Dare Obasanjo<p>What makes grifters, in politics or technology, effective is that they point out real problems. The issue is that they then propose bullshit solutions.</p><p>It’s not complaining about big pharma that’s wrong. It’s that replacing vaccines with taking overpriced supplements is bullshit. Similarly it isn’t that there isn’t room for technology innovation & art, it’s that selling links to monkey JPEGs in obvious Ponzi schemes is bullshit.</p><p>You have to evaluate the solutions not just their critiques.</p>
whysamanthawhy<p>I love seeing other cyclists on my morning commute. I can wish them a, "good morning!" which would be impossible if we were in cars!</p>
whysamanthawhy<p>Being multimodal: Biked across the same river 4x yesterday - one RT solo and one RT with a passenger. Rain and cargo made that trip impractical today, so I caught a ride with two different friends. I appreciate making intentional transportation choices!</p>

AJ Sadauskas<p>The thing about Twitter is that it really lacks a lot of the features you'd expect from a true Mastodon replacement. </p><p>For example, there's no way to edit your toots (which they, confusingly call "tweets"—let's face it, it's a bit of a silly name that's difficult to take seriously). </p><p>"Tweets" can't be covered by a content warning. There's no way to let the poster know you like their tweet without also sharing it, and no bookmark feature.</p><p>There's no way to set up your own instance, and you're basically stuck on a single instance of Twitter. That means there's no community moderators you can reach out to to quickly resolve issues. Also, you can't de-federate instances with a lot of problematic content.</p><p>It also doesn't Integrate with other fediverse platforms, and I couldn't find the option to turn the ads off.</p><p>Really, Twitter has made a good start, but it will need to add a lot of additional features before it gets to the point where it becomes a true Mastodon replacement for most users.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>twitter</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/twittermigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>twittermigration</span></a> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://lemmy.ml/c/fediverse" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>fediverse</span></a></span></p>
whysamanthawhy<p>Gosh, I'm having such lovely discussions on this topic. Should I be writing more polemics about data modeling? <a href="https://thedataarealright.blog/2023/04/12/the-case-against-contact-record-types-in-salesforce/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thedataarealright.blog/2023/04</span><span class="invisible">/12/the-case-against-contact-record-types-in-salesforce/</span></a></p>
whysamanthawhy<p>What're your best ideas for naming conventions for fields?</p>
whysamanthawhy<p>Today, I imported a list of data folks to follow from <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://recsys.social/@Randy_Au" class="u-url mention">@<span>Randy_Au</span></a></span> and I'm really excited to meet all of you! *waves*</p>
whysamanthawhy<p>The correct KPI is not how many <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Dreamin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Dreamin</span></a> abstracts you submit, but rather, how many abstracts your mentees submit. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MidwestDreamin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MidwestDreamin</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MidAtlanticDreamin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MidAtlanticDreamin</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Forcelandia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Forcelandia</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Salesforce" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Salesforce</span></a></p>

whysamanthawhy<p>... and I ended up taking a rideshare home from the bike shop (wheel in tow) so that I could put my energy elsewhere (had enough walking for the day).</p><p>TLDR: being a <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/multimodal" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>multimodal</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/transit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>transit</span></a> babe is good, even when it's not good. /end (4/4)</p>
whysamanthawhy<p>... and I'm grateful that I live in a city that is mostly walkable (could be safer for pedestrians!) and with multiple bike shops (albeit I wish they were closer to my door step!)... and I'm grateful that I CAN WALK (my health has sometimes limited my range of mobility)... and today was a balmy 65 degrees (ugh <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>climatechange</span></a>) but good for neighborhood walking!

whysamanthawhy<p>... then I think... my first unsuccessful attempt brought me to the steps of my favorite yarn store. how can i regret that? and the new tote and yarn I purchased?! no way!!!... (2/x)</p>
whysamanthawhy<p>My rear bike tire has been flat for about 2 weeks. I shlepped it around to multiple bike stores that were closed for the holidays. Today, I had to take a longer walk than I had planned... take a meeting from a cafe... and then get it fixed during a pocket of time on my schedule. I started out feeling grumpy but... (1/x)</p>
