Why is it that when progressive policies that help the bottom 90 percent are proposed, the question always seems to be, "How will you pay for it?"

But when the top 1 percent ask for bailouts, tax cuts, and subsidies, the question always seems to be, "How much do you need?"

Anyone up for a #coffeeclub a few mornings a week to meet, connect and share ideas? I am trying to reconnect to the community and I bet others are also. Looking at 7:30AM EST. DM me if interested.

I broke down and bought a Mac Studio M2 base model since I could not find what part of my PC was causing the freezes. I think either MB or RAM, but I don't have time to find out. I am trading in my Mac Mini M1 and getting $410. Overall so far a great desktop and very quiet. Almost too quiet.

💡 Thinking about flow (using Team Topologies) helps us to think about outcomes. Effectively, we start with outcomes and work backwards to evolve an organization design (and operating model) that strongly encourages those outcomes.

Related techniques like Sooner, Safer, Happier help here, too.

while i'm sad to see #reddit circling the toilet, it only reminded me of how urgent it is that we finally ditch centralized social media. reddit itself isn't the problem - it's a symptom of a much more generalized problem we've had since FB became a thing in the late 00's.

i've spent the past week re-purposing, patching, porting, and expanding a great piece of software based on the same #nntp protocol that #usenet uses, for creating discussion groups. i'm calling it "tomo" (友 - 'friend') bbs.

some time soon folks can spin up their own tomo shards, create discussion groups in a similar manner to reddit, decide whether they want to keep the group restricted to their shard, or share the group with other tomo shards in a public network of discussion groups called tomonet. completely decentralized private or public discussions without supercorporation bs.

best of all, since it is based on plain 'ol usenet-like nntp, you can read and post to discussion groups from a 1977 VAX mainframe, a 1984 IBM PCjr at 2400 baud, an Apple Newton, or a brand new phone.

i can't wait to bust out forté free agent for windows 3.11 and get posting this weekend. 😎

My #WWDC23 prediction is the following.

#Apple will unveil we've already been introduced to the XR headset. But how?!

Well... Tim Cook snuck into your house 2 years ago and placed a device on you and you've since been living in a simulation this whole time!!! 🤯
