like, I dunno, reports of moderately-sized national disasters in distant states, or finding out that someone has been talking shit about you

eh, I've said hyperbolic stuff on twitter too
siracusa's OS X writeups for Ars Technica obviously all classic, I just wanted to dump some mock rage on the internet

ya siracusa is one of the better tech writers for sure i just thought that tweet was funny

would you guys rank them: gruber, then marco, then siracusa from worst to best? are there any writers who aren't part of their immediate circle that you would rank higher?
― Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 29 May 2013 17:27 (eleven years ago) link
I don't really consider Siracusa part of that armchair typographer crowd tbh.
― caek, Wednesday, 29 May 2013 18:02 (eleven years ago) link
from worst to best? the opposite tbh. siracusa, marco, grub. when gruber is on he's on imo.

i agree with this, but he rarely is any more. he hasn't written two articles in a row that weren't embarrassingly bad or worse for like 6 years.
― caek, Wednesday, 29 May 2013 19:34 (eleven years ago) link
marco is basically valueless as a writer though, so year, stet otm.
― caek, Wednesday, 29 May 2013 19:35 (eleven years ago) link
in this post he compares tumblr dude to steve jobs... twice http://www.marco.org/2013/05/20/one-person-product nice way to simultaneously pat yrself on the back for being involved w something so important and backhandedly call yr boss a sociopath - tumblr is a nice website and all but its not exactly an iphone

i didn't get those same sinister messagings from that article, but i did from the one about phish.
― Philip Nunez, Thursday, 30 May 2013 00:23 (eleven years ago) link
Marco's writing is worthless, and so is The Magazine. The true believers in Tumblr are the same breed who jizzed on and on about MySpace until that platform got blown out of the water. I'm sure that soon, we'll be hearing about The Next Wordpress...oh wait, isn't that supposed to be SVBTLE or something?
Stet massively OTM.

A reader asked via email:
How do you store your coffee?
I get this question a lot.
― the Quim of Bendigo (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 30 May 2013 23:14 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, the true horror comes when these guys link to something that has open comments, and then you see what their comments would be like if only they enabled them.
It's the one awesome think about their schticks that means we're spared page after page of "awesome post, you really hit the nail on the head with your writing as usual, Marco".

Making iOS software that doesn't sync is ... it's like making a phone where you can only call people in the same room. Or something.
