Jeff JarvisI am waiting for The Washington Post to apologize for burying the Alito flag story. But then, I am still waiting for The New York Times to apologize for #ButHerEmail and #ButHisBirthday and countless other sins against democracy. So I think I'll be waiting a long time.

Grant HutchinsonUPDATE!
I have a solid lead … thanks for all the help!
Hey, Mastodon … I’m trying to track down an #AppleNewton developer named Stephen D. Cronin.
He worked at #AMD and operated a software company called TapTech based out of Austin, Texas in the late 90s. I’ve managed to contact his former software partner, Francis Preve … but Francis lost touch with Stephen years ago.
Together they released a sequencer program for #NewtonOS called NR404 and I’m hoping the source code still exists somewhere.
Pitch Timer!!! Whose stupid idea was that? That ain’t baseball! What is MLB trying to do, become the NBA? Well, if they didn’t notice, we already have an NBA
Mike Masnick ✅So... last night I pointed out that @filipeesposito, the editor for 9to5Mac made some pretty embarrassing factual errors in an article about Bluesky... and rather than fix those factual errors... he (1) blocked me on mastodon and (2) left the story as is.
In the past I had always considered 9to5Mac and its related publications to be credible sources of news, but now I feel the need to re-evaluate that.
Reporters make mistakes. We all do. It's how you *respond* that matters.
Jason ScottOK, here's the deal. This person is selling this batch of 251 issues of Computer Shopper for $3000, firm. $13/issue is a good price (even if some are rough). If we raise $3000, I will buy it and scan them all. (The CS issues will need to be split.) Venmo is @textfiles - Paypal is [email protected], will also be willing to discuss other methods of getting me cash for it. If this falls apart, I will refund everyone. $3000 is firm (I asked). Go for it if you want this to happen.
