Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I […]

Girlfriend's Pixel is slowly dying so she decided to try an iPhone 16 Pro I had lying around. I don't think I've seen her hate a tech product more than this one yet 😂

I am toying with the idea of re-doing my old "why enthusiast brands will betray you" since it's 9 years old but people keep referencing it all the time.

Just tried the Meta RayBans Display today. I fully hope this company fails, but the product is very intriguing!
