Instagram just keeps making it more difficult to use their product.

They claimed to have sent a reset password, but still haven't gotten it

This project freeing Airpods from their walled garden might be one of the ones I'm looking forward to seeing succeed the most. I dispose #walledgardens for consumer hardware.

Nieuwe bruggen

Sinds de dood van Twitter, wilde ik schrijven, maar ondertussen is best de vraag of je niet beter kan schrijven ‘Sinds de transformatie van Twitter naar X’, want het platform Twitter is toch wel blijven bestaan, weliswaar onder een andere naam. Alle politici zitten daar nog, alle sportploegen zitten daar nog, het netwerkeffect is toch te sterk. De totale ineenstorting is niet […]
