I still remember the day when Nate Weiner invited me to join the Product Meetings at Pocket. It was the first time I’d worked in an organization where engineering was given a seat at that table and a voice in this conversation; it meant the world to me.

We have released Pocket 8.0.5 for iOS. One of the biggest changes is that you can now install the iPad app on M1 macs.

To make room for this new experience, we have removed the original Pocket macOS app from sale.

I have a lot of warm feelings for our original macOS app: I was the sole maintainer for seven years, and it offered me a regular respite from the world of touch-based operating systems—menus, windows, and processes, oh my. It had an eleven year run, and its users loved it. 🫗

Game Porting Toolkit analysis by Digital Foundry suggests the M1 Max is in line with a GTX 1060 or RTX 2060 from 4-7 years ago. This represents what a game dev who does the absolute minimum will get, which is... not great. Supposedly the 1.0.2 update improved performance not reflected here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTsc_UvlT3E

There was a time in the last few decades where I would have held my emotions in check until after I’d read the opinions. I believe in the rule of law, after all. But this current court has been so blatantly obvious in its political agenda that I no longer can maintain the suspension of disbelief required to read the majority’s opinion as anything else other than a post-hoc attempt to rationalize a specific ideological objective.

SCOTUS is on a roll.

In addition to continuing to treat poor students as piggy banks, they also decided that web creatives can deny services to LGBTQIA customers.

This case should never even have been granted cert: it’s a fake case with imaginary facts—the plaintiff never even had a queer customer.

Does this mean a web host might soon make the same argument for why it can’t host a queer website? I’m sure we’ll find out.
