Meh.

@CastroPodcasts Based on the replies here, I'm getting the feeling that my days with Castro are numbered.

That's a shame, it was a good app.

You could get past these problems with better communication. Maybe someplace _besides_ Twitter? I dunno, like a blog on your site...?

@SoftwareFTEW @SpikySense @CastroPodcasts This. The user interface design of the sleep timer is the best of any spoken word playback app I've used. (I've used _many_.)

With Castro circling the drain, I hope that @OvercastFM will feel free to use something inspired by this terrific design.

And... X CEO @lindayaX has decided not to appear at @WSJ Tech Live.

Here's the statement X sent to The Journal: "Linda Yaccarino will be unable to attend the WSJ Tech Live conference next week. With the global crisis unfolding, Linda and her team must remain fully focused on X platform safety."

Spending my time elsewhere these days, but I don't want my handle stolen, so here's a quick post.

@michaeljknowles @RollingStone You should get the fuck off the stage and apologize, asshole. This statement is your life from here on in.

Shove your hatred and bias and Nazi dreams up your ass, Motherfucker.

Worker riots over Covid lockdowns in a communist country where they make American electronics.

Have fun parsing the politics on that one.

[Matt Binder @MattBinder]

all the why Elon Musk bought Twitter theories are overthinking it.

it’s simple.

Musk is in a right wing filter bubble. he bought Twitter believing their problems were real & that others felt the same

this is what happens when you have a lot of money & live in fantasy land

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

I remember the old saying, “Better to be thought a fool than to buy Twitter and remove all doubt.”

I can’t believe they made a Lord of the Rings prequel and didn’t call it “Better Call Sauron.”

@dmoren Unifi APs in stock: https://t.co/zIISg9rs5F

These are good ones, and inexpensive.

Damn. Trying the latest AirPod Pros at an airport for the first time, and they’re a damn miracle.

Wish they charged via USB-B instead of Lightning. Definitely ready to consolidate my connectors down to something simple. Still need to take too many adapters when I travel…
