The Rule of Goats is this:
If you fuck a goat, you’re a goatfucker. It doesn’t matter that you were fucking the goat ironically, or to troll people. You fucked a goat.

What are people using for APM and Open Telemetry tracing these days? Not interested in expensive options like Datadog, Honeycomb, or New Relic.

CNN should just lean in and approach everything with this ethos. “What if we ask Kanye host a Seder? What would happen if we bought Jared Fogle a Build-A-Bear franchise? OOOHHHH JEFFREY DAHMER COOKING SHOW”

Looking at Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro pricing you can pay $49/year and run it on multiple iPads, that seems great.
(Compare to CleanMyMac which has terrible pricing of $55/year for 2 Macs (that’s on sale) and is less useful.)

When I was 7, we went to Disney World & wanted to ride Tower of Terror.
When we got on and settled in, we realized I was too small for the restraint system.
Undeterred, Disney *LET MY PARENTS HOLD ME DOWN WITH JUST THEIR ARMS*
I survived (obviously), but went airbourne several times. 😂

@assaf.bsky.social I tried out https://skeet.labnotes.org (thank you for building it) and when I go to import from my mastodon account, it brings up the wrong person. That's not me, but that is my address, as you can see when you hit my profile directly. https://mastodon.social/@willie

The draw of Bluesky is the power of defaults and feeling like Twitter without being Twitter.
Mastodon is more than Twitter and the lack of defaults gives people fleeing Twitter more choices than they want.

I went to share a person, but when I sent it to a friend, it didn’t tie back into the app or give any notion on the site who I was linking to. Makes it harder to share interesting people to others getting started. Sharing interesting content is easy, tho
