- Apple will forever be on my shit-list if they do not take advantage of the marketing opportunity involving “The Ultimate Computer” episode.
- Dear @spotify.com, please find a way to NOT reward AI generated music and bands. It has the potential to flood your system and drown out the human creators. Your market is humans who make music and fans who enjoy it. If you let AI take over, your marketplace will be destroyed.

- For search and so many other reasons. An independent Chrome would be better, but selling it to a company without such a large interest in advertising (or better yet, no interest in advertising at all) would do for now. Sell it to the Mozilla foundation. 😁 9to5google.com/2024/11/18/u...
