I feel like people are so set against Google that they will not even agree that Google has good ideas sometimes.
Dealing with people frothing at the mouth because you dared defend something about AMP, for example, is tiring.
Just admit what it is: like every other big company, a mix of great and questionable.
Meanwhile I'm going to honor good ideas no matter the source.
How I fixed Google so it doesn’t shove AI into my face anymore.

@Klaxun @misc If you’re comfortable with a VC-backed platform, Beehiiv. If you want something run by a small team, Buttondown. If you want to run it yourself or want a nonprofit in charge, Ghost.
@anildash@threads.net @anildash@me.dm Clearly you haven’t seen this one:
In the early 2010s, real-time journalism was an extremely hot trend in media. But as social media matured, it slowed down greatly. Misinformation took its place.
Can the #fediverse help bring it back?
Today’s @tedium profiles @newsmast, an emerging approach to breaking news in the post-Twitter era:

Reading Daring Fireball today sure is something. Appreciate Gruber’s perspective, but he is clearly rooting for the home team.
Tim Berners-Lee sharing this take on Medium is kind of sad.

Remember, while G/O Media is tearing down the final pieces of Gawker, Gawker Media alums are changing media.

This feels like a very important bill for boosting the indie and small-scale artists whose music I adore. I hope it passes.

Ugh. No more unceremonious shutdowns of creative institutions, please. https://variety.com/2024/digital/news/rooster-teeth-shutting-down-warner-bros-discovery-1235931953/
If anyone would still like these emulators before they go away, I would note that they’re still available as flatpaks on Linux.
What is happening with Yuzu and Citra is a travesty. It will have a chilling effect on future console development. Tomorrow’s developers are today’s emulator hackers.
An interesting new wrinkle to the Automattic story from @404mediaco—the “firehose” has already been in play for years. https://www.404media.co/wordpress-firehose-allows-ai-companies-to-buy-access-to-a-million-posts-a-day/
Vibes against Automattic are brutal tonight. Like, they really screwed up twice in a week.
WordPress is too important to be put at such serious risk.
Good, give Apple all the scrutiny. https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/26/24083511/apple-eu-investigation-web-app-support
@killyourfm Daniel Johnston and Wesley Willis getting major label distribution is something that actually happened in the mid-’90s.
@killyourfm And then think of all the weird-ass bands that didn’t have top-40 hits but still got signed to major labels out of desperation
