Techxit: The UK Declares Its Exit from the High-Tech Startup World

No one in their right mind would now want to start up a high-tech company in the UK. With a last-minute addition to the Online Safety Bill (OSB), the UK government made it clear that startups are no longer welcome in the UK.

What’s the Internet Like Today?

Every day as I get my son ready for daycare, I recite seven words: “Hey Google, what’s the weather like today?” The results from this now-‘ritual’ search dictate what he’ll wear, what type of extra clothes I will pack, and whether we’ll need a jacket for the bike ride.

Tux Machines Officially Abandons Third Party Sites/Networks (Twitter, Mastodon, Diaspora), Please Use RSS and IRC Instead

posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 28, 2023,
updated May 28, 2023

THE Web site Tux Machines is turning 19 very shortly. It expanded to Gemini (with GemText and Gemini Protocol) last year and it's doing very well. Uptime improved and the style of posting improves over time, e.g. links contained inside the cited/quoted portions. We expect further improvements by the time the site turns 20.

Tux Machines has also reached the conclusion that social control media is a waste of time (all off it: Twitter, Mastodon, Diaspora et cetera). It is mostly a waste of time trying to 'fix' it time each time APIs change. Accordingly, no more updates will be published except in this site, the Gemini capsule, and the respective RSS feeds (for Gemini and for the Web).

To be clear, we still have IRC for social interactions in real time. We advise readers who want real-time updates and feedback to join us in IRC, not "follow" us in some external site that we do not and cannot control.
