indefensible: john gruber

like the time he launched the effort to build a new Mail client? It was called Letters or something and was like the king of vaporware

my markdown naivete joke almost made it past you, you're really off your game :)

[shakes fist]

Can't wait to see his take on Apple Euro fine. Will he manage more than the "Good" he gave UoC?

I finally unsubscribed after that particular hot take. What a fuckwit.

lol

I consider myself a connoisseur of button clickiness.

Blames the shitty new home button on China!

I could wind up in the minority on this point, but hands-on room feedback was on my side, and, well, I consider myself a connoisseur of button clickiness.

Blames the shitty new home button on China!

lol - the obvious reason is that they want to have a year of feedback on a home button-less iPhone before they move to the edge to edge, no-button iPhone 8 as is the rumor - but yes, let's blame China Grubs

instead of a home button u throw it (or yrself) in the river

pinboard going in on df right now

I make sure to block The Deck with hand-crafted, elegant code I wrote myself.

lol

it's the platonic ideal of ad blocking code

refuse to update it or allow anyone to make changes, imo

congrats to slutsky!

oh boy did someone find slocki's movie?

lol the streams are crossing

congratulations to the tories

please tell me at least a hundred people have responded to goole's link with a link to his tories congrats tweet

I expect Tim Cook to handle himself just fine. I think he’ll leave Trump Tower with his dignity, integrity, and Apple Inc.’s interests under a Trump administration intact. (Getting a bill passed to repatriate foreign-held dollars at a reasonable tax rate could happen in the post-Trump political climate.) But, man, to be a fly on the wall in that room if Steve Jobs were still alive…

worst slashfic ever

congratulations to the tories

steve wld tell trump whats what if he were still of this earth

the crazy dead man had ideas

"you shd use helvetica font"

tbf i would actually like to be a fly on the wall if jobs and trump had a chat

congratulations to the tories

I am a designer who studies iconography

ah iconography the study of computer icons

"he's got a master's degree.... in Science!"

For those of you who erroneously claim I never link to stories about Republicans with approval, here you go: I love this. I hope they succeed. These are Republicans whose eyes are wide open to reality. (Maybe not the reality of today’s Republican party, but the reality of climate change.)

Nice to see some other major western democracy have an unusual election for once. Congratulations to the Tories.

unsubscribed from him like last year sometime and I'm glad all I'm missing is yardsticks and beacons

yeah i used to read that site embarrassingly all the time and today was the first time ive been there in who knows

we were young once

tbh i think i did end up there recently when i googled something about markdown lol

This is about as vigorous a response to Susan Fowler’s allegations as Kalanick could possibly pursue. Eric Holder isn’t going to sweep anything under the rug.

If Holder goes after Uber like he went after Wall st., Kalanick will just pay a fine and be done with it.

Personally, I think these establishments are morally repulsive.

I understand that Asian culture is different from U.S. culture, and I understand that part of Asian culture — certainly in South Korea — is “doing business” in such establishments. But The Information’s story doesn’t say the Uber execs were “doing business” with Koreans. They were a bunch of Americans out amongst themselves, so the cultural norms of South Korea aren’t relevant.

when you take a stand against something you think sounds sketchy and end up sounding much sketchier yourself

haven't looked at this guy's page in an age but saw a headline somewhere else about the deck shutting down and thought 'I bet he writes an 18k word requiem for it'

feels good to know the studio 60 on the sunset strip of tech blogs is still soldiering on

and it aspires to be the newsroom

lol

i do not believe john gruber knows what "memory management" means https://daringfireball.net/linked/2017/04/21/phone-speed-test

One of my very favorite songs the only song I know from Chris Cornell — the opening credits theme to Casino Royale. A great song that just fits the movie so damn well.

that intellectual curiosity of really loving a song someone did as a theme tune and never seeking out anything else

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TORIES

I sent him that after Trump won. He didn't say anything
