I'm pleased to announce the immediate release of How To Write A Tech Book!
If you have ever thought about writing a tech book, but wasn't sure how, this is for you. I distill twenty years of experience writing a dozen books for multiple publishers (and self-publishing) into a book that walks you step-by-step through the full process.

Just learned this morning that Bram Moolenaar, creator and maintainer of Vim, passed away recently at 62. I’ve been a user of Vim since my 20s, so even though I’ve never met Bram his work has been an important part of my life.

About the Matrix incident on July 26 2023 https://text.tchncs.de/tchncs/about-the-matrix-incident-on-july-26-2023

so how's it going over at the Dark Fediverse, the loose network of awful nazi and TERF sites that everyone over here has fediblocked?

well, Alex Gleason - or Soapbox TERF - has quit his job at Truth Social to go work on integrating Soapbox with the Nostr network, which is like the dark fediverse but with bitcoins. Gleason got funding from Jack Dorsey to do this work.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/truth-social-head-engineering-leaves-220000904.html

Soapbox is Gleason's fork of Pleroma after he was so much of an arsehole he managed to get kicked out of that project, and the project was largely the other ten guys at the table

i can hardly describe my lack of surprise that Gleason was at Truth Social.

Gleason is a transphobic gay man, btw. Wonder how that went down at Truth Social.

A prediction (based on decades of coding):
There is some code - somewhere deep in the zillions of lines of X(Twitter) code - which absolutely and wrongly depends on the literal string "twitter".
And, as the rebranding continues, it will fail, spectacularly.
