J.B. Pinkle

On purpose.

Only clearer by the day that this was all an exercise to intentionally kill Twitter to the benefit of billionaires, fascists and other extremists.

I truly thought it was just tone deafness and overconfidence on the part of Musk for a good potion of this. But the last few events, along with various comments he has made along the way, have me concluding that this must be true.

They are not cool

I mean, not with that attitude.

what an amateurish logo, looks like what a tiny business puts up on their wordpress when they have no designers & are only making a logo

To me it looks legitimately confusingly like the xorg logo, which ironically you usually see on a Linux system only when the config to display the correct logo for something is missing or invalid.

They are called TWEETS, ELON! TWEETS!

Elon Musk: For now…

Least destructive decision he’s made since acquiring it.

Feels like just yesterday in some ways. But how the world has changed since then. Really sad about this.

Before you all fall for the shamless clickbait,

I used to start and end my day at Ars Technica. For years.

Has really never been the same since Conde Nast took over. I usually only end up there now when someone links an article from there. Thanks for saving me a click, and I’ll pour one out for what once was…

I’m more than a year into using a Trilium instance at home and another at work for taking notes and keeping track of various information.

I love it love it love it, maybe especially at work, but I am certain I use only a tiny fraction of its capabilities.

I’m burnt out and can’t focus at work. Really wish I had more that 2 weeks of vacation time a year

Have been there, and am never far from there. It sucks and I wish you the best in overcoming it. Any chance you’ve got a supportive boss? Mine is and it helped a lot.

Just created my account here in the past day. I know it probably can’t last, but I don’t think I’ve had that “cozy” feeling right away in a forum or other online community like this in decades, and I’d say it was somewhat rare even “back in the day.”

So far folks seem to live up to the stated goals of the place and I think that’s pretty great.

So my day is going pretty good because that’s a pleasant surprise, and because a stressful work event today ended up being not too stressful after all.
