Do you follow anyone? If so, who? If not, you're in an edge-case for users who haven't yet started following anyone. Follow people. Carefully curate who you follow. Your feed will be exactly what you pick. It's a lot like old

I get up each day, the news gets more insane, I go to work, nobody mentions it. I keep wondering how insane things need to get before Midwest politeness decides to even acknowledge it.

I listened to that episode, by chance, last week. It was well worth the time to listen.

I don’t think that’s fair. The move to x86 was a huge step up from the PowerPC G5s. That said, the move to the M1 was even bigger, so I can relate to the sentiment.

That would include people with views about Substack too, though, right?

They're both glass-inspired effects. If you really want to know the differences, your best bet is probably the WWDC session "Meet Liquid Glass".

Interesting, which company is that, and how reliable is their leadership at follow-through?

That was amusing. It felt like those AI ads that YouTube sometimes feeds me, where a perpetual preamble promises to have a point and to get to it, which might have something to do with toe fungus or restoring virility but you’ll never know

My iPhone 11 Pro is the green one from that year. Still a great phone, although I can feel that it's seriously memory constrained. I'm finally ready to upgrade.

I've heard it expressed as "the last good thing on the internet" many times, but it never occurred to me to interpret that to mean it has attained perfection in some regard. I always took it to mean that it has thus far evad

A staged "carjacking" that the police got lucky enough to "stumble upon" — the "victim" of which just so happened to be the DOGE employee known as "Big Balls" — isn't enough justification for the

Especially once you factor in the lower cost of living (relative to FAANG jobs) in that smaller city.

I would say yes, insofar as the text and SCOTUS interpretations of the constitution count as law, so anything that violates, for example, the separation of powers would be illegal.

My spouse not even recognizing me might have some emotional impact. Didn’t seem the least bit odd.

Interesting to compare this narrative to "A history of 'wokeness'". (Specifically, it's interesting that the "origins" seem to have very little to do with the history.) https://www.vox.com&#x2F

Wouldn't it potentially make it less rare, if it turns out to be an additional mechanism? (Isn't it possible that there'd be multiple paths?)

The phrase "in many ways" is doing a lot of lifting. I wonder: what ways? What details need to be ignored in order for the rest of the sentence to seem plausible?

It's what happens when the average voter has no clue about who to blame about anything.

I love this. Here's another interesting thing I encountered. It's a way of organizing chromatic subsets by brightness https://www.reddit.com/r/musictheory/comments/1etydas/i_made...

Censorship isn’t absent from Twitter. Quite the opposite.

This was a great little article. Very fair summary of the situation. After the demise of Twitter, I first tried Post.news — which had great branding but failed to get the everything-is-a-tweet model right (comments were 2nd class citizens t

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Bluesky behaves like the Twitter of yore where you see only who you follow.

There's another narrative that I've heard about the recent flood of former-X users into Bluesky: a new Terms of Service document goes into effect in about 4 days, giving X ownership of your content with respect to its use in train

Norman D Cook's work is interesting in this context. This is a great talk, if anyone is curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrmnaiyS5EE This thread reminded me of the "Conclusions" slide.
