The surveillance factor of LinkedIn is exactly what keeps me entirely off of it... I don't think I've ever gotten a job by using it, it's more like a spare online copy of my resume more than anything else... It also keeps try

At one point earlier in my career (during the early 2000s), they flew me to Chicago, picked me up in a limo and gave me a tour of the office... I knew I didn't want to relocate (from the East Coast) and remote work wasn't an optio

The same things are happening on Android too, no coincidence.

The jargon is getting more & more obtuse every year... Also, a major feature of "vibe coding" now is the rough edges on UI design that don't make sense at all... It's pretty obvious that code bases aren't evolvi

McDonalds and Taco Bell tried to get rid of their "soft skills" (AKA customer service} and look how they're doing right now... Endless stores that all look & feel the same -- uncomfortable seats, no happy families around

If you read into Web.Com, yes, they are quickly becoming a monopoly on host companies. They do not disclose many of the hosting companies they now own. If you can find a company that allows clients to install Let's Encrypt Certs on sha

I'd be happy to hear about a traditional hosting company that allows clients to install lets Encrypt certs if you can name any... Most of my clients don't have budgets big enough for cloud hosting.

Twitter has been toast for quite some time now, well before the Elon effect... I think pretty much every social platform has transitioned into the same "edgelordy-ness" we dealt with on smaller community forums & IRC back in t

An Ai robot named BTC will hit an Ai robot named $1m on Battle Bots perhaps... Totally plausible.

My advice... Take a time machine back to 2009-2012 & only invest %100. Otherwise it's too late.

Many host providers (Those acquired by companies like Web.Com, allegedly) disable all ability to use outside certs since Google made encryption a requirement in Chrome Browser... They do things like blocking containers & SSH to make ins

A lot of tools & companies created in the .Com era were copied, consumed, & bought by companies under the table... The eras were indeed different in many ways, but the way the "hype machine" was wound up late in the game (

As someone who's been on TikTok for years now, it's extremely fake, the algorithm is a total ruse, as most of what trends is based on seeing news stories repeated hundreds of times, and most other content has the same repetitive m

We simply wouldn't need as much bandwidth if storage on devices was improved on devices and we went back to a model of collecting our entertainment as data files. These files could be shipped on memory stick & SD cards. All streami

It's quite obvious the CEO being paid reportedly around $300m a year is pocketing money that indie artists generate for the site. Most of these tech sites aren't really interested in delivering value into the communities they serv

The same schemes for account promotions likely come from insiders too. As far as I've observed, the messages I get on pretty much every platform are too well organized to be outsiders, some even make it through spam filters. I'm s

The ads and background data alone takes extreme advantage of users that have low data caps. There is no way that users should be arbitrarilly metered in an age where content is forced down our throats with no choice over it all. They either

All of these workarounds are temporary & flimsy --- They will not last long and will certainly not get better, as the rules put in place as well as the tech behind ad delivery are rapidly and constantly changing. We as users & consu

I use Drupal... Although they issue way too many security & functional updates each year, it's been conveniently 100x less expensive to maintain than microservice architecture apps, and it's open source/PHP as a bonus.

Also never forget how they constantly sunset microservices in order to make everyone scramble to refactor into the new (more expensive of course) microservice under a different name... ugh...
