"I mean, my god. Ford handed over #OntarioPlace to a private company for
95
YEARS
And we aren’t allowed to see the paperwork. That should be front page. Every damn day."

And candidates Bailao, Saunders & Furey support it.

Reddit CEO:
Apps like Apollo are riding on our coattails.

Reality:
#Reddit is riding on the coattails of its users. Reddit does not create content. Users do.

The welcome for a delegation of African leaders to Kyiv today was a mix of Ukrainian applause… and Russian missiles detonating. Despite this, the delegation stopped in Bucha to pay their respects to the civilians killed during the initial months of the invasion.

Questions about Apple Vision Pro?

A dev who got to try the demo answers your questions in an AMA...

Torn about posting this, supporting Reddit, but want to support the dev here. And certainly a fascinating read.

Reddit CEO:

"If a moderator team unanimously
decides to stop moderating, we will invite new, active moderators to keep these spaces open and accessible to users. If there is no consensus, but at least one mod who wants to keep the community going, we will respect their decisions and remove those who no longer want to moderate from the mod team."

This is a strike. Reddit CEO taking hard line, refusing to negotiate.

There an alternative to #Reddit? Please suggest.

1/ Wounded 'Donetsk People's Republic' (DNR) soldiers are being kept as virtual prisoners in basements with little food, inadequate medical treatment and no contact with the outside world, according to relatives. Some are sent back to the front line to fight "on crutches". ⬇️

A $500M underground parking garage was added to #OntarioPlace redevelopment at request of bidders.

"Its wild that the province could've earmarked $500M towards transit and made that the priority way of getting to this new “destination,” but Doug Ford with his car blinders just can’t imagine any other way."

(Ford appointed, car-centric mayoral candidate Mark Saunders is also one of the decision makers on the project)

I just checked the exchange rate and 3500$US=4,705.609$CA

which means that in Canada will start north of 5k CA when if becomes available. Ouch. Don't know who will be buying these. and how will they entice developers to this platform if the user base is going to be very small?

For $3500, there has *better* be a tiny Main Street Electrical Parade on my kitchen counter!

@glennf the whole shtick of them trying to convince us this will be good for work is kind of silly. it obviously won't. content consumption and gaming is what this will be good for, not productivity.

@asymco thanks. I figured as much but thought I'd ask.

@chockenberry there will be some people who will like it. but the video chat thing will not be a big draw I think. The big draw IMO is content consumption and games. which is why it was so disappointing they didn't show any big name games. Apple needs to bite a bullet and buy a AAA game studio and make gaming in Apple ecosystem appealing.

@davemark yes, particularly for a one person device. but the fact that this is called Pro says that there will be a non pro option too.
