For people who are getting on the Microsoft hype train:
Satya Nadella should be doing much better
(This list doesn’t even include their support for ICE or what they’ve also done in the past year.)

I’m back here again.
I would love to read the Halide blog but in choosing Medium as a host, Sebastiaan de With and Ben Sandofsky have apparently decided they’re opposed to the concept of open feed-reading technology.
Why even bother with other silos? They should just use Facebook.
I need some more time to adjust to the pandemic and the impact it has had on our lives. I should have done this earlier but in this instance later is very much better than never:
Today I Learned is now inactive for an undetermined period of time.
I’ll be around, mostly.
The introductory video for Descript is really good.
✅ publish a newsletter
😊
Quick reminder! 🙋♂️
I launched the new newsletter for Today I Learned earlier this week. 🎉
Issue 1 of ICYMI, the weekly digest, will be sent to subscribers in a few hours from now. 🕙
The next time you wonder why it is that Manton Reece doesn’t submit the Micro.blog Mac app to the App Store, please consider the shoddy state of the App Review Team.
It is no business of Apple’s what it is that developers put on their website.
I’m not one of those people.
Just @brentsimmons being classy as fuck again. 😎
Late last night I launched the Today I Learned newsletter. Woke up this morning still feeling that same positive energy from having done so; it feels good to start something that is both new and complementary to the existing work.
But excuse me, I’m not going to write about it anymore. Instead I’m going to do my best to do what I love and care about, professionally. It’s good for my mental health to pursue what makes me happy. It’s more important now than ever.

Making a new thing is so much fun. 😎
(bonus: promise fulfilled)
Today is a very good day to be listening to Zoë Keating, whose music is always a welcome campanion whether I’m working on some physical chores, admin tasks, or @til. 🎶
I’m Rene Ritchie and This… Is Rene Ritchie.
It’s great to see Rene building his own thing, especially as he is a person who speaks with such clarity, and care for different points of view. Both the tech media and YouTube scenes need as much of this as can be contributed.
The New York Times uses lots of cookies, of course.
Of the many they are willing to admit exist, there is one for “Remember opt-out preferences”… it will stay on your computer for 10 years.
This is what the web looks like in its broken state.
Riot looks like a nice option for chat. It is even the chosen partner of Mozilla as their IRC replacement.
I like the idea behind Keybase but it is VC-funded. 😬
Quick update for @til:
Another Who story being published tomorrow, this time from Russell T. Davies 😱😱😱

I just wrote the @til Update post for the teacher-specific hosting subscription and it felt pretty damn good. Even better: updating the History page for it.
Speaking of chill, everybody is super cool on the NetNewsWire #socializing Slack channel.
Will Smith posted a 90-minute Lo-fi video to his YouTube channel and it’s pretty nice.
This is great: 1997.chat – AIM is back! 😂
