A podcast about tech world happenings from someone who isn't a centrist dude who's been in it so long he's basically just a proxy for big tech, would be REVOLUTIONARY

I'v been listening to these guys for fifteen years, and there was a time I thought they were super cool. But I can't anymore man.

The only guy I still listen to is Marques Brownlee because he still has interesting analyses. But I just know if he ever took a political stance, it'll break my heart.

We need progressive analysis

I'll be paying attention to Blacksky. I guess if Bluesky PBC does anything funny with ATProtocol they'll be the first to say something

I'm super hyped to announce that Bluesky Socal PBC has given me a grant to work on the Federated Credential Management (or FedCM) standards to make them really work for all decentralized web applications.

This is why I stepped up to be an Invited Expert with the W3C FedID Working Group earlier in the year. The missing part at that time was "how do I fund this work?" so I'm super happy that Bluesky Social PBC really came through with a grant to fund this work.

A really interesting thing that Bluesky Social PBC did here was they could have said "just make this work for AT Protocol" but instead they said "make this work for the entire decentralized web", and the contract explicitly states I should be working with the IndieAuth, Solid and other communities interested in federated and decentralized identity to make this happen.

The media is lying to you. There is no actual discernable difference between a Left Twix and a Right Twix. They manufactured this lie to divide us. Follow me for more brutal but necessary truths.

So, is #Apple going to ever acknowledge and fix the #iOS keyboard regression from recent versions?

Unless I missed some announcement, it sort of seems like… no? This is just the state of iOS moving forward? I find using the keyboard such a pain that I'd now rather correct text-to-speech dictation errors. But that doesn't work in noisy, non-private environments.
