nostr:npub1yyx7sllvsrr0fauh2rdlqk5rakf3963g9xk4a7j5uhfcs00lr3kq42qa5g I used it for years, but much like read-it-never services (e.g. Instapaper, which I also used), it was a place to put stuff — not a place to retrieve. 🤷‍♂️ gave up on all of that ages ago.

When you figure that out, let me know...

I have people all around me that I cannot understand how they've gone hook/line/sinker...

nostr:npub1ch0qyv4wh57skn6h0mcpl3k0r6pp2h8c33yzx9ne7t8psch7jhuqcfyqeq I figure it’s the basic human problem of being susceptible to believing things you want to be true. We all do it to some extent, but it feels really dangerous to be so unaware of it.

Recently spoke to someone who lamented Trump, looked forward his undoing, then effortlessly pivoted to how they couldn’t wait for Trudeau to be out, too, and did I know about the affair he’d been having? She just knew it.

This from a professional with a tonne of post-secondary education.

Someone else was recently railing against “all those welfare bums.”

Class warfare is real, and it serves none of the interests of those waging it.

Why do people fall for this?

nostr:npub1xsymv0rcpcxj360a5274hx2l8d46lhfrz82w0ra3e0kneqkwkxysyxcevg All great points. I feel like the only time one should use a link shortener these days is if you really need to make it easy to read and type, *and* it has a short lifetime, like a flyer promoting your band’s show next weekend.

Anything with a longer lifetime, you should probably set up your own redirect on a site you control like mydomain.com/myredirect. Anything that’s likely to be around months or years later, you really need ownership of that.

nostr:npub185mq3awyp3e4tctjgpf0p7uafu57jvchdatcj76ky5ef0laq2xrsze9xwq I wrote a post about this in April, 2014. The only updated needed is the mention of t.co, which… nope. Still, it’s an excellent case in point. https://tantramarinteractive.com/shorteners/
