"This competitor's stuff is almost as good as ours but probably cheaper and has less restrictions and doesn't require applying to a special program" isn't gonna land the way you think

Hey you guys shouldn't be advertising competition for free 😛

"Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map." 😞

"Apple is protecting you from accessing your own backup" is the key part here 😑

And people are asking "why do people not like Passkeys?"…

At what point do we collectively decide that we need to rewrite all current C/C++ image parsing libraries in Rust ASAP? It's high time, isn't it?…

I wrote down some notes from what I've been playing with last week. Note: you probably won't learn much if you know anything about this stuff 😉

I got lucky, the weather was super nice yesterday for taking photos like this 🙂 I managed to get up earlier and drove ~2h to Zakopane to climb some Western Tatras. I haven't been there since… possibly before 2020? I need to try to get more in shape, because the climb to 1.7k almost defeated me 🫣

I wonder if it's that staying on Twitter makes people pull in a bad direction, or them being pulled in a bad direction makes them stay on Twitter…

"Companies like X and Meta are very happy to scrape the web at unprecedented scale and without permission, but have zero tolerance for the same to be done to them (…) because users are not trusted to use the platforms. X does not permit third-party readers, and neither does Instagram, because their value does not come from us using these services as we wish, but from how they dictate we must" 💯

The migration to open networks is long, long overdue…
