@scott i know, but also i want to shoehorn it into the case.

I have an old iMac with a 5K screen and an Intel processor, and I'd love to pay somebody to hack one of the new M4 Mac minis into fitting inside that great old case and using that screen.

@dansinker dan is that good orrr

@tante well unfortunately that wasn’t the goal of the guy who coined the term

@vanderwal no I’ll be gere at home.

Hi friends! Today is a good day to remind you: if you are in this fight against the fascists, doing the work to care for the vulnerable, I am joyously conspiring with you! If you are enthusiastic & excited, I am too. If you are worried and have misgivings about some of the people or policies in the coalition, I do too. But if you are committed to the work, we will get there together. I’m grateful for your company.

@dap6000 yes! I didn't link to them because I wrote it on my phone on a plane. I will try to write a follow up with links and subscription links too. :)

Starting to feel like billionaire-owned media products aren't good for us

@gastonrampersad very excited for them to launch talk radio that’s about discussing just sports betting

@molly0xfff she’s so right it’s hard to express how right she is

lol I wonder if the person who profits from persuading people to risk money on sports gambling is a reliable source on whether to invest in the memecoin that has her name on it, and which she has been unabashedly shilling. https://awfulannouncing.com/gambling/taylor-mathis-cryptocurrency-draftkings.html (cc @molly0xfff )

Today! 5pm EDT: Taking your questions about tech, especially if they're about careers. Share your question (DM or reply), and join in on the livestream on YouTube — what did you always want to know about how tech *really* works? https://youtube.com/live/bnWJxxczsB0

@aslakr @stefan depends what you’re aiming for, but in terms of economic pressure, yes.

@NIGHTEN @stefan it depends what you’re designing for, but yes in terms of the pressure on an org to deliver, it’s much higher with VC

@molly0xfff @fediversereport @stefan I think their timing on this probably ended up screwing them on funding options, because they were likely in progress *before* the huge boom in signups, but closed after. Which means worse selection in funders, and worse terms, right before they would have otherwise had more leverage.

@laurenshof @stefan @molly0xfff yeah, fwiw I think the dollar amount here is probably the least concerning thing. they're easily on track to generate more than enough value to justify that. it's the everything else about vc that is more of an issue.

@stefan just a quibble, but venture funding is structurally a different financial vehicle than debt. they can sometimes function similarly, but it's incorrect at a technical level to equate them. (One key reason that it matters: it's generally illegal in most jurisdictions to have a debt that requires a return above ~1.3x, which would be abject failure for VC.)

Hey everyone! Tomorrow (Friday the 25th) at 5pm NYC time on YouTube, I'm going to try something I've been wanting to do for a while: answering your questions about the tech world from the perspective of someone who's been in many different roles over the past 2 decades. I'm especially interested in questions that can help folks with their careers! If you have a question you want answered, just reply or DM, along with whether you'd like to be anonymous or not. https://www.youtube.com/live/bnWJxxczsB0

The success of a startup called “posthog” has inspired me to call my next company “showfeet”.

Very happy with how https://looptober.glitch.me has been coming along, now with a "best of" playlist!

If you've been taking part in #looptober, or just joining in in the final days, do reach out!
