Let’s do this! Who knows what professional making will look like in 2027, but one thing’s for sure, connecting with fellow makers will be more important than ever as we navigate the transition together.

Musk, Altman and Dario are not calling for an AI frontier slowdown because they suddenly developed morals.

JUST IN: Internet accuses Apple of photoshopping "freakishly long" fingers into its iPhone Duo marketing, to make the massive foldable look easier to hold one-handed.

Do not underestimate the power of this technology. These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources. We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains, and progress is not slowing.

In case someone needs it. I couldn't find a decent Transmit for Linux so I made one: Okuri - github.com/monorkin/okuri It supports S3, R2, B2, FTP, SFTP and WebDAV, transfers between remotes, multiple windows, and Omarchy theming. Written in Rust and Qt.

This was a totally inappropriate use of the National Alert System. Not for an incoming ballistic missile, or a mass terror attack but to tell us not to use disposable barbecues. This is the Government who is yet to start a national conversation on civil preparedness and national resilience in order to prepare the country for war. The Government that cried wolf.

Whenever someone gets promoted at 37signals, we post a company-wide message in Basecamp so everyone knows. Here's a real example of a message that covers two promotions (Silvia and Lewis): public.app.basecamp.com/p/Qp… Posting the message gives everyone a chance to celebrate, for teammates to post comments of congratulations, and for future employees to be able to anticipate the excitement of their own potential promotions down the road. Promotions aren't ephemeral events, they're permanent celebratory milestones. That's why they get a full post, not just a mention or chat line somewhere. And since all posts in Basecamp are private unless they're made public, when one is made public we add a little flag to the top right of the page. You can click that link to turn off the private share whenever you'd like. You also have the option to share comments, or not. In the case above I'm also sharing comments.

The Jason Arday story is becoming a national scandal. What began as a vaguely amusing parable of our times, a schadenfreude-filled exposé of the left's remarkable gullibility, has now morphed into something far more sinister. For now we learn that Scotland Yard attempted to silence a journalist who tried to expose Arday's claims. In fact, they spent four months investigating him. ✍️ James Hanson Article | spectator.com/article/the-ja… | @jhansonradio

Chat control in the EU, VPN restrictions in the UK. All in service of ensuring that the natives don't dare critique the regimes online. When the Brits and the rest of Europe has finally had enough of this, it'll be an explosive moment.
Andy Burnham has confirmed he’ll restrict VPNs, potentially bringing Britain in line with China, Russia and Iran. Starmer’s censorship regime will be expanded and deepened. Big Burnham will be watching you, says Fraser Myers buff.ly/nlycxhq

Love Europe. Hate the EU.
🇪🇺 Chat Control has passed 😔 They can and will now legally scan any person's messages, emails and photos you send without a warrant The way they passed this law when the majority of the European Parliament was against it will shock you: They waited until most EP members were on holiday so only a few were present and then created an "urgent" vote for it to pass it through There's nothing democratic about any of it and big powerful forces are behind this that can manipulate the EU for whatever they want Democracy in Europe died a bit today 😔
