Startups love to brag about "blitzscaling." But if you actually blitzed, historically, you eventually ran out of supply lines and died. Which I guess makes blitzscaling an accurate descriptor.
It’s barely 9am and I can already tell this is going to be the stupidest fucking shit I’ve read all day image
The “AI Browser Wars” are fake. Mainstream users don't care about browsers. Never have, never will. Defaults win. The real fight is enterprise control and distribution deals. https://www.theindex.media/p/the-ai-browser-wars-don-t-matter

If Mamdani actually believed in freedom he’d delete social media and move to Linux and build his own distro and host his own server and found his own city and write its own constitution and grow its own food and invent its own language THE HYPOCRITE
If I had a spare $5k to invest in a new Linux laptop, new software & a non Apple // Google phone, I'd probably do it. But it'd mean walking away from most of the apps I know and love, every productivity workflow, etc. And I've already lost thousands of subscribers and tens of thousands in revenue + costs by shutting down my Twitter back when Musk took over and moving off Substack when their Nazi bullshit landed. As an indie writer / creator, it's exhausting to keep falling behind like this.
If you love beautiful, indie software you have to be feeling increasingly shit about Apple and the OS these apps run on. It's rough for the devs and the users.

people say “time heals all wounds” but time also gave me back pain so it’s kind of a mixed record
