Podcast appearances and mentions of stephen wilhite

Da sind wir also. In Musks Mahlstrom, täglich neu angerührt, überwürzt und halbroh. Als ich Mitte November einen Blogbeitrag begann, der vor allem eine emotionale Momentaufnahme sein sollte, war mir nicht klar, wie chaotisch die kommenden Tage und Wochen in der Causa Twitter noch werden sollten. Jeden Tag, teilweise mehrfach, schreibt Musk selbst ein neues Kapitel der Seifenoper rund um dieses Medium/diese Website/dieses Social Network und inszeniert sich selbst irgendwo zwischen Troll, unbeholfenem Möchtegernkomiker und eiskalt kalkulierendem Geschäftsmann. Das Ganze ist so faszinierend und verstörden, dass Dennis Horn und Gavin Karlmeier sich in einem (nahezu?) täglichen Podcast ausschließlich mit diesem Thema befassen: „Haken dran – das Twitter-Update“ wurde dank dieser simplen wie anstrengenden Mission zu einem viel zitierten und verdienten Erfolg. Grund genug, Gavin Karlmeier spontan via Twitter (obviously) zum Gespräch zu laden, das den Hauptteil der zu diesem Blogpost gehörenden Audioebene bildet. Es war mir ein Anliegen und ein Vergnügen mit Gavin über diesen Clusterfuck an Gesamtsituation zu sprechen und ich hoffe Ihr genießt das Gespräch ebenso. Hier nun aus historischen Gründen der Originalblogpost: Calm your tits, Dominik. It's just a website. Guten Morgen Kinners. Ich bin heute Nacht gegen 2 Uhr morgens aufgewacht. Keine Ahnung ob es die Verdauung, die Harnblase, Existenzangst oder die Gesamtsituation war. Es ist 2022 und ich bin Ü40, es ist ein Wunder, dass ich überhaupt schlafen kann. Vielleicht war es aber auch mein sechster Sinn für Social Media: Was sich seit dem Kauf von Twitter durch Elon Musk abgezeichnet hatte, kickt langsam in den Super Pursuit Mode: Musk nimmt Kurs auf den Eisberg um zu schauen wie unsinkbar das Schiff Twitter ist. Also: Seine eigentliche Absicht ist seit Kurzem „Twitter 2.0“ umzusetzen und da man dafür „sehr hardcore“ sein muss, hat er Mitarbeitern das tolle Ultimatum gestellt, doch härter und mehr zu arbeiten (vermutlich bei gleichem Gehalt) oder gegen Abfindung das Unternehmen zu verlassen. Keine Ahnung in welchem Alphamalebullshitberaterseminar er solche Verhandlungstaktiken gelernt hat aber seine Motivationsdiarrhö kam bei einigen Hundert der noch verbliebenen Mitarbeiter (er hatte zuvor schon circa die Hälfte gefeuert) nicht so gut an. Mittlerweile sind so viele Arbeitskräfte weg oder werden es bald sein, dass einige ehemalige Mitarbeiter überzeugt sind, dass die Technik der Platform bald anfangen wird zu bröckeln. (Ich habe hier bisher größtenteils diesen sehr guten Artikel von The Verge paraphrasiert und kommentiert: https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/17/23465274/hundreds-of-twitter-employees-resign-from-elon-musk-hardcore-deadline) Die Tatsache, dass die Nutzer von Twitter aktuell natürlich vermehrt auf Twitter den potentiellen Untergang von Twitter vertwittern wird die Twitter-Server nicht gerade weniger stressen. Es könnte also sein, dass wir einmal mehr dabei zusehen werden, wie ein soziales Netzwerk zerrissen wird. Da Twitter für mich seit geraumer Zeit eine Art zweite digitale Heimat ist, ist dies wohl Anlass genug für einen kurzen Rückblick. Das wird heute in Teilen ein wenig überemotional. Verzeiht es mir, ich bin ein alter Mann ohne Schlafrhythmus. Wer mir auf Twitter folgt, kann dort nachlesen, dass ich bereits seit September 2009 auf der Microblogging-Platform (hahaha) unterwegs bin. Nur stimmt das so nicht. Meinen ersten Account hatte ich schon im März des gleichen Jahres, der war und ist aber ausschließlich englischsprachig. 