the “company” side of things :— hiring practices, project management, openness and transparency regarding decisionmaking and governance, communication with users, participatory design methodologies, etc, etc —: these are the areas where every single social media platform has failed, not features

where are these things in the a§c manifesto? these very important not-software things?

so no amount of trust in the current people running it is relevant. either they aren't worth your trust, or they are but will soon be outnumbered, or they will maintain a small team and have insufficient staff to deal with problems (making the question of trust useless)

the only merits you can judge it on are structural

the only way around this is through abusive hiring/workplace dynamics which ensure that the people currently in power remain the ones in power even as the company scales

cohost is worker-run, which means that the people making decisions today will be a minority of the people making decisions if it ever takes off

me and my girlfriend watching chihayafuru: competition, or, to use the Marxist term, dialectic

@monorail @00dani because "numbers are class instances" to me suggests "numbers are mutable" which

@monorail @00dani one potential difference is that numbers in javascript are (for good reason) immutable

even if you attach a method to them it can't modify the original value

is that true in dart?

gender is pretty cool when it’s optional

i cannot overstate how strong the “oh my god they’re fucking” vibes of this episode are

today with my girlfriend we watched the pokémon episode about the lady who has sex with her piplup and croagunk

this should have been anticipated

oh no i broke my website on mobile
