I write Daring Fireball and created Markdown.
I was 70-60 this season!

Eh. Probably better for me to cross-post. For reasons, I don’t think these are good posts for Threads, but they’re probably equally good on Masto as here.

I don’t know what I’m more curious about. (a) What you think I do that requires or even benefits all that much from “access”? (b) How you square your belief here with things I’ve written like, say, to name just one, this: daringfireball.net/2024/11/i_wond…

Butt cheeks aside, I’d also credit Levi’s as one of the very (very) few logos / wordmarks where mixing lower- and uppercase glyphs at the same height actually looks natural and cool.

I suspect (but can’t say I know) that Dye was thirsty for the visibility of a prime keynote role, but that’s not uncommon within Apple. And there’s a strong culture, especially in the era of pre-recorded keynotes, of putting the people responsible for X on camera to introduction of X, whatever X is.

I’m not sure, but it doesn’t matter. It either is AI slop or it was made to look like AI slop. Either way it sucks. There are no props in the show of a carton that claims to be both whole milk and lowfat.

And you know Google’s thinking on this how?

If that’s because of the DMA why is it available outside the EU?
