And here I was, innocent, excited to read about a new paradigm for thread management, and wondering why I never knew that wired ran articles that technical.

Now I am cynical and jaded. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

I too was hoping for some deep zen of multiprocessing, but then saw the wired.com domain.

This reminds me of an occurrence when I was around ten to twelve years old and in the shopping mall with my grandmother.

There was a person with a clip board hanging around in the concourse area who asked something to the effect of "I was wondering if you'd like to answer a survey about your genes?"

I excitedly agreed and we were led to a small interview room with a table.

Their questions started out with "What is the brand of pants that you have on?"

I was confused about this bizarre and seemingly orthogonal question as to why we had agreed to be interviewed, and asked my grandmother to look at the tag for me.

It took a few more questions like this before I realized the homophone confusion I had made in understanding the initial solicitation.

I wouuldn't join anything run by Zuckerberg. Don't forget, USA federal government agencies had staff full time working with Dorsey and Zuckerberg to restrict discussions and posts related to federal elections, the covid pandemic, and other matters. This is currently before for Senate committees and the courts. I recommend never doing anything which benefits those companies.

Twitter is the only one which exposed this stood against this showing that the governments have Zuck by the balls, but not Elon.
