> Woz still gets invited to the HQ to this day

Isn't Woz technically still an honorary Apple employee, or am I misremembering that?

> they sometimes veer off into unrelated Apple news...

Gruber has always done that. Years ago I made a Chrome extension to filter out all of his detours into baseball, James Bond, politics, and I can't remember if I let the Kubrick stuff stay in or not.

Ultimately I just stopped using Macs, so the blog was no longer relevant to me. Mark Gurman seems to have taken over the role of Apple whisperer anyway.

I didn't know people read him regularly. All i know about him is he made markdown and then cried when people tried to standardize it because it was underspecified.

Stopped reading DF ever since his unhinged posts mocking the war crimes being committed in Palestine at the hands of Israel.

"F*k around and find out" he quote tweeted a news article that talked about how phone and internet services were cut out in Gaza as armed Israeli occupational forces entered Gaza.

I never understood the Woz praise to be honest. Nice dude, did some good work in the 80s, been pretty much coasting ever since. With 40+ years and literal billions the shroud of exceptionalism kind of disappears when nothing much is done with it. I feel like half of it is just because he’s the “good Steve.”
