I would like to see more companies admit this - being a public company no longer means running a successful, thriving business. It strictly means delivering growth to investors, every single quarter, who do not care at all about the product the company sells or the people who produce it.

Having said that the audio quality of nearly any moderate priced setup in 2026 is going to be more than passable.

Tyler Oakleaf @tyleroakleaf.bsky.social · 06/03/2026
For audio quality having a good preamp is going to matter a lot more than mic variation. Large diaphragm condenser mics are great for well isolated vocals but they are incredibly quiet and thus closer to the noise floor.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

none of us are "activists" -- we're moms and students and neighbors and friends and we want to spend our Sundays hanging out and doing silly things, not patrolling our neighborhoods and filming ICE and organizing protests but we have to protect each other or none of us will ever be safe

I can't find it now, but someone wrote something like "Saving time doesn't add to efficiency if it adds work for other people/team. That's just passing off your responsibilities." Efficiency is an org wide measurement.

Just wow. @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy came out swinging in this article. He's right though and that's the coolest part.
In 2026, countries that want to win the trade war have a unique historical possibility: They could repeal their “anticircumvention” laws, which make it illegal—a felony, in many cases—to modify devices and services without permission from their manufacturers. Over the past two decades, the office of the US Trade Representative–which is responsible for developing and coordinating US international trade, commodity, and direct investment policy—has pressured most of the world into adopting these laws, hamstringing foreign startups that might compete with Apple (by providing a jailbreaking kit that installs a third-party app store), or Google (by blocking tracking on Android devices), or Amazon (by converting Kindle and Audible files to formats that work on rival apps), or John Deere (by disabling the systems that block third-party repairs), or the Big Three automakers (by decoding the encrypted error messages mechanics need to service our cars). The rents that these digital locks help American companies extract run to hundreds of billions of dollars every single year. The world’s governments agreed to protect this racket in exchange for tariff-free access to American markets. Now that the US has reneged on its side of the bargain, these laws serve no useful purpose.

Today I realized how much tech social media has degraded when I saw a title for a video on building “functional” web apps, and it took me a few seconds to realize “functional” meant “working” and not an alternative to OO/procedural
