Once again current events have forced me to confront the difficult fact that Larry Ellison and John McAfee are actually two entirely different people and only one of them is dead.

Every statistic about how bad the economy is getting is going to be buried or cooked by the end of the year.

Quarterly earnings reports shifting to semi-annual earnings will ensure private companies don’t inject reality too often by talking about declining sales, etc.

Captured with the Rodenstock 50mm/4.0 HR Digaron-W lens (@ f/5.6) and the Phase One back, shifted vertically a bit to maintain geometry.

This is a straightforward composition showing the front of the Smithsonian Castle, which is not actually a castle, and, despite being part of the Smithsonian, not actually a museum, either (it houses mostly offices and a small visitor center). It sits on the National Mall, which, despite the name, is not a shopping center. Lies and deceit are everywhere in DC!

@jwz ☝️ To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Netscape Navigator 2.0 here is my copy I bought around 1995 when it was still a paid product. I ran the browser under Windows 95.

Shortly after snapping this photo in 2017 I tossed the product in the trash, which I regret. I took the photo as I got a sense the artifact had some historical significance, but I wasn't into retrocomputing yet and didn't realize the importance of preserving such material.

Probably preaching to the choir a bit with this, but you should delete a bunch of apps and just use the websites instead. It gives you just a bit more influence with the product, and it makes the product less beholden to the app store.

It's also very likely more private and more secure.

Kind of weird to see so many people in tech who either don't know who DHH is or hadn't clocked on his douchebro white supremacy despite him flagging his bigotry full mast for years

Dude was a full-on Howard Stern loving, misogynistic, self-described "alpha male" bullshit artist as early as 2009

And 37Signals first imploded in 2021 because they sided with a MAGA manager over their own staff, revealing they'd never actually followed any of the management advice they had spouted over the years

@timbray As someone deeply embroiled in this so-called industry I am always shocked when someone else becomes SHOCKED, SHOCKED to discover that the entire business model of TicketBastard and AEG/AXS is scalping, literally nothing but scalping, that's their whole fucking deal. That's the entire business. Scalping their own tickets.

Trump regime now requires press to sign a document agreeing not to obtain or possess "unauthorized" information.

Anyone who agrees to this is not qualified to call himself or herself a journalist.

But I'm betting most Big Journalism orgs will go ahead and sign.
