When was the last time the owner of the NYT did a press conference?

It was four years ago this week that Epic Games launched so-called Project Liberty, their attempt to force Apple’s hand on external purchases. Lawsuits, DMA… And now we have third-party marketplaces and Fortnite back in the EU. It’s no longer crazy to imagine we’ll get this worldwide in 2-3 years.

Having one of those mornings where I sort of can’t believe how well this coding is going. Sometimes everything just works.

One advantage of using GitHub for questions tied into a blog is that you get a great archive of all the questions you asked and how people answered or contributed, going back to 2016.

BTW, I've started using Mastodon in place of GitHub for comments on posts like the one below. GitHub has a better model for text with comments, supports full Markdown the way it was meant to work. I have an instance of Masto that I can use that supports Markdown but they do an unacceptable rendering of links. Example post. I want a simple, widely accepted easy place to comment, on the social web, not Discourse or GitHub, that isn't controlled by one vendor (so ActivityPub for now is probably the best approach) and supports plain old Markdown without any weird embellishments. I don't work in the Mastodon world, I'm already committed to the projects I'm doing. But we could really use something nice, designed to plug into blogs. This is a good use-case, and it's pretty close.

I wrote rules for standards-makers and it caught on, and has been used by a few open source projects. I hope that the new rules for journalism, which is just getting started, will be similarly influential. If existing journalism is going to start working again, they're going to have to have some rules. Comments welcome on Mastodon.

Musk is just getting started

Podcast: 11 minutes. I see happy talk all over the place that Twitter is done, Musk is killing it, blah blah blah. It's bullshit. In the next few months Twitter is going to morph into the political system that Barack Obama could have and should have built. It turns out crea...

There are a lot of misses in the current Amtrak map. Las Vegas, which Brightline is making progress on. But one of the biggest has gotta be the station in Maricopa instead of Phoenix. Ridiculous that this route has been broken for decades. (Biden’s infrastructure deal will eventually fix it.)

For the first joint event with Joe and Kamala together, really smart to focus on healthcare and prescription drug costs. There has been real progress on this that Joe can talk about. It lets the crowd show their appreciation for the president, the press will cover it, and it highlights policy. 🇺🇸

Now that I’ve cancelled my NYT subscription, going to wind down my daily use of Wordle too. So many ads now, and the fun has run its course. Planning to stop playing after puzzle 1200.

August 15, 2004: My audio blog post from NYC, from my Podcast0 feed. Had just listened to an Adam Curry podcast and one from the Gillmor Gang. Played a bit of music, described how a podcatcher would work, pretty close to the way they work today. Shortly after the feature would be in Radio UserLand. It was the only episode I did in August 2004. The next one is on September 1 and there are a total of nine shows in September, including the first Trade Secrets which is a podcast Adam and I did together. Here's the archive for this blog in August 2004.

Happy NBA schedule release day! It drops this afternoon and I’m excited enough that I will probably watch it live on ESPN2. @cheesemaker and I are still trying to visit all the arenas in the country and it’s taking forever, need to hit a couple more this season.
