I keep meaning to buy this book on iBooks. The NeXT years have always been a big gap in the public narrative, and it’s kind of wild that some of my colleagues today are NeXT veterans.

I know this sounds good on paper to everybody, but in my own experience it has been *decades* since I saw intolerable battery degradation before the whole device was obsolete anyways. Like I think maybe my iPhone 4 lost charge before I was ready to replace it.

Not trying to be a contrarian, but I noticed that the original was credited to Colbert himself, Late Show, and the city of Monroe, MI. And it had a hell of a lot of YT ads. Colbert and CBS don’t need the ad money, but Monroe probably does. Which makes ripping and monetizing yourself it a dick move.

I’m also amused by the fact that Truth Social’s tech stack is little more than a fork of Mastodon, and I’d give odds they’re not even in compliance with its open source license.

We have spent 100x more compute training AI to generate waifu art than to solve protein folding. I am not saying this is the Great Filter, but if aliens find our radioactive remains, they’re going to be very confused by the hard drives...
