I'm excited for the MacBook Neo from the perspective of it being a reasonably priced Safari/WebKit testing machine.
I imagine they'll be cheap second-hand as well due to the education market.
The lower-end specs won't be an issue for testing either. Maybe a benefit, even.

It seems we can now customize the select element, right? right?!

The internet started going downhill when we removed the under construction gifs.
this RAM crisis feels like it’s going to ruin consumer electronics over the next decade. Bloomberg reports that Sony is considering pushing the PS6 release to 2028 or even 2029 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I’ve talking about 2026 being the year of the website, so I’m actually doing it now. I’m completely redesigning and re-building my personal website and doing it all in the open, so I hope you’ll follow along.

✏️ I'm back to building my own digital music collection
a new blog post, and I'm curious how others do this!

working on a piece about Pebble and its ecosystem versus what supplanted it and put together this header image of a handful of apps/faces and it just makes me irrationally angry at Google and Apple for how badly they've both blown cultivating ecosystems of wearable software
We’re entering the age of AI slop that people believe en masse.
This post is 100% fake and probably AI generated. All made up. Yet massive number of upvotes, views and shares.
Journalist @caseynewton.bsky.social got in touch with the “whistleblower.” The guy faked all “evidence” with AI…
A post from “juanbuis” saying “to commemorate alan dye moving from apple to meta, here’s one of his best quotes” and the quote text is on a liquid glass background making it totally illegible
lmao
Variation on the XKCD 2347 graphic of software building on each other, showing very unstable tower, featuring sharks biting undewater cables, unpaid opensource developers, AWS, Cloudflare, AI, Microsoft, left-pad, v8, WASM and it is all almost falling apart, but not actually.
If #XKCD 2347 was made today …
(via social.linux.pizza/@latenightow...)
Stack of blocks labeled, all modern digital infrastructure. A ratchet tipping over the entire stack is labeled AI. A load bearing pillar is labeled unpaid open source development. Another label is AWS, and Cloudflare and Unpaid Open Source Developers.
Extremely upset that a throw-away XKCD joke somehow became the organizing principle for the Internet.
Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)
WALT MOSSBERG is walking through a convention hall at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas when a man starts screaming at him. The screamer, Hugh Panero, blames Mossberg for his company's recent problems: falling stock price, a sudden plunge in consumer interest. Mossberg is annoyed but hardly intimidated. As the author of the weekly "Personal Technology" column in The Wall Street Journal, he's used to dealing with disgruntled execs. He lets Panero shout. A crowd is gathering. Finally, Mossberg yells back, "I don't give a fuck about your stock price!"
I think about this Walt story every day but some days a lot more than others
Date: Monday, January 13, 1992, 5:26 pm To: Byron Preiss Dear Byron, Thanks for the script of the novel. I don't know what happened to the first one. It may have been a victim of the office move (see above). I'll respond as quickly and briefly as possible. One general point. A thing I have had said to me over and over again whenever I've done public appearances and readings and so on in the States is this: Please don't let anyone Americanise it! We like it the way it is! There are some changes in the script that simply don't make sense. Arthur Dent is English, the setting is England, and has been in every single manifestation of HHGG ever. The 'Horse and Groom' pub that Arthur and Ford go to is an English pub, the 'pounds' they pay with
are English (but make it twenty pounds rather than five- inflation) So why suddenly 'Newark' instead of 'Rickmansworth'? And 'Bloomingdales' instead of 'Marks & Spencer'? The fact that Rickmansworth is not within the continental United States doesn't mean that it doesn't exist! American audiences do not need to feel disturbed by the notion that places do exist outside the US or that people might suddenly refer to them in works of fiction. You wouldn't, presumably, replace Ursa Minor Beta with 'Des Moines'. There is no Bloomingdales in England, and Bloomingdales is not a generic term for large department stores. If you feel that referring to "Marks & Spencer' might seriously freak out Americans because they haven't heard of it (or because Marks and Spencer owns Brooks Brothers) we could either put warning stickers on the cover ("The text of this book contains references to places and institutions outside the continental United States and may cause offence to people who haven't heard of them") or you could, I suppose, put 'Harrods', which most people will have heard of. Or we could even take the appalling risk of just recklessly mentioning things that people won't have heard of and see if they survive the experience. They probably will - when people are born they haven't heard of anything or anywhere, but seem to get through the first few years of their lives without ill-effects.
Haha! Love this letter from Douglas Adams to his US editor about not Americanising the text of Hitchhiker's Guide. 🐋🌸
Aww, poor guy. Nobody could have seen this coming. https://twitter.com/crackticker/status/1901799747796566376

It's Twitter, 2024. Posters have moved en masse to BlueSky. Elon Musk tweets a meme of Left Shark saying "the woke virus strikes again." A handful of divorced 50-year-olds in Big Dog t-shirts respond "lmao EPIC sir." All is well
Did you know that 99% of email today is spam? Your inbox isn’t 99% spam because AI is used to filter it.
The same 99% will happen here too, but if AI researchers continue to get perma-banned for making available the datasets needed to filter it, it’s going to make this platform unusable.
turns out Jason is a visionary
A screenshot of the search results for "Material theme t3dotgg" on the VS Code extensions store. It shows a top listing of "Material Theme (But I Won't Sue You)"
Just learned that the creator of the Material Theme for VS Code has retroactively relicensed it as a commercial product, and started threatening everyone he can find who is using the previous version which was Apache licensed
Totally unrelated, I just published my first VS Code extension
There can only be one me. Help me let @bsky.app be aware that I’m the real me. Many thanks, Mar🐫
