I was at an event last night and some people spoke about how without Fb they wouldn't have been able to reconnect with their school friends.
The #Networkeffect of the #socialgraph is so important to growth.

I am wondering how the #Fediverse could incorporate that in order to get more users.

#writingCommunity question to authors on #KoboPlus who’ve tried promotions there.

If I was to apply for a spot in one of the K+ promotions, should I submit my most popular book, my most recent book, or perhaps my book which is both second-most popular and second-most recent?

Starting to believe that “moving fast” in professional environments is actually just “delay this problem for someone else to deal with in the future”.

Context: I’ve been helping oversee an email service provider (ESP) migration for an enterprise org (1,000+ people).

Every other day we find unexpected issues that were caused by someone trying to save time and move quickly in the past. And we have to spend the time those people supposedly saved in the past by fixing their issues now, in their future.

No time was actually saved, folks. It was an illusion.

No #RadioTimes, I didn't receive your marketing spam because I signed up for #marketing emails.

I'm receiving it because you choose to abuse the personal information of myself and thousands of others in breach of UK law, knowing that enforcement by the #ICO is nonexistent. Now fuck off. #GDPR

Coworker asked why I have a box by my desk.

Me “It has my books. You never know when someone wants to buy a book. Hey [other coworker], you wanna buy a book?” Laugh laugh laugh.

Other Coworker: “Wait, you wrote a book? Yeah I’ll get one!”

So I sold a book.

Always be closing, y’all. 😆

This is a real product at a real store. “Forever.” You’ll never use it because you literally can’t use it.

Un bell'articolo del Guardian sulle Olimpiadi a Milano: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/13/winter-olympics-milan-culture-italy

Le Olimpiadi invernali sono uno spettacolo affascinante, ma in Italia l'atmosfera è più cupa.

I Giochi avrebbero potuto mettere in mostra la ricca cultura e l'architettura di Milano. Invece hanno riempito la città di padiglioni vistosi e gentrificazione.

Questo l'attacco dell'articolo:

In una giornata no, Milano può sembrare meno una città e più un centro commerciale a cielo aperto. Da quando, nel 2019, si è aggiudicata il bando per ospitare le Olimpiadi invernali, il paesaggio urbano è stato ridotto a polvere da cantiere e sommerso dai messaggi pubblicitari delle aziende. Quello che era iniziato come un semplice logo su un tram si è gradualmente trasformato in un'invasione febbrile e totale dello spazio pubblico. Da Piazza del Duomo al Castello Sforzesco, i luoghi più amati della città sono stati occupati da vistosi padiglioni, trasformando Milano in uno spettacolo bizzarro popolato da mascotte danzanti."

Beh, non capita spesso di leggere un articolo del genere sulla stampa italiana
