scattered-thoughts.net • Scattered Thoughts: Speed matters
So few people think to upgrade how they move around their computer, but it can have huge impacts
It does mean being actively forthcoming about important questions and matters which are happening or on the horizon…often before you are fully comfortable with it. Honestly, if you never feel any discomfort about your level of transparency, you probably aren’t transparent enough .
charity.wtf • The Hierarchy Is Bullshit (And Bad For Business)
The presence of many nice-enough choices without any meaningful way to distinguish among them is a fundamental dysphoria of modern consumerism. Anybody can track in intimate detail how the wealthy and stylish spend their money via social media, and just when you’ve learned exactly what you can’t have, the internet swoops in to offer a look-for-less...

John Gruber • European Commission Launches Investigation Against Microsoft for Integrating Teams With Office
I think the bone I have to pick here is the choice of areas to legislate. What about Ad Tech? Search? These are much more concerning monopolies.

Czech president and writer Vaclav Havel:
“Hope (...) is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously headed for early success, but, rather, an ability to work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed.

Along with many of the same fear-based questions Gilbert talked about, Hasan said people would always ask if he thought he was actually going to make it as a hugely successful comedian. “I don’t like that question,” he said. “I fundamentally don’t like that question.” Because that question implies that he was doing comedy as a means to some end
