ok I feel completely insane asking this but like weren't we NOT blowing up rockets, like, 50 years ago. weren't we successfully sending rockets up that did not rattle apart. also weren't we like "ah yeah that was a fail" when the rocket fell apart instead of calling it a "partial success"

The New York Times is giving a murder their “both-sides” treatment. What the hell is the matter with you?!? Someone kills a person with their car, and your reaction is to be like, “Some people think murder is bad, but others don’t like bike lanes, so 🤷‍♂️.”

My other popular opinion is that in-app purchases fucked mobile gaming. Yes, there are exceptions; I know them. But the whole “our game gets unplayable after a point unless you buy coins” thing just means that games are no longer fun and developers aren’t trying to balance playability any longer.

Do you ever look around and think about how everything you see will someday be ruins? I do. It’s oddly comforting, in a pale blue dot kind of way

They're not pro technology so much as they're pro endless growth which is why they were hocking crypto and now AI that nobody wants.

You wanna know how to actually do this? Do things in house! The American process of subcontracting every choice is why it costs so much to build anything here!

I run a Meetup group with four friends and with one month's notice they are doubling their fees so they can offer AI recommendations and oh boy I hate it. The decision is not entirely up to me but I personally can't see how they can justify this

Books. When buying books for gifts this holiday season, please don't buy from Amazon. Please shop at your local independent bookstore/bookseller. Ask for recommendations. If they don't have a particular book in stock, ask them to order it. Support creatives, local businesses, and your community.

You wanted starter packs to be searchable. Our engineers are busy keeping us online, so in the meantime, an independent developer built a new searchable library of starter packs. This is the beauty of building in the open 🦋

“Elon Musk admitted to his biographer that the reason the Hyperloop was announced—even though he had no intention of pursuing it—was to try to disrupt the California high-speed rail project to get in the way of that actually succeeding.” — @parismarx.com in @gizmodo.com gizmodo.com/silicon-vall...

Patagonia truly is wilderness untamed! Furious winds transform the turquoise waters of lago Pehoe into a raging sea, blowing crashing waves side ways & literally lifting the water off the surface! #bluesky #photography #landscape #sunrise #nature #mountains #landscapephotography #naturephotography
