Brent Simmons – Corporations Are Not To Be Loved
by
In response to Apple’s policies on external purchase for AppStore apps Brent has this to say. But I need to remember, now and again, that Apple is a corporation, and corporations aren’t people, and they can’t love you back. You wouldn’t love GE or Exxon or Comcast — and you shouldn’t love Apple. It’s not an…
iPad Focused Desk Setup for 2024
by
After spending much of 2022 and 2023 not using my iPad that much outside of watching YouTube videos and running Zwift for bike training, I’ve started to make the move back to using the iPad as my primary writing and RSS consumption place. One of the issues that had me move away from the iPad…
The WordPress Benevolent Dictator – Rules Don’t Apply to Me
by
Yet again the “benevolent dictator for life” Matt Mullenweg yet again feels the rules don’t apply to his personal projects.

In his words: I attempted to write a straightforward news story about all this, and…
That letter saying Substack should leave Nazis alone was started by Substack Founder Hamish Mackenzie
by
I thought I was done talking about Substack and Nazis, but nope. It seems the letter that asked Substack to prefer free speech over moderation was started by the Substack founder Hamish Mackenzie. So Mackenzie started the letter, then hides behind it as a reason not to moderate Nazi hate speech. It would seem that…
58Keys – Publish a Personal Book
by
He had 600k words after 800 posts. I wonder what my almost 4k posts would turn into word count wise. I feel very tempted to publish books by year for my site. At the very least it would make my writing accessible for my kids after I die and my site goes away.
Matt on Omnivore the Free Read Later App
by
This is the current read later app I’m using. There are some UI issues when using it on your iPad, like highlights not matching the cursor when you’re using an external monitor, but the Obsidian sync is excellent.
A 2 screen laptop – ASUS Zenbook Duo
by
This ASUS laptop is a very cool piece of tech coming out of CES this year. I love the idea of having two screens on the go, and while it’s not as repairable as my Framework, you can replace some of the parts if you’re brave enough according to Linus Tech Tips. Now it does…
