Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Too tired to sneer at the book myself right now but the article doesn’t pull punches either

Figured it’s worth posting since the book author has featured here more than once recently and has definitely been an enabler to The Shit

archive link since the baffler was so fond of telling me I had only 1 free article left, meaning refreshing the tab would most likely lock me out of reading the page

that really is a fucking annoying banner, yeah. also, lifehack: open these fuckers in temp containers or priv sessions of $browserflavour. counter cookies can't do shit when they always die.

true! I really need to squash the Lemmy bug that kills my session when I switch tab groups on mobile

I've been using mlem on iOS as my client, if you want something to try out

I have it installed, but haven’t tried it since our instance launched! I should give it another try soon and see if they’ve implemented the admin frontend yet

Mlem dev here! Admin features aren't live quite yet, but they should be available as part of an upcoming beta in a couple of weeks or so.

nice, I’ll definitely keep an eye on TestFlight! thanks for all your work on Mlem!
