In 2025, the easiest things you can take away from them are money and amplification. Be careful what you buy and get off of here.

Here’s the thing about nazis and their ilk: you can’t talk them into becoming good people. You can choose to show compassion for the fears that drive them, but they will corrupt and burn everything unless you disarm and firewall. They’ll die miserable no matter what you do.

Articles like this show why decarbonization has to involve energy abundance. You cannot ask people to live in sweltering heat for the sake of the planet. They just won't do it. Let people cool their homes with clean energy that's too cheap to meter.

RIP Apollo, you were a shining example of the kind of indie apps the App Store sorely needs more of, and one I spent so many hours of my life happily and cozily in. I hope Reddit's IPO is a disaster. https://t.co/nGWqUhgcI4

Happy for the world to meet  Vision Pro, but also excited about web apps on Mac! Can’t quite beat a 3D canvas, though.

The Final Countdown’s been stuck in my head for weeks, maybe today is the day it gets unstuck!

At this point I’m not sure if @VanMoof is ever gonna ship my bike, let alone be able to fix it when it breaks. Make an equally useful integrated lock and call Apple, @Cowboy_Bikes

In SF tomorrow / this weekend, for the first time in a long time. Anyone from the olden days still around? (DM me for coffee)

Not a fan of April Fools before April 1st but I’d watch this.

Duolingo making a dating show was not on my 2023 bingo card

@thijsniks And about logging you in. Who needs working autofill, easy 2FA or numeric keyboard entry anyway?

Huge thanks to @TechCrunch for this awesome article covering the launch of the new @gowalla! https://t.co/mTZOwKr7kh

It’s so rewarding to see this in action. It turns out writing a backend/frontend for a E2EE mesh network to stream media is a whole thing. Cross-platform, C++, with global distribution. I hope to do another @tuple blog post soon!

Year of the rabbit feels like a very personal call to action.

Fusion energy is our long-term future.

In the immediate term, we should further adopt fission energy, which offers nearly the exact same set of advantages as fusion (minus meltdown risks and high-activity waste, both of which are very well solved with current technology).

@jonastreub @hemlok_ @theedvinjoseph @benjaminnathan @framer I think there’s still an experiment of mine floating around in the depths of the git repo. Ship it!

[Jan Van Boghout @janvanwtf]

And today’s thing, in a world that feels quite different now.

[Jan Van Boghout @janvanwtf]

Weird to wake up in a world without SJ. Today's awesome thing, I make for you, Steve. RIP.
