@lathiat @QuinnyPig @TheRegister And thanks all round. Appreciated :)

[Chris Williams @diodesign]

@lathiat @QuinnyPig @TheRegister FWIW we're regularly balancing our headings and writing so that we present stuff in a way that's fun and informative, and in a way others don't, can't or won't - but without (as I said on HN) we're alienating future audiences

It's a balancing act

@rik_ferguson If this is Bluesky, I'd like to give it a try, please

[Chris Williams @diodesign]

@lproven Oh shoot, wishing you all the best in your healing and recovery

[Chris Williams @diodesign]

@sadams_s @brokenbottleboy @iainthomson Well, I hope you can give us another shot in future. We're a rather different team these days

And funny you should say that about old stories, an important task this year is reviewing the archives. How we handle previous coverage that doesn't sit well in 2023, specifically

[Chris Williams @diodesign]

@sadams_s @brokenbottleboy @iainthomson Publications go through eras of editors, who decide what is and isn't worthy of coverage. They also encourage particular viewpoints they agree with.

And FWIW that earlier era is over. Editors move on, editorial teams change over time. General ethos continues in other directions

@SummerC0n @aloria !! Oh no. I'm so sorry

[Chris Williams @diodesign]

@iainthomson I waved back, fwiw

@jackclarkSF @kyliebytes That time Billy Idol was booked to play at Dreamforce

[@iainthomson @iainthomson]

@oliviasolon Possibly the most cringeworthy Dreamforce gig was when Billy Idol played years ago. He changed the White Wedding lyrics to "It's a nice day for - CRM!)

@_msw_ @manugupt1 @sjvn @BrideOfLinux @koxinga21 Thanks, that's kind of you 🙂

@smikedickinson What would be on a Brit cheese board: Cheddar, Wensleydale, Red Leicester... I've not had RL for years. Smoked cheese doesn't exist here as far as I can tell

@BlaineGaither @TheRegister It's a huge risc for Arm, going toe to toe with Qualcomm

[Chris Williams @diodesign]

@wren6991 Or rather: ALAs aren't necessarily broad or open to transfer, so if you buy an ALA holder, you don't necessarily get the ALA nor can use it for whatever you want.

It's gonna come down to the fine print and what Qualcomm is using exactly from its acquisition

[Chris Williams @diodesign]

@Krewell Very good point!

[Chris Williams @diodesign]

@notdan Incorrect.

[Chris Williams @diodesign]

@UK_Daniel_Card Do us journos still have to have a big red badge that says MEDIA on it?
