I think as Ricky wrote last week [1], they should augment Magic Links or other auth methods. There are some positives about Magic Links for sure (though I don't know if making your email an even stronger attack vector is necessarily on

I think this is really great as a response to 404's post last week. I love 404 but I'm as annoyed by Magic Links as OP for the same reasons they mention. Ricky Mondello wrote a really great blog last week[1] about how passkeys, as

Thank you for building this! I’ve loved using this over the last two months or so and really appreciate the work you’ve put into it. I’ve been a very happy iTerm2 user and support the dev on GitHub Sponsors (and I’ll continue to do that), b

I mean, they did face repercussions. The DoJ reached settlements with 8 different companies and there was a civil penalty too. Whether the repercussions were enough is a valid question, but Jobs was dead by the time the civil action was rul

I don’t think we can even reasonably talk about Palm circa 2007 and iPhone 2007 in the same sentence. PalmOS was an aging clusterfuck that was a PDA with cellular glommed onto it (and the good Treo’s of the era ran Windows Mobile, which w

But the Foleo was by all accounts a bad device (when Palm enthusiasts were able to use obtain nearly final release Foleo’s years later, this was vindicated by even the most strident of Palm fanboys). The price was ridiculous ($600 before a

Yes. The first A-series designs launched while Jobs was still alive. That said, from what I understand, a lot of the team was hired after. So it’s certainly not an indicator one way or another about the post-Jobs talent/innovation pipe

It’s not a PR stunt at all. If there is any PR benefit, it is totally incidental and not at all planned. The reality is that a core part of how the company’a product works is broken with the latest version. That means that customers of tool

Absolutely not. First, the light seal would be different for each person, making for a subpar experience (an experience you’re paying for). Second, given the germs and potential disease spread via the face/eyes, this seems like a terri

I think the bigger problem would be, would they be willing to invest the engineering resources to do all that. If the crux of the argument is that WP Engine doesn’t give back, I wonder how likely it would be that they’d be willing to do tha

I love this so much! Great work, Naya! Incidentally, I was creating an image for a slide for a talk a few weeks ago, showing off HTML circa 1996 and decided to do it in Windows 95 (which is what I used to write my first web pages when I was

I think the assessment, harsh as it might be, is fair. Morgan Ames' excellent 2019 book on the OLPC project, "The Charisma Machine" [1], does a really good job looking at all the things that went wrong in the project. There w

This is from a MSCHF drop from 2021. I bought them all, of course, and they are some of my favorite stupid little toys ever.

Absolutely agree. Again, I’m so grateful other members of the community heard my kvetching and shared my outrage and shared the news so we could fix the byline issue.

Automattic offers this as a service. I think it’s $35,000 — so not too much, but probably out of range for a lot of places. This is what I said to 404 Media yesterday [1]: > “It’s gross. We have decades of this stuff built up and it keep

(Putting the very funny pun aside) No, as the person who is responsible for this story becoming “a thing” and one of the people whose identities was misappropriated, I’m mad at both. I’m mad at AOL/Verizon/Yahoo/Apollo Global

(Christina Warren here) From what I can glean, it looks like they took a dump of the site from Archive.org and got a lot of the blog slugs, kept the headlines (or made very superficial changes), assigned a random writer name to those storie

Funnily enough, I’m in the middle of a Newsradio rewatch. First time I’ve watched the show in years and it still holds up. As Bill (Phil) would say, “good times.”

Genuinely, same! And I knew intrinsically that that was wrong (The Times uses or used WordPress in some capacity), but I thought “maybe it was a weird straggler” — but nope. Turns out the art installation I’ve seen countless times had a nam

But to push back, if you’re talking about a 5 minute task, that you’re using once every few months, a free trial timed the way you are asking, might mean you never end up needing to purchase a license. I understand that that is useful for y

Incidentally, and I realize the appeal for the show is significantly less if you aren’t a teenage girl (as I was when I watched it), but Felicity is excellent and she’s excellent in it. Like, beyond excellent. Like, there was the acting all

I agree we need to do that, but I would argue at this point, the best option for the people without the skills/interest is probably buying a Synology. It would be awesome if there was a free OSS solution that people could just follow i

I've been evaluating it alongside Cosmos and Umbrel, in addition to tools I've used before like CapRover. I like it but I don't have any strong feelings yet. I will probably do some sort of writeup after I do more evaluations

Absolutely agreed. And your observation is the same I’ve seen with many of my artist friends. Everyone went from “fuck this Firefly shit” to “I need all of this yesterday.” Canva already uses AI in really smart ways and if they can extend t
