I'm seeing another bloom of "adtech is evil, adblockers rule, fuck every web publisher" discourse. So I decided to go back and boost some of my #AdTech / #AdBlocker toots.
This shit is complicated. This shit is nuanced.There's still an ad-supported #OpenWeb baby to be thrown out with the bathwater. (Full disclosure: my ErosBlog is a tiny part of that baby.)
AdTech is evil. But it can be used fairly.
Web ads do suck. But beans have doubled in price in the last three years. #ItsComplicated

@kim_harding @theferret slightly more nuanced than a straight "no", however. Had I been in town, I'd probably have gone to join the protests against the monarchy. But I'd also have been curious to seen associated pomp - we're paying for it, after all - and would definitely have been keen to the Red Arrows.
So, #ItsComplicated. But still #NotMyKing.
Unser Maler/Lackierer hat sich seit Montag krankgemeldet und ich befinde mich in einem seltsamen sowohl-als-auch-Zustand, in dem es mich nervt, dass die Wohnungsbaustelle nicht voran kommt und ich gleichzeitig eigentlich für immer meine Ruhe haben will...verzwickt!😆

Pauline Hanson’s inflammatory claims bring tensions to ‘No’ camp https://flip.it/7qXLa7 | The No camp, to the Ingenious Voice Referendum this year, are mostly racists, lead by the unhonourable Peter Potato Head Dutton 🥔, Leader of the Liberal (aka Republican) party and a handful of (slightly naive?) hard line Indigenous people who say No because they think it doesn’t go far enough and want a Treaty. I agree with Treaty as a final goal, and only see Voice as a step towards that, which should hopefully happen in my life 😀 #itscomplicated
"Giverny, Poplars of Ajoux," Blanche Hoschedé Monet, c. 1896.
Monet's stepdaughter, AND daughter-in-law (quite a tale, look it up) was a purer Impressionist than he was. He taught and encouraged her, so the influence of his style is evident, but it has its own little ways of being unique.
From a private collection.

@EthanHolmes But you generally don't know the true costs until all the shouting is over. It requires taking a fair value approach — one that considers the full range of future gains and losses, and that recognizes the cost of that risk. #ItsComplicated

I have been wrong about everything. And tomorrow I will be wrong about that as well.
The more I learn, the less I know.
Me: It irks me when big #tech squanders money on celebrity guests that are completely irrelevant to the context. And right on the heels of a 10% layoff too. How this could possibly make any sense monetarily….
Salesforce: Kumail. Nanjiani.
Me: 😍
Today I heard people very seriously speaking about “reading literacy” and “writing literacy.”
And, hm, I, just, so, hm
I installed Zorin OS on a VM last week. It was nice. So nice I installed it on my laptop tonight.
Am I about to break up with Pop_OS?

@midwesterner the West also gave Russia economic shock therapy in the 1990's which created enough social resentment for a figure like Putin to emerge.
So, as is often the case, #ItsComplicated. The West is not the knight in the shining armor here, and we need to recognize this.
The point is, this is about Ukraine, and we need to make sure Ukrainians are given the agency to deal with this the way they feel they need to.
My friends, on this #ThrowBackThursday I'd like to thank my wife, who served as my eyes, ears, and legs. This is a picture from her youth. I thought she was quite elegant and loved her long hair.
