We can’t handle a regular storm, let alone when we’re having a “storm of the century” every other year.
Important: These failures are on @NYGovCuomo. He’s shown that the only transportation infrastructure he’ll invest in for NYC is for people who don’t live here.

They've been around a long time, but I see more and more interesting stuff happening around DDG. It's striking what a difference there is in consumer interest in privacy from 20 years ago when Scott McNealy said "You have zero privacy anyway, get over it." (See also: Apple.)
My wishlist would be that they maybe rebrand to just "Duck" (they already own the name!) and work more closely with companies like Apple or Mozilla that are broadly privacy-aligned. It's hard because everyone is dependent on Google, or to a lesser degree, Facebook.
Anyway, consumers (or as I like to call them, "people") are smart, they do care about things like privacy and safety, and when given good options and clear explanations, they usually make thoughtful choices about tech.

Really liked this thread from Sid at @gitlab, it was interesting to hear an outside perspective on the idea of building apps in the browser. Especially because I hadn't even heard of some of these tools! And it shows our work at @Glitch in a different context than we think of it.
I know everybody says "we don't see ourselves as having any competitors", but really you can sort of tell from how we talk about what we do — @Glitch is a community, and we celebrate what our users create. Also, Glitch is about *apps*, not just code.
The thing people connect around is the creativity, the expression, the idea in an app. Lots of tools let you just work with code, but it's the difference between sharing recipes and sharing a meal with someone.

Someone who’s really thoughtful & who’s taught me a good deal about how to be more accommodating of coworkers or people I collaborate with share this innocuous little insight the other day. It’s fine, on its own. But then what happened…
… the bad-faith right wing folks who fake offense to anything that acknowledges cultures outside America (let alone other hemispheres) decided to make an example of this, pretending this is “woke culture” or some other contrived demon, instead of simple human advice.
That’s bad enough. Those attacks did what they always do, drawing days of racist or misogynist hate, along with the huge burden of having to sift through the “ordinary” hate provoked by right-wing social media, to see if there are actionable threats mixed in. Next…

When did everybody agree to start saying a long E at the end of “processes”?
Relatedly, “Reese’s” rhymes with “pieces”, THAT’S WHY THEY USED THAT NAME
Canadians are allowed to say the long O in “process”, it’s cute.

One of the questions I’ve most liked asking folks who insist I help them get verified (something I do not, and gave never, have any power over) is “what does the check mark represent to you?” Answers are always interesting.
Like, there’s a media/tech insidery answer that’s about having access to better filters, or that the platform might amplify your tweets. But regular folks have an entire set of folk beliefs around what verification means, and what it delivers.
I don’t know if it’s tied to the precarity & capriciousness of the creator economy, but the random dudes who jump in my DMs seem intense, even desperate, about getting verified. It signifies some potential to them that I still don’t get, and that they typically refuse to explain.

In general, when I'm describing @Glitch to folks, I always try to focus on the creativity of the community, and the amazing things that they make. But it takes a *ton* of really innovative technical work to make it super-simple to create something as complex as a full-stack app…
So I love this behind-the-scenes look that @keithkurson wrote about the completely revamped starter apps our team created. blog.glitch.com/post/a-closer-… You can see why we blessed a semi-official "Glitch stack" of frameworks like @vite_js @fastifyjs @eleven_ty @reactjs and more.
The end result is something that seems impossible: It's just as fast, or *faster*, to create a real app with real code using these popular open source frameworks than it is to pick some template from a site-building tool. It's exciting to see "Yes Code" be as easy as No Code.
