Michael Tsai blogging about the Apple-funded study on DMA fallout:
Now Apple is acting as though it and end users are the only parties that matter, so by implication the money must have been wasted. There’s no consideration that maybe these funds helped some developers stay in business or invest more in the products, both of which would be beneficial to the platform as a whole (including Apple).

A short podcast about Sarah Kendzior being banned from Bluesky, and why this shouldn't be like any other such event.
We should learn, that systems like Bluesky depend on moderation, and they don't have a clear business model, and they've grown very large, and they can't afford to hire moderators who understand the difference between a line from a powerful song, and a threat.
If we want a literate web, and I desperately want that myself, it has to be made in a different way.
That's what this short podcast is about.
And to Sarah, if you hear this, I love your work. You've done here what you usually do so well, you've shown us the truth. Keep on truckin! Dave Winer
