I’d rather be hiking right now. I used to play videogames, but now I listen to people talk about them.

Power On: Apple just announced the $599 MacBook Neo. Now it turns its attention to the ‘Ultra’ line with upcoming foldable iPhone, touch-screen MacBook, AI AirPods and more.

This is one of the finest things I’ve read in a minute, about the class, capital, and, yes, cars that power F1, written by the extraordinary Kate Wagner: https://web.archive.org/web/20240301170542/https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a46975496/behind-f1-velvet-curtain/

Behind F1's Velvet Curtain

If you wanted to turn someone into a socialist you could do it in about an hour by taking them for a spin around the paddock of a Formula 1 race. The kind of money I saw will haunt me forever.

Videography For Dummies

Today was ... interesting. If you followed me for the past months over on the shitbird site, you might have seen a bunch of angry German words, lots of graphs, and the occassional news paper, radio, or TV snippet with yours truely. Let me explain. In Austria, inflation is way above the EU average. There's no end in sight. This is especially true for basic needs like energy and food. Our government stated in May that they'd build a food price database together with the big grocery chains. But..

So the cruelty artists at Facebook make a new app with a high likelihood of damaging democracy even further, and people are trying it? On purpose?

Shared some code today to help out another developer, and I hope I never have to do it again.

Reddit will exempt accessibility-focused apps from its unpopular API pricing changes

Reddit is creating an exemption to its unpopular new API pricing terms for apps focused on accessibility. Blind users had protested the changes because they could harm apps that help them browse the site.

Reddit had a no good, very bad week. Reversing on its 15-year support of 3rd party apps, new API pricing makes using anything other than the official app financially unviable. And with just 30-days before changes take effect, indie devs are on the hook for potentially millions of dollars of unexpected costs and/or App Store refunds. I talked with @christianselig about how it has affected Apollo, the best iOS Reddit client out there.
