If your application forces me to either utilize a feature I don’t want to use, or to look at a perpetual notification badge, your application is discriminatory and inaccessible. Period.

uncomfortable truth: Elon Musk isn’t an edge case.

he’s the worm-ridden produce of a rotting orchard, fertilized by a pervasive belief among the tech elite that they're above the rules that govern the rest of us, that the pixie dust swirling around their "innovations" means they can treat legislators like pests, competitors like roadkill, and users like livestock - just interchangeable resource nodes to be prodded, milked and slaughtered.

omg the'ir just like me

Excerpt from the blog post “Falsehoods programmers believe about True Names”:

* All True Names can be represented in UTF-8

* All True Names can be represented in UTF-16

* Identical twins share the same True Name

* True Names can be safely stored in databases using encryption

* True Names can be safely stored in databases

* True Names can be safely stored

* A bcrypt hash of a True Name cannot be used to construct an effective pain effigy (often incorrectly known as a “voodoo doll”)

oh and mind u - WTP connects all major museums via special lines (that only run retro stock) that u can take for free it is so good

The museum night was really cool and I didn't even manage to capture half of the amazing shit there. Having all branches of WTP host free events and competitions whilst showing off their literal museum stock on active tracks was so cool. Additionally literally every small art gallery could apply to participate and get posters and everything whilst big venues did special events.

I'm really looking forward to next year and will plan a proper route this time

Have some pictures from the Warsaw museum night public transport (Nikon D7000, 28-80mm zoom)

@TechConnectify This was the article that convinced me that I was sleeping on the value of video and YouTube specifically. And in retrospect I can’t imagine how I ever thought I would rather try to learn how to adjust a door closer (or change a car tire, or do a judo throw, or any of a thousand other things I could learn on YouTube every day) by reading an article

https://commoncog.com/youtube-learn-tacit-knowledge/

So next time someone shares a YouTube video with you and you want to be a stick in the mud about that, remember that everyone has their own paths to knowledge *and* their own way to spread knowledge.

"this could have been an article"

Yeah it could be, and in fact it is! Anyone could look up door closers on Wikipedia and get the gist of my video's information.

But many millions of people don't even know they're called door closers. Hell, I didn't! Not until I needed to install one.

Ya know what? I'm gonna toot my own horn today On Here Specifically.

I have already received at least a dozen thankful comments/replies for letting people know they can slow down door closers. A lot of people have been living with irritating bangs in apartment buildings and whatnot.

And thanks to watching a YouTube video, their life is now better. I didn't sell anything to them, I just decided to share some knowledge in my own (hopefully entertaining) way.
