Tabs for July 14th 2023
- Config.com, Really cool toolkit for hardware (more on why that piqued my interest in notes).
- Cowboy e-bikes. With the collapse of Van Moof, these guys are the natural successor it seems.
- Zuck is not your friend. "There was a gap in the market and Musk is just so _brain-serratingly bad at running an actual business that isn’t two grifts and a government subsidy in a trenchcoat that he managed to essentially brick a site that had functioned without serious issues for a decade and a half the same week his mother had to tell him not to fist-fight another billionaire while his precious One Ring of social media digitally hit itself in the face over and over again until oblivion would have been sweet relief."
- The Dutch government are running a Mastodon instance
- Van Moof collapse
- Bear 2 notes app released. Looks great, and I used it a few years ago. But Obsidian has all of those features & more thanks to it's open-source extensibility and community.
- Killed by Google
- The Harvard Expert on Dishonesty Who Is Accused of Lying
- Sarah Silverman sues OpenAI, Meta for being “industrial-strength plagiarists”
- The Ambient Sounds of Japan's Jazz Kissas (Listening Cafes). Channel your inner Murakami character.
- DIRT episode 5: Ireland
- Microsoft has a new default font
- The Hidden Workforce That Helped Filter Violence and Abuse Out of ChatGPT
- Twitter careers. This page is so Musk.
- White House details national cyber security strategy
- The tiresome self-flaggilation of the BBC. As a foreign observer of the BBC, it's actually shocking how bad they've become over the last decade or so.
- Irish media immolation in short
- The last social media network
- The hotel tech stack. Vaguely crosses into work territory, so interesting to me!
- Vulcans really were jerks
