If you want things to change at tech companies, when you write about their abuses don't write to whip up the public. Write to the employees, give us ammunition to hold our leaders accountable.

Hello, friends! I am on mastodon full time now… the community’s spirit of rebirth has been good for my tired, jaded heart. There are more thoughtful builder type people than lowest emotional denominator attention hijacker types. Innovative client apps. Server outages. :)

Ruh roh (at least in SF): asymptomatic test positivity rate @ucsfhospitals now 5% (was ~2% last month). While not a perfect sample, implies that ~1 in 20 people in SF who feels well would test pos. for Covid. In a crowd of 10: 40% odds ≥ one is pos. Airplane w/ 150: 99.9% odds.

If a human said "poop" & the AI "empathy," human judges would find the human 78% of the time. But AI does not buy this.
The moral of the story is that yelling 💩 makes us human? 4/

My hard to quantify, “last leg of the relay race” team started a similar project this half (led by @ChenelleB) to track how we contribute to the success of games we launch. Seeing the same approach here gives me hope that we’ll learn more about what moves the needle.

Our work is at its best when it equips people with the information they need to make change.
But how do we know if we’re doing that? We’re sharing a database we adapted from @resolvephilly. We hope this guide can be helpful for other newsrooms. themarkup.org/levelup/2022/1…

Am I no longer an early adopter archetype? No, it’s the products that are wrong!

Ehh, it meets modern expectations for a first gen product: demonstrates something new but doesn’t take full advantage, works mostly fine, expensive for the actual value provided

Playing with the new kindle scribe, the pen on paper feel is very very good. Unfortunately, every other part of the pen experience is underwhelming.

As you might imagine, being able to run a job on a server does a lot of cool things. It can also do a lot of bad things if it uses too many resources.
Your local SRE/whoever is going to build a system to put some guardrails around this.
