> We’ve taken our arrows through the years for lots of things that frankly aren’t our fault, but are rather the reality of being the primary communications platform for all of humanity, and humanity is flawed. I’m proud of the efforts we have made to ameliorate humanity’s worst impulses while enabling some of our best tendencies, including that desire to connect.

This is something I think Facebook has been unfairly attacked for. Yes, Facebook didn't do everything perfectly, sometimes they were negligent, but they did also try quite a bit (both financially and manpower-wise).

The reality is, anyone else would've failed the same way. The problem wasn't that Facebook was evil or negligent, it was that being the "primary communications platform for all of humanity" was always going to be impossible to moderate, and it was always going to turn nasty.


Like any new Mozilla initiative, this will not exist in a year.


Game changer


She was right. But Figma is a legitimate, profitable, and strong business.

The reality is most startups are not like Figma. They would make pretty bad businesses and their only exit strategy is to get acquired.

There's simply no way they could stand on their own legs and go public.


Figma being credible competition to Adobe was the reason the merger was blocked. If Figma was less like Figma, and was a pretty bad business, Adobe would be less interested in acquiring them, and regulators would be even less interested in blocking it.


Where do I sign up?


I don't like Elon. But I think it's pretty clear he was awkward (same as the weird jump he did months ago)


He’s smart enough to know how people will interpret such a gesture.


Even before the term "woke" was widespread, I noticed all my conservative friends would prefer to find the most ridiculous liberal woke example and mock it.

Rather than actually discuss policy or anything concrete, because they have nothing to offer.


There's a reason you wake up at 5:50am to copy paste course codes the moment registrations open up!


I'm a big fan of Tldraw and the people behind it. The tech behind Tldraw is impressive and the people are great.

But they just seem to be churning out random AI demos?


It's so good in fact that I wish it existed for macOS so I wouldn't need to use the official Logitech crap


If you look on their GitHub there's a WIP Mac version you can try


The Logitch Options+ is super hot garbage I tried once. The regular "Options" I don't find to be as obtrusive. But I would use this in a heartbeat if it existed.
