@fgtech It is.

@torb yeah definitely weird.

@lwdupont You need to have multiple different keyboard languages enabled and a hardware keyboard connected, which isn’t an uncommon scenario when writing on an iPad.

@petebrown I mean, it’s one dude who has shipped five apps and keeps adding features such as transcripts and e2e encrypted notes. I don’t think slowing down the feature churn to test and fix longstanding UI and editing widget bugs is too much of an ask

@torb Never too late to start!

@petebrown Right!

@Denny Thanks!

@darby3 Techcrunch has the full memo

The only concrete change they’ve announced is bringing their Pocket, content, and AI teams into the Firefox Organisation. It’s light on actual strategy or plan

@torb Yeah. They’ve been directionless for a while now.

@annahavron 🙂

@paulcraig901 Thanks!

@torb Yeahk, if you’re deeply involved in tech circles at the moment, the AI Bubble is going to be overwhelming. And if you have VC funding it’s probably going to be impossible.

@torb Yeah, same. There’s also no way I’ll ever invest in their VR platform as a user the same way I have in iPhones and iPads if this is going to be their attitude towards developers.

@pimoore Thanks!

@torb Yeah. Absolutely true.

@faraixyz No, if I’ve run into that I’ve blanked it out of memory 🙂

And, yeah, it seems like we have a combination of old SEO practices spreading, new LLM tactics mass-producing gunk, and Google’s lay-offs leaving them less well-equipped to deal.

@paulcraig901 I know that. I spent a few years working in publishing. The distinction in the post between digital and PoD is deliberate. IME the major PoD services have higher variability than digital print runs.

@numericcitizen Thanks!

@maique Thanks!

@fgtech True.

@pimoore Yeah. Same.

@odd IMO the VCs know exactly what they’re doing.

@artkavanagh It had a lot of really neat ideas.

@V_ An absolute cutie.

@odd Over the past few years the quality and reliability of Apple's main OS releases has been absolutely atrocious. These days I try to wait until there's at least a .1 release out before I upgrade.
