#TWiT local timeline, Andy @ihnatko has enabled Threads' Fediverse federation! Give that a follow as he most likely will be using that account more than his Mastodon one.
@briannawu I think what the folks on #TWiT 972 were ignoring (re:TikTok) was NOT just the dissemination of US citizens’ data to foreign companies (like data brokers do), but the ability for those foreign companies to influence - in a direct way by showing you different videos, etc - in the app itself. They directly control what we see based on data they get from us! Dangerous!
🎙️ On TWiT: @leo, @strngwys, @mmasnick & Louise Matsakis discuss the latest! 🌐 Trump's TikTok U-turn, Spain's clash with Worldcoin, OpenAI's new board, Palantir's Army deal, & AI's eerie advances. What's your take on these tech twists? #TWiT#TechNews

Wow! #TWiT really unloaded on #applevisionpro on Sunday - with no one taking any position except for “#Apple failed on this!” or “they didn’t dogfood this” without knowing ANYthing about what Apple actually DID do…
Not ONE person had one or tried one (except @leo - and that was only for a few minutes). I’m really disappointed in the entire panel! 🤬
Interesting hearing people working at tech platforms blaming influencers for the worst of social media. The two work very much hand in hand. Gamifying reach creates these things. That’s why I much prefer this and Nextcloud for my primary platforms. #TWIT
I genuinely hope everyone who gets a Vision Pro loves it. I hope my initial misgivings about it are wrong and that a use case presents itself immediately. But I dunno man. It’s like I said the other week: this is a dev kit that is being positioned as a consumer gadget and I just haven’t been “sold” yet.
I love nothing more than to spend money on useless shit, but I need to be sold. And so far, I haven’t been sold.
@film_girl Sorry, aren't you the person who got talked into the Meta RayBans by @MikeElgan just a little bit ago - to the point of hovering over the "buy" button - simply because they were RayBans and Mike said they were cool on #TWiT. (asking for a podcast listenership)... 😉
How I read this is that Mike needs to be given a Apple Vision Pro Press pack to take to Oaxaca, so he can tell you how good they are at taking spacial movies of breakfast (and his wife walking through a lilac field). 😂
One thing that would make me immediately sign up for #ClubTWiT is to be able to "guide" my $7/mo to specific podcasts - like @incomparable does.
What we just went through wrt @leo HAVING to end some podcasts is they chose which ones to end. I'm sure they had figures to work from, but I'd like to make sure #TWiT, #MacBreakWeekly, and #SecurityNow are the LAST to go - if go they must.
This may be the way it would automatically happen cos of listenership #s, but I'd feel better if I could "vote".
Time for the mandatory screenshots of my year of #music and #podcast consumption. As usual, my podcast list is missing #TWiT and some other shows as I often watch them live or vod on YouTube.
Elon Musk has started an electric-vehicle price war that Tesla can't finish.
Under increasing pressure from new competition, Tesla spent the past year slashing the average price of its models by roughly 25%. The Model 3 fell from $48,000 to $44,380. The luxury Model S, meanwhile, plunged from a high of $130,000 to $96,380. The cars, as they say, have been priced to move.
The head #Twit just doesn't learn 💩
Can we not get him on some kind of medication... :ablobpats:
whenever Paris Martineau is on #TWiT she brings the 🔥 but listening to her on #TWiG give @jeffjarvis grief about all sorts of things was extra special Great show this week @leo Ant @jasonhowell
I don't even get past the first ad break on the most recent episode of #thisweekintech and I've already heard that only market-based crypto solutions can stop global warming, and that the #VisionPro will be an emotional revolution.
This show is quickly feeling like everything bad about tech reporting.
Great episode of #TWiT this week Kudos to @leo and the team for having Cory Doctorow @pluralistic on with Rebecca Giblin Great conversations, intelligent analysis, & possible solutions to deshittify our current timeline Looking forward to Cory’s upcoming books
