@gme @crschmidt @tw @cshabsin @jefftk I will likely regret wading in here but this is a rather bizarre thread. Spec or not, it’s poor design. It’s irresponsible. It’s messy. It’s resource intensive. To say “put a CDN on it” doesn’t change the waste - it hides the bug/implementation and shifts the responsibility. @jwz and friends are correct to bring attention to it. Don’t bury it. Fix it. @Gargron

I will also likely regret wading in on this, but:

1: Using robots.txt requires also fetching robots.txt first, so that only marginally reduces the total number of requests.

2: Caching and CDNs are already a well-established pattern on the web, and necessary for a lot of things that have nothing to do with Mastodon/fediverse. Solving that problem other ways will likely create new problems, so at least that falls back on existing solutions that are known to work.

🔴 LIVE Q&A! My Cyber Monday picks, and setting up my new ATEM Constellation 4M/E!

Black Friday might be over, but Cyber Monday is just around the corner! I've got a handful of new gear, services, and some great discounts to share! We also have a new PK1 desktop stand for the YoloBox Pro! Let's check out what's different about this one, and the PK1 stands are still 30% off, so make sure you stick around for the discount code.

If you are rethinking your approach to publishing yourself, it should be towards a domain name you own even if it's hosted on a managed service.

CREATORS: If you're still getting bot spammers and scammers in your YouTube comments, I put together a Google Doc that lists all the keywords, phrases, and emojis they've used.

Since then, I have yet to have any bots get through. I hope this helps!

I finally got around to reading @timbray 's "Bye, Twitter" blog post that everyone's rightfully sharing, and the last paragraph of this section resonated.

Getting a plane to Europe tomorrow. I have full seasons of a half-dozen shows, a Retroid with retro games, a Nintendo Switch, and work and email to do. I will likely do none of it and simply fall asleep. I do this EVERY time and I NEVER learn.

haha same 😅 I have done this so many times

Just searched the App Store for my own app by name and the app appeared nowhere in the results. Thanks Apple.

I keep telling people about the apps "Shoot" and "LiveApp" which are basically impossible to search for in the app store 😅

Here's my newest Salon article, about the FTX debacle and the longtermist ideology behind it. There are several crucial points that the media has consistently missed. A short 🧵 in hopes of rectifying this problem.

Baby boomers did a pretty good job teaching their millennial daughters that they could be anything they wanted to be and a pretty terrible job of preparing their sons for what that would mean for them as husbands and fathers

Apparently, it’s rude to poke someone in the forehead and say, “skip intro,” when they start talking to you.
