@samhenrigold I ain't clicking on that. Why encourage them?

@cstross @aral @johnbierce I worked as a programmer at Google for five years, 2004-2009, in the "Don't Be Evil" days.

I had just been baffled by the fairly rapid degradation of their search, but @pluralistic clued me in: https://doctorow.medium.com/microincentives-and-enshittification-574290ea196f

It's disgraceful. It shows how the addictive power of money destroys everyone's integrity.

@johnbierce @cstross F&SF is the most radically left-wing print science fiction magazine left.

The editor is a woman of color who publishes all sorts of non-binary people, people from developing countries, and that sort of thing.

I've been reading F&SF for over 40 years, and I like these new changes.

I suspect it's simply that the American editor has no idea who the British writer was.

@EU_Commission I feel like I'm cheating here, I knew all the answers except (of course) the last one.

The EU is really one of the best things to happen to humanity, which is why I left the US in 2016 for the Netherlands, never to return.

Keep up the good work! More people should know the benefits of being in the EU.
