Resist. Staff SRE @Glitch (now a part of Fastly) Opinions my own, and usually wrong.
About a half-hour ago I deployed the change that stopped traffic to Glitch projects. A major chapter of my life (and a small-but-cool part of the geography of the internet) closes.
The administration of "I bet I'm smart enough to do that job with zero background or training."
If you’re a Wisconsin voter, you have the chance to strike a blow against Musk’s Department of Greed and Evil by voting to keep the WI Supreme Court in control of justices concerned with the rule of law and justice for the underrepresented. A vote for Crawford is a vote for fairness and equality.
I usually give Gruber the benefit of the doubt when he spouts technical nonsense like this but my man doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about here.
Finished Netflix’s No Good Deed last night. Enjoyable but not as good as maybe it could have been (pretty typical of Lisa Kudrow’s post-Friends stuff, I think). Best line from the series is in the last episode: Him: “I love you.” Her: “Thanks.”
When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
I've reached the point in my life where I pick the tool for a specific household task not based on appropriateness to desired outcome, or even necessarily convenience, but instead based on how much relative pain it will cause me.
I wonder what the DevRel Marketing value of a brand's presence in a popular project's "Trusted By" section is?
Didn’t “celebrate” on the day this year, and almost forgot to recognize it at all in 2024. Maybe it’s time to stop counting?
Almost never isn't an exaggeration, the proportion of folk in positions of significant power who didn't get there through privilege is tiny, an anomaly
I mean seriously those little fuckers are going to kill me.
cori drones on@cori-drones-on.bsky.social · 2y agoWhoever decided I should pick up a hobby where keeping track of little pieces of plastic the size of my pinkie nail is a core reality? **That** guy should be taken to the woodshed and … severely chastised.
The fact that I can send an email to support@yourfuckedupcompany.com does **not** mean that you offer 24/7 support. Someone needs to actually be on the other end 24/7 for that to be true.
God, I love libraries. Do you know that NYPL has an entire database of menus of major hotels/restaurants in the city organized by decade? menus.nypl.org Historical fiction writers, this is just...amazing.

I love it, we're deep into the new @glitch.com being built right in front of everybody's eyes, and the community has tons of good ideas. Jump in now, the latest conversation is about what you'd want to see on your dashboard. support.glitch.com/t/brainstorm...

Seriously? Visa spent $10 advertising on Xitter? That's ... not even a rounding error. That's, like, the mailroom clerk's intern's intern's per diem.

Typing several paragraphs of commentary on my doctor's clinic's ridiculously asinine bill pay platform. "Feedback is a gift." "Feedback is a gift." ...
I sure am glad *someone* reads these. This is truly ... well, "evil" is probably overdramatic. Unacceptable, surely, particularly to companies with proprietary information to control (like, um, pretty much *all* of them?)
Zuckerberg ought to take his half of whatever proceeds there are from the inane and infantile cage match and donate it all to a charity that supports trans youth.
Ironically, the TSA at EWR could not scan my brand new “Real” ID. Tried a couple of machines and finally a supervisor asked to see a credit card with my name. Good thing I’m not unbanked. And also, WTF?
This is the promise of Glitch to help rebuild the internet!
What would the internet of people look like now?
Something weird is happening online.
