Years ago I shat on Woz here because he kept doing more and more histrionic things to stay relevant. That was years before his crypto. Obviously my comments got flagged. Good to be vindicated.

As much as I am a fan of Woz on his technical achievements, at least he knows that he fell off out of relevancy when he launched / shilled a crypto coin and now goes out to sell (mediocre) merch. I respect that grift.

DF (daringfireball) however, continues to be increasingly so irrelevant that they sometimes veer off into unrelated Apple news to increase their clicks on their blog, without knowing it.

In fact, it makes sense. Apple cares more about X than they do about DF. Not even Apple cares about DF anymore ever since they didn't invite the author over to the HQ.

Woz still gets invited to the HQ to this day.

> 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.

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.
