Nick Gerakines@ngerakines.me · yesterdayOof. Bending spoons now owns Evernote, Meetup, Eventbrite, Vimeo, and a handful of others. 1.2B is pretty substantial. Are those products better now?
I think you might be able to make a pretty compelling case that short form vertical video is the worst thing to ever happen to humanity.
Razzball@razzball.bsky.social · 2d agoThe whole Mariners' pen believes Babe Ruth didn't exist. Kinda want all MLB players to believe this and make the owners agree to it in next CBA
Ok so how about: I'll make a unique piece of Ambient Electronic Music or Harsh Noise Wall (your choice) for the first ten people who show me a screenshot of the end of this (short, fun to fill out!) survey.
Mike Rugnetta@mikerugnetta.com · 6d agoHey, you got a sec? If so – and you *don't* listen to @neverpo.st – can you fill out this survey? Radiotopia wants to know what your FUCKIN PROBLEM IS (just kidding, we're doing audience development research, ok thanks love you byyyyeeee)
This Jules Rawlinson record slaps. I don't even really know how to describe it. Click...core? Experimental IDM adjacent. Techno made from all the bits sawed off to make other tracks.

People studied CompSci because everything was computers. People studied Gender because as it turns out, everything actually is Gender.
I understand why but: nothing from Thrills! Which I think I listened to approx 1000 times after a friend introduced me to it the year (or one after?) I moved to NYC

Oh, this is wild, LMAO. Everyone, listen to this episode! The tl;dr for the peeps in academia: Remove the comments from your TeX files before uploading them to the arXiv. And don't put any sensitive data in there in the first place.
Mike Rugnetta@mikerugnetta.com · 6d agoHey! You! We made a @neverpo.st and put it out. Today! It's about people accidentally publishing gossip, API tokens, SSNs and CC #'s with their physics and math research papers. Also news about Max Shorts, France banning social media for teens, the Delhi Jantar Mantar protests and more.
