Cory Doctorow’s Little Brother - it was actually a summer reading book in high school. Later, I read Snowden‘s memoir when it came out.

Edit - timing of reading the memoir

Could you… by chance- pick yourself up by then?

Much easier to back into a spot compared to pulling in, safer to pull out. And it doesn’t take much longer. Once you know how to do it it’s very very quick

i think you're on the cusp on creating the next fad in the wellness industry - find a way to legally call it that and suddenly its flying off the shelves. "it's so safe you can DRINK it!"

that was harrowing. it really makes me reconsider the trust I have in apple - beyond the frustration I have with their walled garden ecosystem

I can’t believe I never thought about that - gotta try this later today

Yes it’s the same as drinking water - you’re getting hydrated

Typo in the article - “found inn”

even if that were true - it wouldn't make sense. That would would a) create a huge disparity between signups and DAU b) they did make the signup process very frictionless which would explain the signups better and c) I believe it threads signups were in the millions whereas Instagram has over 1B accounts

Case in point. I’m still waking up and thought that said adobe is taking on adobe

I love beeper - very excited for people to get access to it

to me that looks like it could have been an absence seizure

With all due respect - how much discussion about Elon can there really be? Maybe a couple of substack posts here and there to get more insight but realistically it’s just the same thing over and over again. Special man got mad and has been throwing a years long temper tantrum- decimating a company in the process. I don’t think that’s gonna change and I’m pretty tired of seeing him clog up my feed.

that's really sweet - how often do you find that the assistants do a good enough job answering their questions?

I'm all about informed consent - I'm wiling to compromise privacy as long as I know how much I'm compromising in exchange for convenience - using virtual assistants to shoot off texts, make calendar events, etc is invaluable to me for many reasons and it improves QOL more than it harms it - I do what I can to limit how much access there is to my queries, but thats just how I approach it

After some browsing I found another option - whoogle which seems to be a self-hosted search engine? I didn't look into it too much but this also seems very interesting

this was super neat! thanks for sharing

kagi seems very enticing to me, but man thats expensive... anyone here use it?

this got me to laugh out loud when I opened Elonged Muskrat's wikpedia page and found it completely blurred out. Thank you!!!