2009 war auch das Jahr in dem Kevin Körber und ich gemeinsam mit dem Podcasten anfingen. Die MedienKuH war von Anfang an ein Podcast, der neben seinen Hauptthemen (Film, Funk und Fernsehen) auch Twitter thematisierte und dessen Twitter-Account wir immer wieder nutzten um klassische Medien zu kommentieren und um mit Hörern in den Austausch zu treten. Da auch die Accounts diverser Fernsehsender mit uns interagierten wirkten wir schnell relevanter als wir vielleicht sind. Naja, nicht unsere Schuld, da seid Ihr selbst seit Jahren drauf reingefallen. Ganz persönlich hatte ich einfach Freude daran, ohne Fallhöhe sehr schlechte bis mäßig witzige Kurztexte auf Twitter zu schreiben, GIFs zu posten (GIFs sind das wichtigste Medium des 21 Jahrhunderts und egal was Stephen Wilhite gesagt hat, man spricht es mit einem harten G aus. Außerdem: Der Blog. Don't at me.) und mit Menschen zu quatschen. Den Außenstehenden Twitter zu erklären, hat bis heute nicht richtig funktioniert. „If you have to ask, you will never know“ ist hier wie so oft die Wahrheit. Was natürlich auch damit zusammenhängt, dass man von 10 unterschiedlichen Menschen 27,5 absolut andere Antworten auf die Fragen „Was ist Twitter?“, „Wie funktioniert es?“, „Was magst Du daran“ und „Wie nutzt Du es?“ bekommt. An dieser Stelle drücke ich auch meine ewige Hassliebe für Nutzer der Platform aus, die „Du hast Twitter nicht verstanden“ und „Twitter ist kein Chat“ gepostet haben. Wie Sprache, entwickeln soziale Medien nunmal Eigendynamiken und Nischen in denen Dinge jeweils etwas anders laufen als man sich das vorstellt und anders als es vielleicht mal anfing. Letzteres sieht man auch an Accounts, die auf Twitter einen großen Hype mit daraus resultierendem Business mitgemacht haben – Bücher, TV-Shows etc. und jetzt: Tweets des gleichen Stils, der gleichen Qualität und niemanden kümmert es. Mein Lieblingsfakt unter den absurden Twitter-Fakten: der Account „Shit My Dad Says“ wurde so erfolgreich, dass eine Sitcom mit William Shatner in der Hauptrolle produziert wurde. Shatner promotet jetzt übrigens irgendwelchen Crypto-NFT-Bullshit auf Twitter. Nun. Ganz persönlich und beruflich (kann man bei mir ja nie wirklich trennen) habe ich so viele gute und wichtige Dinge auf auf Twitter über- und erlebt, ich weiß gar nicht, wo ich anfangen soll. Kurz zusammengefasst: Twitter hat sowohl Jobnetzwerke als auch Dating-Plattformen (auch wenn das damals sowieso vor Tinder war. Ich richte hier auch ausdrücklich Grüße von meiner Frau aus.) für mich komplett überflüssig gemacht. Die erfolgreichsten Bewerbungsgespräche und Jobgelegenheiten sind über Twitter entstanden. Ohne Twitter kein Radio Nukular und alles was danach kam – klar, man kann natürlich immer argumentieren, dass die entsprechende Kommunikation auch über Facebook, Email, Telefon etc. hätte stattfinden können. Hat sie aber nicht. Darüber hinaus gibt es auch Momente, die so typisch für Twitter sind, dass ich sie mir auf anderen Plattformen kaum vorstellen kann: Ein direkter Austausch mit Neil Gaiman über unsere liebsten Versionen des Cohen-Songs „Tower of Song“ oder sein Porridge-Rezept. Interviews mit Tommy Krappweis oder Kevin Smith, die nur über Twitter-Interaktionen zu Stande kamen. (Im Falle von Smith wird mir auch zuweilen vorgeworfen, ich hätte ihn ja quasi erpresst. Verstehe das Argument aber teile es nicht, bester Beleg: ein zweites Interview, dem er ganz ohne Twitter-Kampagne zugesagt hatte). Aber selbst wenn ich Twitter nur passiv und privat (guter Buchtitel) genutzt hätte, hätte mir die Vogelseite einiges geboten. Der Mix aus schnellen Nachrichten, relativer Gleichberechtigung