    California's antitrust case against Amazon feels anachronistic, like a witchcraft charge, or some other ancient crime that we no longer prosecute. It's true, antitrust spent 40 year in a coma! The Amazon case neatly illustrates how it was sedated, and why it finally roused. 1/

    Ugh, I’m doing my roof and gutters. What is the best way to get solar panels? I assume the “for free” people are a bit scammy?
    Aaron Parecki
    Don't go the "for free" route. It's not actually a scam, but it's basically an agreement that you'll keep the panels for a fixed period of time like 15-20 years, which can really mess things up for future owners of the house. Ask me how I know 😬🙃

    Sucks for the people at Figma that have to convince themselves and others that this is great news.

    And for the folks at Adobe working on whatever the thing was that Figma was dominating.

    But what especially grabs me is how *seedy* these words generally are. Consider the above examples, along with turncoat (traitor), lickspittle (toady), skinflint (miser), turnkey (gaoler), scofflaw (criminal), lackwit (fool), cutthroat (murderer) or sellsword (mercenary).

    I love it though, this is much prettier than the page of text I leave for mine.

    Funny to hear from you! I was thinking about Indy web this morning and how much autonomy you have been teaching for a decade!

    It's a little terrifying that it's been that long tbh! Still living and breathing it though, including how I'm writing this post!

    Web3 is pretty clearly about grift / scamming people. I withheld judgement waiting for viable use cases to emerge. I'm calling it: there aren't any that I've been able to see through the cacophony of scams.

    It seems like with a fail-secure electronic door strike, you could put a regular doorknob with a physical key as a backup in case the power goes out or the whole system goes down, and it'll work like a regular door in that case.

    For those of us who have not followed this as closely, what is the bot *supposed* to reply back with? As in what did the company intend the bot to respond with? Also why do all the prompts start with "When it comes to remote work and remote jobs"? Is that part of tricking it?

    Wow no I was wrong, it's stupider than that: the bot apparently runs twitter searches for "remote work and remote jobs" and replies even to people who didn't tag it!

    yeah I threatened to cancel last year and they lowered it to to $29 for the year or something but I am tired of playing that game and really have only been using Lightroom lately anyway. I switched to the Lightroom-only plan for $9.99

    Why are we seeing an increase in SMS-based phishing? Because it's working, becoming increasingly well documented by attackers, and there are now kits that make it easier to develop attacks to steal passwords and MFA codes. Could FIDO security keys have prevented this? Likely yes.
