Lol... “You guys wanna DROP some data with me?” 🤓

Attention farming in social media is like rice farming in feudal Japan: every post is a grain, both require endless cultivation for sustenance. #NotAHaiku

Super smart. Spotify is promoting "New Year's Eve mixed playlists¹ ", using their new feature² that lets you control add customize transitions between tracks. 🪩 You can see columns for BPM and key in playlists that have been mixed. (Also note the animated shine on the album artwork) #NewSpotify

There’s something ironic about a book about AI safety, ethics, and society being narrated by Digital Voice Maxwell G.

v1.112 is live! We’re launching Find Friends, a contact import feature that helps you find people you know on Bluesky. Try it! In the mobile app, go to Settings → Find friends from contacts. Read how we took a more secure approach to this than other platforms: bsky.social/about/blog/1...

Code is now a commodity. As the ability to generate software results in its abundance, value shifts to taste, judgment, and orchestration. Meet the Mixologist, Producer, and Architect—three archetypes builders can embody in order to thrive in the AI era:

Meta has acquired Limitless.ai. Instantly Limitless changed its privacy policy and pulled its products from Brazil, China, the European Union, Israel, South Korea, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.

Flickr’s approach to data portability is downright hostile.

First time I’ve seen a full-screen notification takeover on Spotify desktop. Isn’t this what their Updates feed is for? 🔔 (Weval’s great and all, this just seems a bit obnoxious) #NewSpotify
