Every couple of months I like to share with new people or people on new instances how to add #Mastodon timelines into #rss feeds:
https://mastodon.sdf.org/@cosullivan.atom
Roll your own: https://[federated.instance]/@[userid].atom
Could be worth trying if your favourite accounts are 8-16hrs away, or if you detect spotty synchronization issues between instances. #Mastodon101 #rss

@allan I mean, if you're going to discuss company history, start at the beginning. 🙃
Seriously, though, stuff like this is why we have diversity problems in engineering.

>> … on average, when Craigslist’s opened erotic services in a city, the female homicide rate went down 17 percent.
> 17 percent. That’s not the homicide rate for female sex workers. That’s the homicide rate for all women.

Your daily dose of dystopia...
Google's thought experiment of the "Selfish Ledger."
Understanding the user so completely as to change the behavior of that user, then applying that at scale to change the behavior of entire populations.

Just heard the best college student excuse for not learning how to cook:
"Everything tastes good when you're hungry."
