I miss the days when you could complain about an API on social media and someone at the company might actually do something about it.

Many shops were on the brink already, these tariffs are going to be downright catastrophic for bike brands and shops, especially the indies.
legitimately worried about my local shop
“It’s difficult to overstate how existential the tariffs are for the bicycle industry. Imports account for 97% of the bikes purchased in the United States, of which 87% come from China, making it ‘one of the most import-dependent industries in the U.S.’” heatmap.news/economy/trum...

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.

E-bikes support fewer car trips.

E-Bikers Ride Much Farther and More Frequently Than Regular Bikers
They are not 'cheating,' but are serious transportation.

Where are all the 3rd-party Bluesky clients? Why did Mastodon get so many client options during the first exodus? The default app is fine enough but I’d really like Ivory for Bluesky.

Meta has such an institutional disdain for the idea of "Followers" which is great because their feed algorithms are also terrible. Your follows are meaningless and the recommendations are garbage so FB/IG/Threads feeds are near useless.
Instagram officially rolls out "trial reels", which give creators a way to test out videos by publishing them only to people who don't follow them (Aisha Malik/TechCrunch)

I genuinely cannot imagine myself wanting to write code without AI again. I can't go back.
