Holy shit. Bravo.

This — ALL of it — is worth your time.

I have memories of crossing Mekelweg in between lectures, dodging the cars. And the fuel station at the corner of Mekelweg & Drebbelweg next to EWI.

Might still have a few pictures of it, and perhaps even a video. I'll dig through my harddrive to see what i've got.

Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards

Apple and Google have left X in their app stores, despite its AI-generated images that violate their own rules. There are no principles left in Silicon Valley.

This Decoder episode is infuriating. I expected to hate-listen to it, and HOO BOY was I right.

As expected, Nilay asked about GM's intention to ditch CarPlay/Android Auto. The excuses and justifications that Sterling Anderson and Mary Barra are just heaps of shit. In particular, Sterling's assertion of “nobody uses iPhone mirroring" is both incorrect and built on a foundation of false equivalence.

God damnit this makes me so unnecessarily angry.

"I'm puzzled when people say the Swiss have good transportation because they're rich. It has nothing to do with that. They're still using trams from 1970. They restore them every 7 years. Making do is part of the culture. If you're using trams for 50 years, that's a hell of a savings."