von kleinen Accounts neben größeren (die wiederum die kleinen Accounts durch einen einzigen Mausklick nach vorne bringen können), persönlichen und professionelleren Tweets… da ist wirklich eine süchtig machende Digitalmaschine entstanden – for better or worse. Twitter ist außerdem wirklich mitverantwortlich für oder zumindest direkt verknüpft mit so vielen Erfahrungen, die ich in den letzten 13 (!) Jahren machen durfte, dass ich gar nicht anders kann, als ein wenig nostalgisch und traurig zu werden. Auch hier gilt natürlich „your experience may vary“ und auch „wie man in den Wald ruft…“. Viele die das hier lesen, werden gar nichts oder nur wenig positives mit Twitter verbinden und ja: Die Dynamiken der Plattform haben auch viel Bullshit, toxisches Verhalten und buchstäblichen Faschismus befördert. Zeitgleich hat Twitter auch Minoritäten einen Platz gegeben, in dem man sich miteinander austauschen und gleichzeitig Menschen erreichen konnte, die man über die eigene Lebensrealität aufklären konnte. Nicht Betroffene konnten beispielsweise am Alltag von Menschen mit Behinderung teilhaben. Oder mit Menschen mitfühlen, die unter diktatorischen Regimen leiden. Diese direkte Teilhabe hat viele von uns ein Stück empathischer gemacht. Wenn aber diese menschlichen Bereiche von Twitter auf lupenreine Nazis oder Trolle treffen, wird es unschön. Ohne Blocken, Muten und ausgewähltes Folgen geht da nichts. Ein bisschen wie im wahren Leben. Auch meine Block- und Mute-Listen sind sehr, sehr lang. Auch weil ein negativer Aspekt von Twitter eindeutig der ist, dass Trolltum von einigen als Sport betrieben wird und das Resultat auf der anderen Seite des Bildschirms dann ein gesteigerter Blutdruck ist. Das muss man nicht haben. Ich kann mich allerdings glücklich schätzen, dass 99% meiner Follower mich auch wie einen Menschen behandeln. Ich bin mit kleineren und größeren Fehlern schon das eine oder andere Mal an einem Shitstorm vorbei geschlittert, der nicht passiert ist, weil meine Follower vorsichtig nachgefragt oder auf etwas hingewiesen haben, was ich übersehen hatte. Daher allen 10.000 Bots und 3.220 Menschen (Anmerkung aus dem Korrekturlesen: Hier sieht man den kleinen Exodus-Effekt von Musk, aktuell sind es fast 200 Follower weniger), die mir bis dato auf Twitter folgen ein dickes Danke: War ne wilde Zeit bisher und das insbesondere dank Euch. Ich sage bewusst bisher, denn obwohl ich gerade Twitter dank Musk beim Implodieren zuschaue, zeigt die extrem produktive Stimmung gerade einen Aspekt von Twitter, der die Plattform so einzigartig macht: Man hat das Gefühl, sich auf einer Party zu befinden, die bald von der Polizei aufgelöst werden wird, weil der Hausbesitzer gewechselt hat während die Party läuft. Der neue Besitzer hielt es für eine gute Idee, Teile des Hauses anzuzünden und eine Lockerungssprengung im Keller vorzunehmen. Statt an der Tür für den VIP-Raum wie gewohnt eine Ausweiskontrolle vorzunehmen, wollte er Tickets verkaufen und die Musik ist auch schlechter geworden. Aber in der Küche haben sich die Menschen zusammengefunden, die seit über 10 Jahren die Seele der Party sind. Hier werden zwischen Snacks und Getränken die besten Geschichten und die schönsten Witze erzählt. Gemeinsam wartet man mit Galgenhumor auf das Morgengrauen und die Antwort auf die Frage: Steht das Haus morgen noch? Wird es explodieren? Erneut verkauft? Oder Stein für Stein abgetragen, bis nur noch ein Limonadenstand übrig ist? So oder so: Jeder legt schon mal ein Handtuch auf die Liege drüben bei Mastodon, für den Fall. Mich findet Ihr dort unter: @dominikhammes@mendeddrum.org sagt doch hallo.

