Why do companies make garbage like this? It's probably why it's invitation only. Unless it can actually do something useful like say get me a beer from the fridge, then it's just dead on arrival. Home hobbyists have already g

Probably a good time to remind people that this entire planet is 70% water. Water shortage shouldn't be a thing, but greed and short sightedness is.

In another life I worked in a warehouse, eventually I was promoted to Warehouse Manager, one of the first things I did was to try and get everyone a pay raise. And there was a lady worked in the warehouse who was basically waiting till she

I used to spend about 4 hours a day posting articles, pictures etc from various sites to my sites. I automated that to save myself time, a bit like hootsuite and sprout but designed for my sites and not as complicated. Now I still spend jus

This is mostly good advice. I have so many clients who want to be the next Facebook and think it's as simple as running a site. The technical stuff is easy, but the real work is actually running a community, it's not enough to jus

At some point when you get 'mistakenly' kicked off Twitter for the nth time, there has to be a point where you just go fuck this and either throw up your own site or move to mastodon.

They're not wrong. What even is this? A monetised front for Twitter? Not even it's own site? It's garbage, sites like this are the 'stain to the community', not the people pointing it out.
