Disgraceful, as are Sydney's draconian anti-protest laws

I cannot be party to silencing writers, which is why I am resigning as director of Adelaide Writers’ Week | Louise Adler Cancelling the Australian Palestinian author Randa Abdel-Fattah weakens freedom of speech and is the harbinger of a less free nation

What a killer mic drop. Penny-pinching, risk-averse boards and ruining many institutions.

It's insane that so many prominent people and governments use it. There's a cognitive dissonance where they think their use of it is ok even though it's a disaster of a platform.

Is Tahoe really macOS 26 or 16? Apple’s developer websites refer to macOS Tahoe as 16.0. Does that mean it’s not really 26 at all? How to check the version number so you get the answer you want.

I saw this earlier. It's kinda both.

"When built against the 15 SDK or earlier, Tahoe returns 16 for compatibility with previous numbering and all existing apps; when built against the 26.0 SDK, it returns 26.0 for forward compatibility."

They're owned by IGN / Ziff Davis soooo not far off. That said, I've read their stuff on and off for years and they seem good.

I've been with them for years with my own domain and never had any issues. The frontend was pretty janky for a while and it's better now. The Android app is still a bit dodgy but good enough.

Big Tech Backed Trump for Acceleration. They Got a Decel President Instead Effective accelerationists didn’t just accidentally shoot themselves in the foot. They methodically blew off each of their toes with a .50 caliber sniper rifle.

Scathing article about the techno-optimists' self-own. I wish Trump never happened but I hope VCs suffer.

I hate AI art so much, and it's so irresponsible for our major political parties to use it

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other peopleβ€”especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

That was quite an incredible and deeply sad read. These processes need to become both more logical and more human. The most logical solution should be what's best for the participants and their family.

I laugh so hard at the Subway reviews. You've really hit a goldmine here.

Good analysis, thanks. The impact of "generic independents" in polls is one I find the most interesting. Some polls have had a fairly high % where there's no one viable running.

P.S. lol these replies

I found myself inadvertently singing the song in my head recently. I wasn't even eating a Big Egg.

Good to know we can continue to have the same position on Substack as we did before. Seeing more of @ghost.org these days.

Tidal is great. It's very music focused and gives higher royalties (I'll admit they're still low). The quality isn't even a big draw for me, I just like everything else.

I try not to be surprised by user behaviour, as someone who develops software, but my god they always surprise me. It seems like so many people don't know about the Subscriptions page or just don't see it.
