    I'm such a big fan of Mike Masnick, the rare tech writer who doesn't cower to powerful people with big wallets, isn't afraid of shaming companies in their own tech-heavy retirement fund, and isn't...

    A profile of one of my favorite people @mmasnick.bsky.social written by one of my favorite people @kashhill.bsky.social  —  I pushed hard for this headline to be “No one gives you a statue for being reasonable”  —  https://www.nytimes.com/...

    Wow. Awesome recognition for @mmasnick in the NYT. I owe a lot to Mike as I believe he was the first person to pay me to write on the internet in I think 2006.

    Great piece by @kashhill in today's @nytimes about @mmasnick. Mike has been giving me peace of mind and grounded advice around tech issues for years and especially regarding AI during the current industry strike. He's a beacon in the dark. https://www.nytimes.com/...

    I met Mike @mmasnick way back when he was following what we were doing at NIN with pay-anything album downloads, torrents, Creative Commons, & other things the labels hated. @techdirt is invaluable in tech panics. I spoke with Mike about AI art last year: https://www.techdirt.com…
