If you squint and tilt your eyes, advertisements interspersed in streaming content are just a kind of capitalist hallucination.

Really cool to see. I wonder if Quebec is doing something similar to this?

If Pavel is right then Apple, the very company that popularized the phrase user experience (if I’m not mistaken), appears to have lost the plot. I really hope not.

It’s been fun watching the unlikely rise of MCP as a standard, which is open and messy in a way that mimics the dynamics of the good parts of Web 2.0. Maybe something interesting will happen! www.anildash.com//2025/05/20/...

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was just demolished by Musk’s team. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 million. A thread about 18F:

I am available for new contract work. I have 20+ years 😩 experience in web design and development and I’m still learning. I have written courses and books that have influenced interface design across the industry. I love prototyping, writing documentation, creative coding, and #a11y. 👋

Imagine you're part of a generation that hasn't been able to accrue property, capital, wealth. How do you hear phrases like "What's in it for me" and "Not in my backyard"?

One of the more thought-provoking ideas I heard at Code for America was Tom Preston-Werner's Readme Driven Development: By starting with the readme, you ensure a more-inclusive development effort tom.preston-werner.com/2010/08/23/r...

Jeff Bezos should read what I wrote today. Because he clearly doesn't understand why people are so upset and not trusting his paper anymore. www.techdirt.com/2024/10/28/h...

The issue here is not that the LA Times and Washington Post could not muster opinions (in fact, one could argue that its silence is actually expressing one). The issue is more how they’ve mischaracterized endorsements as some sort of superfluous expression of preference and not a meaningful synthesis of the crucial reporting it has done. In other words, despite their protests, the endorsement is supposed to be reporting, a handy packaging of its coverage for readers to conveniently review before voting.

If it turns out that the publication can draw a conclusion no better than a low-information voter, when it, as press, should have the most information of all, then it can no longer be trusted as a useful source of it.

It is 2024 and all of us — but publishers, especially — are still processing what it means to exist in a world where it's never been easier to publish/share your thoughts. I see this every day I go online.

Okay well that sounds like a Supreme Court Justice colluding with the defense team of a former president* under multiple federal & state indictment so as to provide a path for manipulating legal proceedings which might fall under said justice's review. Seems REAL BAD. www.nytimes.com/live/2024/09...

Mr. Lauro sought to defend his plans to challenge Mr. Smith’s appointment by arguing that Justice Clarence Thomas had questioned how Mr. Smith had gotten his job in a concurrence to the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling.

At one point, Mr. Lauro said that Justice Thomas had “directed” Mr. Trump’s legal team to pursue the motion. But he quickly amended himself, saying only that the justice had raised the issue in his concurrence.

Still, Judge Chutkan interrupted him before he made his correction, asking archly, “He directed you to do that?”

And sitting silently in the courtroom watching the proceedings, Mr. Smith seemed to share the judge’s reaction, nodding emphatically.
