According to Jesse Singal during the latest “primo” episode of Blocked & Reported. Given my traffic stats, this is absolutely not an issue for me.
I started writing this Friday or Saturday, and came away kind of exhausted by the episode. Lots of focus on Jack Posobiec, and back to the PizzaGate controversy.
But I chose the title because this won’t be a problem I’m having; nobody is reading, and everything gets deleted. Or at least hidden from public view.
This week has been a marked exercise in me showing exactly why I so often find myself alone on almost every issue.
I’m consuming a lot of information that I’d formerly cast aside with a “this is bullshit” dismissal. Oh well.
I do consider everything, and you have to call out when people are just absolutely wrong. About nearly everything.
Professionally, that’s tough. This unwise thing was done, and I just have to work within the frameworks that exist.
It does kind of fit with DOGE/USDS/18F. What the hell are you trying to do? Can it be done better? Go figure out how to do it, and to hell with the legacy cruft.
I’ll make mistakes. I readily admit that. I want you to explain why I’ve made a mistake beyond adherence to some rule from 40 years ago.
“No, you can’t do that.” might as well be restated as, “I’m reporting you to the cops.”
The fundamental engineering has been stripped out in the name of “being agile,” but the sledgehammer that is the regulatory sledgehammer remains, as an unspoken threat.
Okay, then. Do whatever you will, but do it publicly.
In fact, do it on Signal so everybody knows!!1!
