Handwritten greeting on an otherwise mint 2ndhand #vinyl record I bought:
"I hope you enjoy this record, Anne. - Peter"
Peter, you're a dick.
1. No need to specify that it's a record: It's obviously a fucking record.
2. The very fact you gifted it already demonstrates your hope that she will like it.
3. You could just have easily expressed these banalities verbally or in a card.
4. Specifying the recipient's name was also redundant: Anne probably already knows her own name.
@royaards Well expressed

Ah yes, I remember buying that textbook

Looks like Paramount’s $16 million settlement with Trump is only the second highest sum it’s paid this month to get publicly ridiculed.
Good for South Park for taking Paramount’s $1.5 billion and still skewering them for their cowardice. They deserve it.

Is the low ranking of “ham” on pizza because prosciutto isn’t common on American pizzas? That watery “ham” description sounds awful — but good prosciutto can easily be S-tier

WordPress in ActivityPub
Yesterday I was chatting with Tim Bray on Mastodon about coming up with a design and implementation for incoming feeds for ActivityPub. I promised to show how WordPress does it.
So this is an example of a WordPress post, but I'm providing a link to this post as it is viewed on Mastodon via the AP interface that the Automattic people have done.
It's a heroic effort imho. And it shows that Mastodon doesn't have a character limit, and it can do simple styling and links. Posts can have titles, and can be edited.
These are important features that are not new to writing on computers but are new to social media. Tim and I are old enough when writing tools routinely provided these features for web writing. Speaking for myself I want them back.
Happy to ramble
Now I'm rambling on purpose to show how long-winded one can be using this connection. Someone will point out that I could have said what I have to say here in 140 characters. It's so true! But I feel free to go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on but at some point you have to say enough is enough and just stop for crying out loud.
@hotdogsladies How am now just hearing about this. I need to have a chat with my secretary.

Wikipedia’s nonprofit status questioned by Trump-appointed US attorney, accusing it of "allowing foreign actors to manipulate information": https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/04/25/wikipedia-nonprofit-ed-martin-letter/, https://archive.is/UNXVy, via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43799302
Well, yes. Wikipedia editing is not limited to US-based Trump-loyalist propagandists. That's a good thing. This should be a warning, though, that Wikipedia's ownership and internet hosting being based in the US has become a liability rather than a strength.
