Category: Link Dump

All the cool links we share on social media sites will vanish in a few days, lost in a river of toots and tweets.

• Twitter “reinstates Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.” Fucking gross.
• Instagram took down a rap song at the request of the police. Gee, can’t ever see that happening here in the US with metal music.
• ‘Elon Musk Is An Idiot (and so are Zuck and SBF)‘ – good video.
• Watch this video to see just how bad the MetaVerse shit really is.
• ‘the science behind lofi music‘ from Answer In Progress is fun.
• Finally got around to buying SoundSource and I love it (makes it easy to mute my browser and switch to Apple Music audio and back).
• This Disco theme for WordPress is so great.

What if instead of LIKING stuff and RTing articles everyday on social media we all just started making Link Dump posts again?

• Twitter is Going Great (via Daring Fireball)
• “What looks like genius may simply be the byproduct of persistence and variety,” says James Clear.
• Notion is doing AI writing now?
• “It’s quite plausible that the Internet is losing its coolness and its clickbait appeal,” writes Ted Gioia in ‘Has the Internet Reached Peak Clickability?’ (via The Missive)
• “Even if Mastodon were to remain Twitter’s very tiny stepbrother, I would still like to be part of a Mastodon journalist community because I think we got lazy as a field, and we let Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, and, god help us, Elon Musk and their staff decide all these major journalistic questions.”
• Look at this wild streaming set-up.
• “I always want it to be a project that, if successful, will make the rest of my career look like a footnote.”
• This is horrifying: “Law enforcement opposes rules banning cops from being involved in extremist groups.”
