Ostracism is evil

Ostracism is evil is a silencing tactic that opposes any suggestion that someone should leave a community, or that other members should shun them, because excluding someone from a community is wrong.

If Elon Musk's Space-X is involved, it's the same as Russia being involved. Might as well cut out the middle man and just give Putin the whole fucking country.

New tool from me: I wrote a local aligner that can do approximate reference-based alignment and find genes in a query microbial genome, without a separate indexing step or any temporary disk space usage.

Written fully in Rust and there will be a browser version out later: github.com/tmaklin/kbo 1/3

In particular, I borrow insights from developmental systems theory and enactive cognition to explore how birds experience and construct their social environments. I'm also critical of genetic determinism in animal and human behavior.

Here's my best effort to work out why Bluesky blew up over the weekend. Bluesky knows what it's *for*. Threads is still working that out platformer.news/bluesky-post-e…
It also stands rather sharply in contrast to Threads. As a Mark Zuckerberg production, Threads was always going to get a cool reception from elites of both parties. Their initial predictions that the app was dead on arrival were quickly proved wrong, as it rocketed past 100 million users in a few months. I seem to enjoy Threads more than most people I know: I’ve found it more than adequate for following the day’s tech news and the conversation around it, even if it’s not nearly as vibrant as Twitter once was. Threads has had moments of cultural impact; Stephen King now identifies as “a Threads guy.” In general, though, the feed feels less vibrant than Bluesky’s has over the past couple weeks. There is a sense that few of the people using it have a strong sense of what it is for, exactly. Ryan Broderick today called it “some kind of algorithmic holding pen for anyone who has ever eaten a Sweetgreen salad in Salesforce Park.”
