All the big shifts in the tech industry recently seem to have been foretold by Tim Wu's "The Master Switch" (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8201080-the-master-switch). Small companies get gobbled up by bigger ones or obliterated through copying. Incumbents are strong and getting stronger. Network effects create a lot of winner-take-all scenarios.
Renewed my library card. Use your local libraries! They're an incredible public good.

At my favorite café, with good tea, on a low-traffic quiet day. This is what I love here. This quiet, contemplative, intentional space. It's almost a sabbath moment.

@bob @bumi Unfortunately, the core issue for OSS projects remains the network for people finding your stuff and becoming contributors without friction. Private projects are a non-issue imo. I think we need to solve federated forking and merge requests, including code comments etc., unless we all want to lose valuable contributions.

I just rewatched Gerwig's _Lady Bird_ and I still think it is probably the best movie ever made and I was a sobbing mess by the end. I love that film so much.
Most importantly, stop putting institutional events on Facebook, stop using it at universities, stop making participation in Facebook mandatory through your institutional, organization, and activist roles. You can be online, and social, and connected without supporting Facebook.
A thing that tech _never_ seems to understand is that consistency is a huge part of usability.
An UI change that is a marginal improvement becomes a net negative if it breaks from people's prior expectations.
Hello World!
