I’ve been thinking about taking a social media break... this article convinced me to do it. I’m logging out of (& deleting) Twitter / Instagram, cutting back discord to just essential servers. I might see you on the flip side if I feel the need to return. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

I haven't been watching @supercars this year so I'm only just discovering they replaced Skaife and Crompton for 2026. Suddenly I'm a lot less excited for the #Bathurst1000.

I like the idea of @SigmaOS, and nearly went all-in after the @arcinternet news, but there are 3 deal breakers for me. 1) shortcuts are geared for viewing, and a mouse. I interact and use the keyboard (esp scrolling) a LOT. 2) sync crashes on my other mac before it even starts.

3) it’s responsive everywhere except the search box. It regularly misses the first character I type after cmd+T. When typing a URL, unless I go very slowly, it deletes the last character before the “/“ (giving me “.co” urls instead of “.com”)

In 2021 I started working on a book about a corporate takeover. Nearly four years, 350 interviews, and one $69 billion acquisition later, PLAY NICE: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment is out today. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

I wonder if today is the day windows starts to lose dominance. I doubt it, but that would be a positive outcome of what looks like a shitstorm. Hasn’t impacted me personally, thankfully. No windows in this house and we don’t need to go shopping for a few days.

Marques’ reach is a function of telling the truth. He didn’t always have 18 million subscribers, but he had his integrity from the beginning. Expecting him to abandon that is the only thing that is “distasteful, almost unethical”.
I find it distasteful, almost unethical, to say this when you have 18 million subscribers. Hard to explain why, but with great reach comes great responsibility. Potentially killing someone else’s nascent project reeks of carelessness. First, do no harm.

11 years ago at the first @PAXAus I found a small team showing a dev build of a board game on an iPad. I was hooked. Backed on @Kickstarter, bought a 2nd time when it hit PS4, now there's a board game? How could I resist! Congratulations @LeagueofGeeks! kickstarter.com/projects/and…

I finally finished @ChainedEchoes, and saw my name in the credits (I backed it on kickstarter). Only 16 months since it was released, and exactly a year after I started 🫣 I enjoyed it a lot, but sometimes I let it sit on the shelf while I played other things.
