I haven’t tuned into CBS since its morning news promoted that interview (and Weiss) last week. This latest announcement validates my decision.

CBS News launches town hall series featuring JD Vance following Bari Weiss’ ratings flop
Following the Bari Weiss-moderated sitdown with Erika Kirk that was a massive ratings flop, CBS News has doubled down on the format and is launching a new town hall series in partnership with Weiss’ “anti-woke” digital media outlet that the network’s parent company recently purchased.

These AWS & Cloudflare mega-outages are honestly embarrassing as an industry. Eugh. What are we doing???
We have so many tools & processes for ensuring reliability, but somehow two vendors can each single-handledly wipe everything out anytime.

Update: Phanpy is NOT supporting the official Mastodon quoted posts at the moment. They are still using their own implementation, means quotes are only shown in Phanpy and for example when using Moshidon as a client.

a feature that i wish was built into mastodon from the start & hope it eventually comes to heads.social. feel like being able to communicate only with people on your local server is one of the missing pieces in actually making local servers work. (i'd certainly be more apt to live-toot live shows/streams if i knew the readers were specifically the heads server.)

Attached: 1 image A reminder: today is the Trans Day of Remembrance. For those unfamiliar, this is when we remember trans people who were killed by acts of violence. On a day like this, and in the current broader crisis as well: it can be hard to remember that you are loved and to allow yourself to feel that love. Please take extra care of yourselves today. Practicing both compassion for ourselves and compassion for each other is incredibly important in grief. Although many of us have lost…

It sounds like #Oracle took on a whole bunch of debt to build data centers for #OpenAI. It makes sense that the company's value would dip based on that but $15bn more than the full contract value is significant.

My favorite thing about infinite scroll is when your connection hiccups and nothing else will load so you have to reload the entire page and scroll a dozen times just to get to where you were so you can start the fuck over and hope your connection doesn’t hiccup again.

Wow! I just received a report from another mastodon instance for violating that instance's rule against "Profiting/benefiting from the destruction of the planet and society." That's a little extreme.

I just checked my CD player to see if it had a ‘year in review’ feature and then I remembered I bought it before the turn of the century and the only reason the lid stays closed is because I balance a book on it.
I guess I could go by the CDs piled next to it.

The Nu HTML Checker has gotten a bunch of updates to validate ARIA. Try it:
https://validator.w3.org/nu/
Or run it locally:

Promoting the book meant I had to log into LinkedIn.
So now’s a good time to note that I log in rarely and I only connect with folks I’ve met IRL and / or worked with directly.
It seems unfair to connect with anybody without actually knowing them (or logging in but monthly).
But I also don’t use LinkedIn.

That is interesting.
