They also fired a whole bunch of software engineers (including everyone working on Servo), and then massively boosted their executives' salaries, so that was certainly something.

I really enjoy reading this blog in general, but I do agree with you that it absolutely has that AI-assisted-writing style. Looking at this and other posts, they often feel like if one prompted ChatGPT with something like "please write

Aside from vaguely implying it’s some kind of media player that plays content from the internet, that doesn’t tell a whole lot. Some screenshots would be a nice addition to their page.

From reading though the document, it seems like most of the requests are to enable proper interoperability with accessory devices, which seems reasonable and largely in line with the intent of the rules. Non-Apple smartwatches are severely

Corrected link: https://www.wsj.com/tech/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-donates-1-mil... It appears that the submitted link misspelled the word "inaugural" leading to the 404.

Agreed -- I think things would have gone much better for them if they had been upfront and transparent about the incident, instead of the sketchy cover-up.

A lab leak doesn’t necessarily mean that it was created in a lab; it could also be a natural zoonotic virus that was actively being studied and accidentally infected one or more researchers.

It is a travesty that western countries haven't banned TikTok altogether.

Can you name anyone who was in ostensibly favor of free speech, and then, when given the opportunity to censor people, didn't seize it? The obvious example would be Elon, the "free speech absolutist" whose principles only las

Remember, no one is actually in favor of free speech. Everyone, and I mean everyone , regardless of their personal political views, wants to silence people they disagree with. I suspect this is some kind of trait inherent to human psycholo

I’m glad to see a new platform that isn’t completely locked down, allowing analysis like this. The trend toward everything being a walled garden is unfortunate.

Fair point! Ditto for Reddit, I suppose. Though, wasn’t Twitter’s financial situation starting to become somewhat dire toward the end of its pre-Musk life?

Agreed about that they nailed the UX for BlueSky in terms of “best possible Twitterlike”. That said, my biggest concern is how they plan to make money. With BlueSky being completely open at the moment, there is effectively no possible monet

Fundamentally the issue is one of battery tech. If you can build some kind of magical super-battery that can charge quickly and has 900 miles of rage, as Toyota claims to be doing, then all of those issues magically disappear. That said, th

Free speech absolutism! Marketplace of ideas! What's that? You want to speak favorably about a competing social network? You must be censored, it's for your own good! (I assume this is part of their ongoing effort to block people

Winamp 3 was a total rewrite of Winamp using a completely bespoke fully skinnable GUI system. All Winamp 3 skins were what would eventually be called "modern" skins. However, Winamp 3 also had performance issues, and ultimately th

Weirdly selective regulation that punishes one company arbitrarily while ignoring others feels like a step in the wrong direction. We need actual laws about this, not various capricious enforcement of haphazard existing regulations.

It really feels like the DOJ has it out for Google here. Apple's behavior is far more monopolistic, and Microsoft is no saint either.

Hah, I missed that! That said, that does illustrate my point in a way; it's not clear what the site is based on a quick glance. I had assumed it was a resume based on the "Hi, I'm [etc]" part at the beginning of the ch

It's definitely an interesting concept, but I'd be concerned about the lack of any kind of visual information hierarchy. What is the user's eye's supposed to be drawn to? I could imagine a scenario where a recruiter fl

This exactly. An independent Chrome’s best path toward financial sustainability is closing down the source code and selling everyone’s browsing data to the highest bidder. We all like to have a high minded ideal of some kind of wonderful fu

It seems clear to me that DOGE's true purpose is to sideline Elon and Vivek by giving them a meaningless badge.

Agreed. These sorts of accommodations are heavily abused in academic settings already. For example, I’ve seen situations where a parent says something like “my son has a disability that just happens to mean he should get a bunch of advantag
