I’ll bite on this one. If you don’t want sender-fetched previews, why not just send the link and let the receiver’s client (auth and) fetch previews after decryption?

Love that it worked so well for you! What do you think made it work as a daily driver for you as opposed to other users?

Of course not, they’re flat earthers

To be fair to Steven, solving new and big problems is hard. Hindsight is 20/20 but shutting your eyes tight and ignoring all the internal feedback is 0/20. The massive leadership failure here is siloing all the teams and sidelining people who actually understand why the fuck anyone uses your product

The hopeful bright spot here is that in an industry where dipshits fail upwards into being charge of larger and more important product areas, occasionally the person responsible gets shown the door and whiles away their days writing self fanfic substacks

Wow dude. A 2 decade planned transition including a high performing emulation layer worked out better than just shitting out XAML placeholders that lack feature parity with no backstop. Too bad everyone working on Windows at the time didn’t point this out!

“Apple, seeing these same problems (remember the “I’m a Mac” commercials) starting with OS X, spent the next two decades moving to new OS APIs for apps. It was not quick, but they moved the ecosystem and removed old code. Unlike Windows up until recently, where you could still run Excel 4…”

“Where we were wrong was in moving the ecosystem to a new app model fast enough that was safer, more reliable, more power efficient. A lot of people rebelled about this. They wanted the old Windows app model.”

Imagine leading the product direction of windows and forgetting back compat

239. Mac Neo and my afternoon of reflection and melancholy I'm completely blown away by Mac Neo. It made me think a lot about what we tried to accomplish with Windows 8 more than a dozen years ago. Being early is no different than being wrong…mostly.

How crazy that when the only job qualification is “having access to resources” the people who have those jobs are frequently dummies with access to resources

If there is a gospel that can redeem, reconcile, and sanctify, it is a very different one than the one being taught in these churches. And as Jesus Christ himself said, a good tree does not bear bad fruit. May it one day finally die

The Southern Baptist Convention (arguably the moral and theological forebears of modern evangelicalism) was formed in 1845 in order to baptize as holy and God-ordained the institution of slavery

I spent 30 years in the movement. I’ve been on mission trips, staffed camps, led bible studies, and planted churches. I’m ashamed to admit it took me as long as it did (and the emergence of Trumpism) to observe that this has always been the case

The purpose of the Evangelical church is to be a permission structure for ignorant bigots to immiserate minorities they hate and pat themselves on the back for doing so

When you don't know how anything works everything is 1) a new discovery & 2) a conspiracy against you.

As usual, the value in cryptographic agility isn't ability to choose a different algorithm, it's the ability to reject and deprecate an old and insecure algorithm.

If you took "sharia law" and removed the dietary restrictions Republicans would adopt it as their platform.
