Anecdotally, my Tailscale tip is still working almost a year later but I haven’t tested for the tip becoming deprecated for Ubuntu 22.x, RHEL 9.x , or newer installs - YMMV https://forum.tailscale.com/t/lost-connectivity-after-months-of-no-problems/603/17

I might begin to pick one headline or two from Techmeme here each day to weigh in… similar to the way I once did elsewhere ephemerally that could be captured by Techmeme.
Example from 2021: https://www.techmeme.com/210809/p24#a210809p24
Why?
I noticed Techmeme references being aggregated from a Mastodon instance (and different screenshots indicate Techmeme editors are evolving on Tweets vs. More for crosspost vs. non-crosspost Mastodon – neat!)

Just listening to this rebroadcast and thinking about how little time was spent on characterization of outsized amplification of trolls and nation state-sponsored PsyOp as a rage click economic engine for advertising with (complete?) omission of synthetic traffic from disreputable gaming of vanity metrics to organized criminal bots networks

So… I’m not saying I predicted this but I kinda _expected_ this:
Revue (Twitter’s former acqui-hire of a newsletter service) is shutting down soon.
“We’ll cut to the chase: from January 18, 2023, it will no longer be possible to access your Revue account. On that date, Revue will shut down and all data will be deleted. This has been a hard decision because we know Revue has a passionate user base, made up of people like you.”

Future post from 2023: When #mastodon URLs were first blocked by the `hardcore` team using coarse regular expressions, it only served to accelerate the #fediverse algal bloom of various polymorphic self-hosted URLs fronted by globally resilient CDNs.

One of the many optional responsibilities of self-hosting a #mastodon instance is periodic approval of “new trends up for review” by the #mastodonadmin (aka me myself and i)

I was 40 years old when I first ate churros.
So, in some ways, I’m only 10 years old.

Try to imagine a future where science fiction is wrong about everything except the most banal details.
Perhaps off world references of science fiction simply will be the balkanization of technologies, practices, and ethics that are contained to a very much on world sovereign landmass.
It’s no wonder so-called tech visionaries wanted to seastead as if Lord of the Flies was an instruction manual.

This song is 50 years old and was built upon drum loops. Amazing. If that wasn’t enough, the music video has disco dancers dressed like Bond villain henchmen. https://vimeo.com/641845488

A quick message from Lida:
With 18 years building, marketing, and scaling products at startups, I work with founders and leaders stuck between where they are and where they need to be. I help you cut through the noise, make sharper decisions, and get your team executing with clarity instead of chaos.
Most founders mistake complexity for strategy. They keep adding when they should be subtracting. When I'm brought in, the team is usually doing a lot right, and the real issue is focus and direction. I diagnose what's actually going wrong across product, positioning, and execution, then reset direction and get everyone aligned around one clear path forward that will lead to growth.
A bit of what I've done: I was the first PM on a fintech product that hit 10,000+ users within months, built a national incubator that supported over $500M in startup funding, and led teams at 23 Design before it was acquired by frog (the design team behind Apple’s first products). I've spoken at Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, etc.
