filipiova.bsky.social - Profile | ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

14 years ago I pitched what would become Polygon to a startup called Sports Blogs Inc on the unfurnished third floor of a DC townhome. I held a laptop on my knees and went through a deck. Today that same company -- now called Vox Media -- sold Polygon to Valnet.

Took about 5 minutes to put this together. It's not much but it's the least I could do to celebrate the work of these people. @plante.bsky.social please let me know if i forgot someone bsky.app/profile/did:...

I'm no longer with Polygon. If you're hiring, please consider the many talented writers and editors now on the market. Every one of them deserves a spot on your staff. I won't be talking more about the sale because I wasn't involved. Going to hang out with my kid. Taking wins where I can.

At the end of 2017, @plante.bsky.social asked me to edit a year-in-review section at Polygon. He was an indispensable partner. Looking back at it, I am really proud of it. Check out this list of designers and critics. I used to think we could have a world like this: www.polygon.com/2018/1/8/168...

It's clearer than ever that even the best media companies like Vox Media are hit by the current state of the industry. Jim (the CEO) clearly cares about this stuff so I knew the sale had to be done for a reason. Pour one out for Polygon 🙁

Sad news today, since Polygon got sold from a company that values high-quality journalism. I have a bad feeling about this.

Interesting move, but I've been tuning to I/O every year mainly for Android news. Sure I love Gemini and use it, but the prospect of an even heavier focus on AI than last year is uuhhhh quite something.

I've been interested in Slate, a new EV company that flew under the radar with interesting ideas ever since TechCrunch started to report on them. Let's see how this goes! I also need to give a shoutout to @seanokane.bsky.social the coverage has been stellar! techcrunch.com/2025/04/24/b...

Tired of featureless glass & metal phones? Good lord so am I – and so is Motorola. The new #Razr family leans even harder into CMF, with options across all three (!) models for faux leather or satin, Alcantara ... and WOOD! I've been waiting ten years for another wooden phone. Yes, really. More👇

IOS did it first, Android did it first yes yes. One UI 7 took heavy inspiration for the "Now Playing" section from IOS and honestly it's so great. I don't have to open the notification bar anymore just to pause my podcasts.

Blue checks are coming to Bluesky! It's an interesting hybrid model that combines centralized verification (Bluesky says you're legit) with decentralized verification (an outside org says you're legit).

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me & through me & when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Overall, I really like One UI 7 on the Galaxy S24. New design cues are overall well implemented, very smooth and the vertical app drawer is great! Just wish we had the natural language search option 🥲
