Call me a doomer but with 17 years of entrenchment and no corporate buyin iOS will never be fully interoperable. The DMA is great but it’s the sum of a bazillion little things that makes a product feel at home. Death by a thousand cuts.

Using wired headphones bc my wireless ones went for a swim. First, wired headphones are a PITA. I don't like the tether. I miss ANC. I don't like the weight of the wire. But oddly, they sound just as good, maybe better. Definitely better than the wireless ones before an equalizer. They cost $20.

@logfallen.bsky.social i'm trying to reach you any way, do you still have the Piglen 1.16 downloads? the mega links are dead and your discord is gone

As I correctly predicted, fare evasion increased. The MBTA says that “a loss of $30m threatens a lifeline,” and that “every dollar is important to us.” If that really was so, you wouldn’t have spent $1b to lose an additional $30m each year forever. Free the fucking T. boehs.org/node/free-th...

Hitler came to power during poor economic conditions - when people are desperate, they will allow and/or participate in great atrocities. Trump is *creating* those conditions. What will someone allow if they think it means they can feed their family or keep a roof over their head?

In sum, tangled feels like a solution in need of a problem. GitHub offers a thin social layer on top of a decentralized protocol. If GitHub is threatened, decentralized alternatives already exist. Afaik tangled has no discernible value-add over these alternatives, other than “wow atproto”.

Judge Gives Trump Administration 3 Days To Return Her From El Salvador Prison

That's the thing--you don't die from shame, it just keeps going until you become inured to it, then you cling to it because its all you have left.

Morgan & Morgan told me that it is illegal to transport a gorilla in the backseat of my car. Is it really? boehs.org/node/weird-l...

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

If you’re in the US federal government and facing blocked news web sites on gov’t hardware — apropos of nothing I might remind folks about Google’s official proxy browser (aka Google Translate). translate.google.com?op=websites Works great when you translate a language into the same language.

Yeah, you can probably manufacture viral content by playing into current trends, but that generally means forgoing what you care about, riding off fads, and becoming unauthentic. People come to social media looking for short hits of dopamine, whereas RSS users come looking for longform

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

I forgot about the fucking dorkscolds here. “CiTe Ur sOuRcEs” Um somebody sent me a text of a photo with zero context or attribution. You may be shocked to learn I am neither a student writing a paper, nor a debate team member, nor a fellow journalist. I am using the internet while shitting.
