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)

Apple shares are crashing as the company secures a new dominance over humanity.

The tally of people infected with the coronavirus after attending a high-profile CDC conference in April has risen to at least 181.

About 70% of participants who responded to a CDC survey said they did not wear masks at the event.

During El Niño, winds that usually push warmer water in the Pacific Ocean towards its west side weaken, allowing the warmer water to drift back towards the east and spread out over a larger area of the ocean. This leads to more moisture-rich air above the warmer ocean that alters the circulation of air in the atmosphere around the world. In North America, this typically causes Canada and the northern US to have a warmer, drier winter than normal while the southern states and Gulf coast tend to get wetter conditions.

1/ Russian space and rocket engineers are being recruited to join a new Russian army battalion called Uranus to fight in Ukraine. Advertisements published by Russia's space agency, Roscosmos, promise that it will "educate you with a strong spirit, will and body." ⬇️

Speaking through the state media’s anonymous “informed sources,” it seems the Kremlin now openly acknowledges that Evan Gershkovich is a political hostage being held to pressure foreign journalists into shutting up about Russian war crimes. https://t.co/SsFusBRwmL

Much about Russiagate is ultimately unknowable. But there’s one episode that *is* knowable. It’s also the single-most important instance of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.

Incredibly, most commentators completely missed it.

My latest: Russiagate, pt. 4 🧵

Last week, I had a chance to visit @hypertalking’s (James’s) excellent collection of Mac-related stuff. He’s particularly interested in collecting 1990s Macs, which is the era of Apple history I don’t have a lot of personal experience with, so it was doubly exciting.

Here are some 100 photos from that visit:
