- Comment on "I know how devastating it is, and my heart's with all of you": Doom's John Romero responds to id Software reportedly losing half their team 5 days ago:
Back in the 90s I sent a fan email to John Romero, and he was gracious enough to send me a reply. I don’t think I still have an archive of my emails from that long ago, but it left me with an impression of him as being a good guy. I wouldn’t be too hard on him about “being relevant”. As one of the founding members of id software, it’s not surprising that news outlets will pick up on his comments, whether you think he deserves it or not.

Weird to compare it to Windows when you could compare it to Compiz from the same era.
- Comment on Framework Laptop 13 Pro To Begin Shipping In July 4 weeks ago:
What would it take for me to reconsider Framework? I think if their CEO stepped down and they published a binding ethics document to govern their external project donations, that might make me reconsider. Right now though, I can’t imagine rewarding their ambivalence towards the rhetoric of some of the projects they supported.

You say, “what’s the privacy policy for your AI assistant?” and then keep asking questions like that until the person running the call gets annoyed that this has taken over their agenda and they’ll ban people from using unapproved AI agents on calls.
“Where is the data stored?” “Has this tool been approved by IT?” “Did you get consent from everyone to be recorded?” “Does the employee handbook say you can record other employees?” “Is my voice going to be used by an AI company to train a model?” etc.
