The United States is Russia's 51st state, sad to say. Let's get it back for the people of the United States. We don't like Putin. Sorry.#
Before our media was gradually taken over by Russia, they did it to Ukraine, but they managed to dig their way out, had a democratic election, resulting in their current government. So it's not impossible to dig your way out. But you have to stop insisting that Hitler be allowed to speak.#
The Fediverse is impossible to use even for people who understand what it's trying to do, and most people have no idea. The answer: Stop trying to reinvent Twitter. It wasn't a great idea! And figure out what really works in a decentralized system. It requires some serious brain work.#
I've been getting my exercise outdoors mostly, but then when the weather got bad for a bit, too bad to walk outdoors, I took up the Peloton again. I was really out of shape for that. So I started riding every third day or so. And then without any warning I just passed my 600th ride. Not too bad! :-)#

Reading this story about the deportation of Ukrainian refugees from the US, I hear in clear terms we are no longer a democratic country, no longer have a representative government. We're not just supporting Russia we are Russia, its 51st state. Very weird and unacceptable. lawfaremedia.org
ActivityPub is not going to rock the world. Emulating Twitter is not how to do decentralization. Every decision made in the design of Twitter was based on being centralized. It's going to require more brain work to crack this. WTF Markoff. nytimes.com

It's here! Learn to write better composables in Vue with my latest course. You can now grab Composable Design Patterns for 35% off during the launch . ​ Check it out here . Composable Design Patterns is a collection of patterns to help you write better composables in Vue. The format is very similar to Clean Components Toolkit: Pattern overview — an in-depth explanation of the pattern, including edge cases, variations, and common pitfalls. Real-world example — an example using the pattern that goes beyond toy demos that don't really show you much. Step-by-step refactoring — see how to use this pattern by following a refactoring example worked out for you. The first three patterns are borrowed from Clean Components Toolkit, but the rest are completely brand-new, and exclusive to this course. ​ (the last two patterns will be finished next week). Here's the link again if you'd like to know more: ​ Composable Design Patterns in Vue ​ ...

Tuesday, February 20, 2024 Journalists like everyone in America should pray President Biden stays healthy, because our only alternative is Putin. And btw in Russia, the non-government-owned news people had to leave, to go into exile. The journalists are playing with fire not just for us, but for themselves too. It's not ridiculous to ring the bells really loud about this because we've already lived through this nightmare once. # Surely there must be people inside the NYT that find this as exhausting as we do. How can we set up a receptacle for leaks from inside the NYT and WP so we can get the truth about who's selling us out to Trump and Putin inside those supposedly great public-serving news orgs? # I don't like Twitter/X -- it's stupid, it already had a perfectly good name. It is what it is. I use Twitter, I don't imagine stopping, certainly not as some kind of demonstration. But it isn't X or Twitter/X. It's just stupid old fucke...
