@aaronpk with regards to the YouTube Chat Overlay plugin. Is there any possible way to get greater customization?

I was hoping to potentially mod the animation, style and graphics at a future date potentially.

Like being able to use After Effects with some HTML, CSS, and JS

I'm not planning on adding a UI to customize things that much, but the whole thing is open source and you can dig into the CSS yourself! There's instructions here for how to load your copy of it outside the Chrome store.

I'm going to be clear: I never saw - or imagined to see - a tech company *deliberately* creating such a toxic culture.

This is coming from someone who worked at Uber during intense times. But we did not have random firings, a sense of zero job security, or comparable madness.

The fact that dudes go on a diet but they call it "biohacking" is so funny to me.

Like if men started knitting they would call it "hyper threading" or "powertangling" or some shit

I'm not pointing any fingers, but I've seen a dramatic increase in bots and bot spam under my tweets over the past month.

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!

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.

Hey, so, don't tell anyone, but I'm announcing PalmPilot emulation at Internet Archive for the holidays, probably next week. All the currently-working items need descriptions, so it's not quite ready. Don't tell anybody, OK?

Everyone should start blogging again. Own your own site. Visit all your friends' sites. Bring back the artisan, hand-crafted Web. Sure, it's a little more work, but it's worth it. You don't even need to stop using social media! It's a "yes, and" situation, not a "no, but" one.

I’m sure they’ve ran the numbers. Assuming they’re negligible because…
- apple buyers are “determined” (unlikely to churn)
- buyers in these windows are more likely to be waiting for sale to drop
- the “FOMO” of the store being down makes the revival stronger
