thus write better software. You could always be a shitty developer, but now it's easier to be excellent. nmn.gl
