decided over the weekend to try out opening up a block of calls over the next few weeks: calendly.com/methodandstr...

if you're in leadership and have been following me long enough to know what I'm about, I invite you to book a 30-minute free consultation call to jam about whatever you working on.

The first one is free - Dorian Taylor

i dunno i think it does matter to a certain extent how ideologically committed people are, ie when you push back do they give up and ultimately forget about it, or do they spend the next ten generations harbouring a grudge

i don't disagree with you in principle; at this point we're just haggling over the percentage

dorian @doriantaylor.com · 5h

i guess i'm sort of thinking about it in terms of the effort it's going to take to deprogram/punish these people, cause you're not gonna be able to get all of 'em

i guess the thing that i find morbidly fascinating about this is how many of these people are really seething committed nazis vs somebody who has made a calculation that they're safe either from uttering the rhetoric or the actions it entails

gerlfren's cable modem keeps dumping its dhcp lease so everything ipv4 stops working; ipv6 still works (no dhcp after all) so i whipped her up a quick hot vpn endpoint to my gear but like jesus @cogecoconnexion.bsky.social she's been through three different modems; this is clearly your firmware mods

You're living through one of the biggest technological transformations in world history and it has nothing to do with AI

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

yeah i pretty much agree with that; the only reason to try to attribute to anything else is to address the idiosyncratic way in which it manifests

dorian @doriantaylor.com · 1d

indeed, a lot of the ills attributed to capitalism can be easily found in regimes both before and after it; only a sliver of the whole set is uniquely attributable imo
