I love substack. You guys have been doing a lot for the info landscape to return to the blogsphere. But I would love you even more if there was dark mode, I want to read in bed! -sincerely a huge fan of your platform

I wonder if there could be some standard at the device level with copy/paste and signing/verifying that you did not or the source from where you did copy from?

I agree! The top 7 links are usually all ads anyway, or low quality content like you mentioned. I tend to use Bing (not much better) but only switch to Google for getting scores, e.g. 'world cup' to see the current games. Seems li

This is a great summary of what I've read so far. I haven't read any of Levine's coverage but this is certainly a better breakdown than the NYT piece.

The command palette is a feature I've been enjoying and wishing I could use in chrome on my work laptop. Another is using 'shift-cmd-c' to copy the current URL, small feature but one of my favorites! I don't use easels b

I can see Arc somewhat doing this with their "boosts" feature. I imagine they will eventually have something like a marketplace for these, e.g. youtube/twitter without the distracting sidebars. But to your point the core brow

Arc is a refreshing change after using Chrome, Brave, and Firefox. My favorite feature which any of these browsers could copy though is the command palette and copying the current URL with cmd-shift-c. I'm excited for the Boosts that t

My sister is very into crystals, actually works at a shop financed by some billionaire's daughter. Every now and then she likes to remind me of that most of our screens are made out of quartz, and highlights the associated qualities of

I feel like for many of my friends who aren't in tech their primary hobby is media consumption. TV and film certainly enabled this in the beginning, but the internet helped 100x it.

This is terrible and makes me think of the unknown consequences that may occur from the death of an insect species, who knows. Side note: recently moved to the northeast and it has been fascinating seeing the city collectively come together

This is it for me. My background is in design so I'm a novice when it comes to any development. But setting things up via command line confuses me to hell.

Exhalation by Ted Chiang. About halfway through this, kind of like a novel form of black mirror (although less dystopian imo). Full of interesting short stories, always thought provoking and entertaining.

There's a short story called the Lifecycle of Software Objects. It introduces the idea of platform wars, e.g. competition between various metaverse worlds. I see this playing out with Horizon, maybe Roblox, Epic, etc. Things are mostly

I think some refer to this as the dead internet theory, e.g. AI content creation becomes the majority of media on the internet instead of humans posting (may be wrong in my explanation but think that's the premise). It's scary to

Looks like a remarkable competitor? Wonder how it compares. I wonder how far, if ever, we are from a successful e-ink phone or laptop. I know some exist today but I wonder if they could ever gain size-able market share.

I find it somewhat humorous based on their name that they're losing exposure to Stable Diffusion, an actual open source alternative. Although they created a lot of hype with their waitlist strategy. I'm personally partial to Midjo
