Apple rejects investor calls to end their DEI programs. Good ✌️

@9to5mac idk, App Tracking Transparency was pretty great

But I guess we're ignoring features that cause Zuck to cry after an earnings call

@bentoh yeah with those dietary restrictions (more like suggestions) I’ve been exploring more Asian foods

With that being said, I’m Italian: bread and cheese is kind of our thing

I hope the Microsoft team doesn't forget about Loop, I would like to keep using it for work, I enjoy it much more than OneNote and, gods forbid, Word

I've been trying to cut back, but damn it's been hard

You know how hard it is to avoid gluten and dairy (to which I am intolerant) when you live in Wisconsin and the bakery team at work is really good?

@SteveDuncan the whole thesis of the article is literally “go vote”

@SteveDuncan which companies?

When’s the last time you saw an ad for Tesla (famously doesn’t do that save for like one time)?

When’s the last time you saw an ad for Instagram?

Most advertising for iPhones is done by phone carriers, not Apple

Also $10 Million on ad spend on $1 Billion in revenue is…1%

Point being these companies have grown so large any affect is a rounding error or a tax write off it’s basically that $1.99 subscription you forgot you had

I have to tell you guys it’s a personal favorite past time to be just the mouthpiece for whatever Mark decides we are doing. Did you see me defending our politics filter just a few months ago? Well now look at me, like I didn’t even say it.

Without non-competes, you run the risk of laying off enough employees to create new competition in the market

Having that kind of consequence is probably important

Mass layoffs and non-competes are just a little bit incompatible if you care at all about the unemployment rate

Ray Tracing expectations: “Wow this looks so realistic”

Ray Tracing reality: “My computer is on fire, I’m getting 3 frames, and why is wood shiny”
