Reddit Co-Founder Alexis Ohanian Joins Billionaire Frank McCourt’s Bid for TikTok: Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian has joined billionaire Frank McCourt’s bid to acquire TikTok as a strategic adviser. McCourt’s internet advocacy group, Project Liberty, announced that Ohanian—an investor and husband of tennis legend Serena Williams—has joined the consortium dubbed “The People’s Bid for TikTok.” Confirming his… creebhills.com/2025/03/alexis-

Apparently billionaire Frank McCourt (I don't know who they are) is planning on buying TikTok's American operations and making it part of "Project Liberty", where the point is said to be decentralization.

Anybody know who this person is and how the project works?

After a weekend spent mostly indoors to avoid temperatures that hit or neared triple digits Saturday and Sunday, I’m flying to Los Angeles Tuesday for a grab-bag of reasons that include trying out Waymo’s robotaxi service there (which may make me feel like I’m living in the future), covering VidCon Anaheim (which is all but assured to make me feel old).

Patreon readers got an extra post from me Friday: my thoughts on reading Siddharth Kara’s brutal report on cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives, and then comparing that to Apple and Tesla’s supply-chain transparency reports.

6/18/2024: Google’s Third Beta of Android 15 Is Out, and It Has Some Handy New Security Features, PCMag

The fourth piece I’ve writen about the next version of Android had the least news about new features, because at this point in the development cycle Google is basically done announcing new features.

6/19/2024: Billionaire Frank McCourt Shares His Vision for a Decentralized, User-Owned TikTok, PCMag

I had thought this session could yield a good post, and it did not disappoint–even if McCourt’s answers onstage glossed over large parts of his “Project Liberty” proposal.

6/19/2024: What does AI mean for remote work?, Collision

My first panel at Collision–featuring Bhavin Shah, founder and CEO of Moveworks, and Jenny Fielding, co-founder and managing partner at Everywhere Ventures–was the last one added to my schedule and featured the largest audience, thanks to its spot on the event’s center stage.

6/20/2024: 1Password Adds New Account Recovery and Device Addition Options, PCMag

I need to revise this post with some extra details about the new device-addition user experience that 1Password’s PR folks provided Friday afternoon.

6/20/2024: Robots and humans: Partners in progress, Collision

Clock management can be tricky with three other speakers on stage (Erik Nieves, CEO of Plus One Robotics; Tessa Lau, co-founder of Dusty Robotics; and Etienne Lacroix, founder and CEO of Vention), but I managed to end this thing within 10 seconds of schedule. My fellow speakers helped immensely by sharing some enlightening anecdotes (for instance, Lau noting that Dusty’s construction-site-markup robots often get nicknamed “WALL-E” by human co-workers) and not stepping on each other’s lines.

6/20/2024: Revolutionizing email collaboration, Collision

At 25 minutes, this session was unusually long by Web Summit standards. And Superhuman founder and CEO Rahul Vohra was unusually poised and on-message in his answers to my questions about this paid e-mail service’s new AI features.

6/21/2024: Ep 101 SmartTechCheck Podcast — Qualcomm, Surgeon General warning, Apple WWDC recap, TikTok, Mark Vena

I had just enough time after getting home from Dulles to get lunch and get in a nap before joining this podcast recording.

6/22/2024: Rob Pegoraro Visits Washington Apple Pi, Washington Apple Pi

I had expected this would be an in-person talk like the one I did last June, but instead I spoke to the members of this longtime computer user group via Zoom. That meant I could not give away any tech-event swag but did allow me to share links to the stories I mentioned in Zoom’s chat window.

Decided to start reading up on "#ProjectLiberty", #billionaire #FrankMcCourt's plan to "save the internet!" or whatever, seeing as he's running ads...

Setting aside the untrustworthiness of lone billionaires, their megalomaniacal goals, and their grandiosely named political initiatives, I don't quite understand these goals, or how #McCourt "plans" to "fix" the supposed "problems" he's pointing to. We know #Twitter and #Facebook are bad, and we know why: this isn't new ground he's treading.

Part of me also thinks if one of these billionaires wants to put their money where their mouth is, they could always put it behind an actual project that might actually improve the way social media is done, like #Fediverse. I feel like even a tiny bit of this money thrown behind some server funds and #Mastodon code bounties could be a game-changer.

Then again, I have my doubts that this is actually about supporting the common good and not some self-righteous political goal...

A veces, echar un vistazo a la carrera de algunos escritores que, antes que nosotros, llegaron al éxito, deviene en esperanza y atrae cierta ilusión y motivación a nuestras solitarias existencias e iluminan un poco esa cueva en la que nos encerramos a crear. No pretendo con esta publicación deciros que hay una edad para publicar y alcanzar la cumbre del éxito, que, para mí, no es otra cosa que poder vivir holgadamente de esto, sino todo lo contrario. No hay edad que determine nuestro tiempo de gloria. De hecho, y sin que esto desmotive a nadie, es posible que muchos ni siquiera la rocemos con nuestros desgastados dedos. Pero, y esto es algo que no es secreto, todo es posible. Perseverancia, dedicación, pasión... Estaréis hartos de oír estas palabras, pero son ciertas. Considero que nunca dejamos de aprender, tampoco hay edad para eso. Sea como sea, espero que vuestra hora del encumbramiento esté más cerca de los 20 que de los 100. Feliz día de letras y, por favor, no dejéis de intentarlo. Ni, por supuesto, de escribir.

🤔 La verdad es que todos los libros de son autobiográficos y eso les, da, imprime algo especial a sus historias...

📖 ... es una especie de diario de su vida como profesor... quizás no está tan bien escrito como los otros dos... pero como docente, valoro lo que cuenta (incluso me identifico con mucho de lo que escribe)...

😅 Espero que no te defraude... 🤦
