I run MacStories (npub1sz3…05rp) with Federico Viticci :ticciseal: (npub189s…3rm4) where we cover Apple, apps, videogames, and more.

I also co-host four MacStories podcasts: AppStories (npub1m4c…mvja) about the world of apps, MacStories Unwind (npub1hs7…m24r), covering favorite movies, TV, music, videogames, and other media, Ruminate Podcast (npub1jfp…fyy9), a show about the weird web and offbeat snacks, and NPC: Next Portable Console (npub1fw9…ezn2), a show about the games we take with us.

The past several weeks have revealed that startups to tech giants have run amok, trouncing the property rights across every creative industry. It's wrong and needs to be stopped.
At @npub1sz3…05rp, @npub189s…3rm4 and I are calling for regulation in the US and EU, our home bases, but it's a problem that should be addressed by every government around the world.
We encourage you to read it and join us in calling for change.

Six days later, what started as a ‘WTF is going on?’ moment for @npub12vd…57e8, @npub189s…3rm4, and me has become something else entirely.
The latest from Business Insider, which reports that OpenAI and Anthropic are ignoring publishers’ robots.txt files too.

I've been using Delta for a long time and the easiest way I've found to load your Game Boy cartridges onto your iPhone is with a handy little Mac accessory called the GB Operator.
I wrote about how it works on [@macstories](https://mastodon.macstories.net/@macstories)…
