Just published the first public beta of @MarsEdit 5! No time to write extensive release notes yet, so only the adventurous need install. Key features include Markdown syntax highlighting and a dedicated “Micropost” panel for short-form blogging! redsweater.com/blog/3946/mar…

People who need IT support from their children every Thanksgiving because they can't print anymore keep asking why Twitter won't just keep running with no employees.

People are starting to say Elon Musk isn't actually a real engineer. But he definitely said "I don't know why people think Twitter is so complicated. I could fix it in like a weekend." And then proceeded to fuck everything up. That's exactly like an engineer.

At times like these, I have learned to expect a spike in the number of people who try Micro.blog.
I was unprepared for the huge interest in interoperability between M.b and Mastodon. Thanks to ActivityPub, you can follow Mastodon user from Micro.blog.

Giant baubles have bounced down the streets of London, disrupting traffic before causing a glittery explosion.
High winds swept up the baubles that were part of an art installation by Tom Shannon, supposed to be on display in London's St Giles' Square until Friday.

saw ted chiang give a talk yesterday where he basically told a bunch of ai bros, "we are nowhere near having real ai, and what we call ai today is just a tool of capitalism. i don't fear ai, i fear capitalism" and the ai bros got their feelings hurt. it was great.

Read this entire thread. This is not “neutral technology” because there is no such thing.
Last Friday, CBS cancelled a segment about our clients suing Amazon for selling suicide kits to their now deceased kids. CBS’ cowardice gave me renewed clarity about how urgent this litigation is. 🧵@naomi_leeds 1/

I spent 4 hours updating my (perfectly working) app so Apple wouldn't remove it simply because I haven't updated it in a while 📱😡😩 then I spent another 5 hours writing about how this policy is lazy and developer-hostile

This is an EPIC update to @FastScripts especially for power scripters who I'm sure will figure out amazing ways to leverage the new parameterized scripts.
Just posted @FastScripts 3.2 with incredible new features for customizing script collections, running scripts with parameters, and improved search results. redsweater.com/blog/3912/fas…
