I can’t believe no one wants to interview me about what it feels like to have stepped out on Apple and taken them to the cleaners over their god damn butterfly keyboard. It’s not too late though https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/27/23740087/apple-macbook-butterfly-keyboard-settlement-final-approval

Good from @cwarzel.bsky.social that raises the question why some reporters who would never post on Rumble or Truth Social keep posting on Twitter the same way they always have https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2023/05/elon-musk-ron-desantis-2024-twitter/674149/

This is a great chat with Sundar Pichai and @reckless.bsky.social, in which they both agree that the open web is great and also the open web sucks sometimes https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/12/23720731/google-io-2023-exclusive-sundar-pichai-search-generative-experience-ai-microsoft-bing-chatgpt

when lil jon said "aww skeet skeet got game" he was referring to the rise of bluesky

I have almost bought a terrifying number of domains recently, the future is gonna be very expensive for me

I'm calling it right now, Bluesky is going to develop a culture where people are flexing domain names. Like oh shit this mf got a 3 letter site. Or people gonna have the most ridiculous names. Idk it's gonna be wild. I've never wanted nick.com so bad in my life... fuckin nickelodeon
