What did I just read?

"He had a chest of drawers, entirely empty except for a lint roller, pens, and in one corner, a pink vibrator. “It’s for girls, you know,” said Roy. “I used to use this one on my ex.” There were also some objects that didn’t seem to belong in a frat house. In one of the common areas, a shelving unit was completely empty except for an anime figurine. You could peer up her plastic skirt & see the plastic underwear molded around her plastic buttocks"

harpers.org/archive/2026/03/ch

Suddenly, Roy seemed to acknowledge my presence. He offered me a tour. There was something he very badly wanted to impress on me, which was that Cluely cultivates a fratty, tech-bro atmosphere. Their pantry was piled high with bottles of something called Core Power Elite. I was offered a protein bar. The inside of the wrapper read DAILY INTENTIONS: BE MY BOSS SELF. “We're big believers in protein,” Roy said. “It’s impossible to get fat at Cluely. Nothing here has any fat.” The kitchen table was stacked with Labubu dolls. “It’s aesthetics,” Roy explained. “Women love Labubus, so we have Labubus.” He showed me his bedroom, which was in the office; many Cluely staffers also lived there. Everything was gray, although there wasn’t much. “I'm a big believer in minimalism,” he said. “Actually, no, I'm not. Not at all. I just don’t really care about interior decoration.” ... There were also some objects that didn’t seem to belong in a frat house. In one of the common areas, a shelving unit was completely empty except for an anime figurine. You could peer up her plastic skirt and see the plastic underwear molded around her plastic buttocks. More figurines in frilly dresses seemed to have been scattered at random throughout the building. Roy showed me his Hinge profile. He was looking for a “5°2, asian, pre-med, matcha-loving, funny, watches anime, white dog having, intelligent, ambitious, well dressed, CLEAN 19-21 year old.” One picture showed him cuddling a giant Labubu.

Friends!

There is a TON of improvements we could make to Private Mentions (often called DMs on other platforms) e.g.
* getting them out of the public timeline
* Having a stronger notification tied to the Private Mention tab
* (amount other things)

But here is my MAIN question: How critical is it that these message are encrypted? I'm not against encryption! It's just complex and will take time. If we were to make some UX changes as a first pass WITHOUT encryption would you be OK with that (at least for now?)

If you MUST have encryption, that's fine, please do me the favor of replying explaining why you need it.

I had a really nice time talking about how "The Internet Was Never Inevitable" (touching on , media archaeology, and the @mediaarchaeologylab) on the Orthogonal Bet podcast. gawd this picture of me but whatever? theorthogonalbet.com/p/the-int

The Internet Was Never Inevitable

In this episode, Samuel Arbesman speaks with Lori Emerson, a professor of Media Studies at University of Colorado Boulder and the founding director of the Media Archaeology Lab, where Arbesman serves as an advisor.

Because of the summer beta season, I reset several iOS test devices at least twice a year.

You know what step of that process I haven’t seen go smoothly in YEARS? Disabling Find My & Activation Lock.

Type the password, hit the button, wait forever.

You can cancel and try again, and then it’ll work, but what?!

Is it just my iCloud account(s) this affects or is Reset not on one of the regular QA scripts at Apple?

Gentoo moves too!

In recent days, weeks, months, the fallout hasn't even begun - Microsoft is still weathering the blast itself. Even in the last couple of days viral videos are racking up millions of views covering what many people are hailing as the demise of Microsoft itself - to be certain, no one is shedding any tears.

The first two defectors? HP and Samsung (PCs and Androids). Samsung removed preinstalled Microsoft apps from their devices and now other Android manufacturers are following suit.

When you go to purchase an HP laptop now it comes with Linux by default (or you can, upon request, pay more for a Microsoft operating system). Following suit were Dell (same thing, Linux by default or your can request Windows 11 and pay more money for it), then Lenovo, ASUS, and Acer - pretty much everyone that matters has abandoned Microsoft.

Even the retailers are bugging out - Best Buy, Walmart, and even Amazon are jumping ship, and I don't even need to explain why, but again, you can pay more to be subjected to invasive privacy mining. CoPilot and Recall may be the straws that broke the behemoth's back.

And the shockwaves of ever larger concentric circles have found their way to Gentoo, the latest prominent project to begin the migration to CodeBerg according to Linux Journal.

Adherence to the values of privacy and open source are cited, and Codeberg champions those values, themselves having moved to a hosted git software project that values those principles - Forgejo.

There's a huge paradigmatic shift occurring with respect to how people view their privacy, and especially their identities and intellectual property. They've had enough of the dismissive subjugation and are realizing they can do much better, faster, with more privacy, and without tracking or malware pre-installed in their systems, for much less money.

It will be interesting to see how the Redmond Dreadnought manages to maneuver this time; have they even the use of their rudder to persuade all of the major manufacturers of Android devices, desktop and laptop PCs to come back from the pasture into the slaughterhouse?

仕事が嫌になったので、こういうDSLを妄想してみた
https://github.com/polidog/ReverHTTP/blob/main/spec.md

このDSLを考えた背景として、WhatとHOWを分離したいという気持ちと、LLMにプログラミング言語扱わせるのはコンテキスト肥大化するなという課題感から考えてみました。

面白いのはDSLからJSON IRつまりjsonで中間表現をすることによってどの言語でも実装可能にするところかなと思っています。

実験的なものなので、実用レベルにしようとも思わないけどとりあえずPHPで動くところまでは作ってみようと思います。

what if your messenger didn't care what protocol your friends use?

sup bridges activitypub, xmpp, irc, atproto and more into one clean app. pixelfed, mastodon, loops - every one.

modular by design. hackable by default.

open source + agpl + self-hostable

the ethical messenger that shouldn't exist but soon will. 🔥

it is funny to me that on one side of the argument, the extreme view is "we are creating the antichrist and the machine god slave will herald in a new society"

and on the other side, the views that get labeled as extreme are things like "i don't want to use it, it gives me the ick"

Shared some thoughts on ggml-ai joining Hugging Face - they've been a good steward of the crucial Transformers open source library so I'm optimistic that great things are ahead for ggml-ai, which kicked off the local model revolution back in March 2023 simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/20/

ggml.ai joins Hugging Face to ensure the long-term progress of Local AI

I don't normally cover acquisition news like this, but I have some thoughts. It's hard to overstate the impact Georgi Gerganov has had on the local model space. Back in …