Retro computing and gaming chat looking at how the prototype for PONG sold for quite a pretty penny. We also mark the sad passing of the inventory of the GIF, Stephen Wilhite. We wonder if controllers covered in fur need much upkeep and take a look at the unreleased Commodore 64 Games Machine. All of this and our community question of the week.

Stephen Wilhite ha inventato il formato di interscambio grafico, ovvero la Gif. Ne ha deciso lo standard, come chiamarla, ma non poteva immaginare quale incredibile strumento di comunicazione sarebbe diventato, espressione artistica e regina delle chat.

#069: Jimmy Buffet's resort empire just benefited from a puff piece in The New Yorker. Are "apolitical" residents of Margaritaville better than the openly Trump chuds of The Villages? And how can we trust a magazine that pumped the Iraq War, Elizabeth Holmes and Chuck Lorre, and is now cheerleading for a war with Russia? RIP: Wall Street goon Ned Johnson, GIF creator Stephen Wilhite, war criminal Madeline Albright and rock star Taylor Hawkins.

This week on The World’s Greatest Comic Book Podcast™: We remember Stephen Wilhite and Taylor Hawkins. Jamie Lee Curtis is cosplaying a World of Warcraft character. Anthony Mackie is opening his own film studio. William Shatner has an “ultimate” fan experience. In Moving Pictures: Hugh Grant could be the next Doctor Who. Nova is officially […]

With Gareth Myles and Ted SalmonJoin us on Mewe RSS Link: https://techaddicts.libsyn.com/rss iTunes | Google Podcasts | Stitcher | Tunein | Spotify  Amazon | Pocket Casts | Castbox | PodHubUK   Feedback and Contributions: Ian Barton on Google Photos Bug Nobody is able to download Google Photos Without Losing location data from the EXIF. I was going to use rclone to make a backup copy of all my photos uploaded to Google (a topic we touched on in the last show). However, it seems if you try to do this, Google strips all the location information from the photos' EXIF data. This is a bug that was reported to Google more than three years ago. (I'll maybe try Google Takeout and see if it does the same.)   John Husband on Linux and Chromebook update Yesterday I decided to turn Linux on my LENOVO IdeaPad Duet and have a play. I am not a Linux expert but have a basic understanding of how Linux works. Using the terminal I have installed Libre Office and Gimp and both packages loaded with no issues. Libre Office Writer runs well but I have not fully tested Gimp. Once you have downloaded the software it places them in a Linux app folder on the desktop where you can easily access them.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois declined an invitation to be a guest on Fox News' Tucker Carlson Tonight and called for him to be "held to account" for his pro-Putin takes in the early part of the Russia's invasion of Ukraine. A teacher in NC has resigned after video of his outburst against students made the rounds on the internet. Some claim it was racially motivated as he yelled, he was "done playing with your idiots" and made reference to them ending up on welfare. Gov. DeSantis has signed SB 1054 into law in Florida, which will require high school students to pass a financial literacy class before they graduate. Stephen Wilhite, the man who brought you the Graphic Interchange Format, or GIF, has died at 74.

The Warm-Up Welcome to a new installment of Hardly Focused, featuring Acc, Jack, and Mike! Citing a desire to maintain what little mental health he has left, Jack has finally deactivated his Facebook account. Acc himself is happy to finally return to working in his office, sparking a discussion about how COVID is now just an “elephant in the room.” Just Fart! In this segment, Jack tells Acc and Mike of a Brazilian singer named Pocah. Having recently gone viral, Pocah was admitted to the hospital for holding in her own gas, feeling “ashamed” to let it out in front of her boyfriend. So sparks a long but comical discussion about flatulence, for it's a scientific fact that farts are funny. Is It “GIF” or “JIF?” Jack announces in this segment to Acc and Mike the death of Stephen Wilhite, the creator of the GIF. Being the creator, Mr. Wilhite confirmed that it's pronounced “jif,” though its pronunciation has been infamously debated. As it was a breeding ground for GIF images, Acc and Jack discuss “chan” boards like 4chan, which they feel has lost its relevancy over the years. Wrapping up this episode, Jack features for Acc and Mike audio of an old woman singing Rob Zombie's “Dragula” at a karaoke bar. This sparks a discussion about fun old ladies like Shirley Curry, known as the “Skyrim Grandma.” Listen for her voice in The Elder Scrolls VI, hopefully launching sometime in the next 20 years!
