> We’ve taken our arrows through the years for lots of things that frankly aren’t our fault, but are rather the reality of being the primary communications platform for all of humanity, and humanity is flawed. I’m proud of the efforts we have made to ameliorate humanity’s worst impulses while enabling some of our best tendencies, including that desire to connect.

This is something I think Facebook has been unfairly attacked for. Yes, Facebook didn't do everything perfectly, sometimes they were negligent, but they did also try quite a bit (both financially and manpower-wise).

The reality is, anyone else would've failed the same way. The problem wasn't that Facebook was evil or negligent, it was that being the "primary communications platform for all of humanity" was always going to be impossible to moderate, and it was always going to turn nasty.

She was right. But Figma is a legitimate, profitable, and strong business.

The reality is most startups are not like Figma. They would make pretty bad businesses and their only exit strategy is to get acquired.

There's simply no way they could stand on their own legs and go public.

I don't like Elon. But I think it's pretty clear he was awkward (same as the weird jump he did months ago)

Even before the term "woke" was widespread, I noticed all my conservative friends would prefer to find the most ridiculous liberal woke example and mock it.

Rather than actually discuss policy or anything concrete, because they have nothing to offer.

There's a reason you wake up at 5:50am to copy paste course codes the moment registrations open up!

I'm a big fan of Tldraw and the people behind it. The tech behind Tldraw is impressive and the people are great.

But they just seem to be churning out random AI demos?

It's so good in fact that I wish it existed for macOS so I wouldn't need to use the official Logitech crap

But it is a 50/50 split, so I don't understand what your concern is.

There are many valid critiques of GNOME but this isn't one of them.

A split button is an accepted and widely used pattern.

This is a better "lite" phone than all the current lite phones out there

It does very little, but also does all the essentials: maps, payment, music streaming, etc.

It's kinda funny all/most of the initial goodwill towards the Rabbit was purely because of the Teenage Engineering design.

I hope TE chooses their clients better in the future. The guy behind Rabbit is a known grifter.
