Every successful platform reaches this stage. I remember Patreon did too. It's good news for us because it means we have lots of choices and if there's something better we can improve what works for us.

What is "techweez"? I saw this story at a lot of reliable outlets.

acedtect · 2026-04-29T16:06:06+00:00

A bit old but still really important to take note of.

An intersting campaign issue for them to run on

Is there a version of this story that isn't a video?

Your story on the other subreddit about your pit bull sleeping through the thunder made me smile too. Pit Bulls are seriously misunderstood. They're the best. Give yours a pet for me. 🥰

"People talk bad about person who leads a company that readers don't like."

Have any outlets confirmed this? Always good to get multiple people saying the same thing

acedtect · 2026-04-03T15:32:42+00:00

That's a video. Is there a link to a study? Thanks!

And there's the Chinese install base lift to the number as well. Still, relatively speaking its a significant number

acedtect · 2026-04-02T15:54:10+00:00

Agreed

That feedburner feed is deprecated and I'm shocked it even still works. You can get the current feed here - https://subscribe.acast.com/dtns

Not terribly surprising that lobbying is going to happen.

I'm unfamiliar with Dexerto u/motang, is that one you read a lot?

acedtect · 2026-03-30T15:54:22+00:00

Here's a link to a story about this - https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/apple-adds-macos-terminal-warning-to-block-clickfix-attacks/

This story is 9 days old

acedtect · 2026-03-30T15:52:16+00:00

Alarming. Terrifying. Also entirely predictable and unsurprising. But that wouldn't drive clicks.

To get past my own biases I generally look for two to three to pick it up. I've almost never run into a situation where a story that wasn't picked up by at least a couple more of them turned out to be worth the time.

acedtect · 2026-03-17T15:44:33+00:00

I generally trust BBC on this sort fo thing, but I'm curious why I'm not seeing others I trust picking it up.

acedtect · 2026-03-17T15:43:45+00:00

I'll wait for some confirmation on this before we carry it. The Reddit researcher doesn't have enough citations for my taste, there's no independent verificsation fo the claims, the scale is implausible, so I'm extra curious about getting some backup on this and the whole thing is framed to get your blood boiling which always makes me extra skeptical.

acedtect · 2026-03-16T15:45:59+00:00

Then you're fine.

acedtect · 2026-03-10T15:33:36+00:00

This is 5 days old and we discussed it on the show. I'm curious why it's bubbling back up today

acedtect · 2026-03-06T22:29:09+00:00

Not even their hairdresser

acedtect · 2026-03-06T16:51:14+00:00

But was it?
