Looking to Buy a Window Air Conditioner? Read This First

As is the case for many people, my home cannot be retrofitted with central air. My 100-plus-year-old Brooklyn apartment, which features prominently in my seven years of air quality reporting for WIRED, relies on window air conditioning units to keep cool on our warming planet.

Alexis Ohanian’s Next Social Platform Has One Rule: Don’t Act Like an Asshole

What you're basically telling everyone is: You can go over there and talk about Jigglypuff, and go over here and spew your racist, hateful crap. And it normalizes the latter. There are plenty of places on the internet to go find that stuff. Just not at our Javits Center, so to speak. The other thing that real life does really nicely, if we keep pushing this analogy, is if you show up in the Pokémon Con and you start spewing really crazy stuff, you get a response from the people around you.

Blacksky grew to millions of users without spending a dollar

If you haven’t been watching closely, you could be forgiven for assuming that Bluesky is a just liberal Twitter clone, or a newfangled imitator of Mastodon. But under the surface, something fascinating has been happening: this is the first time ever that a public benefit corporation with a small team has quickly scaled an open source social network, built on top of decentralized infrastructure, to tens of millions of users.

Airlines Sued for Selling ‘Window’ Seats Without a Window View

Have you ever paid for a window seat on an airplane that didn’t actually have a window? You could be part of a class action lawsuit in the near future. Delta and United Airlines have been sued this week in federal court for misrepresenting their seat offerings online.

Lessons learned from buying an open source repo

Our tiny startup recently acquired the most popular open-source Unity MCP repo on GitHub, and things didn’t quite go as planned. Here are the lessons we learned for anyone considering buying an open source repo. Why we bought the repo First, we like open source and want Unity MCP to stay relevant and open source indefinitely. Second, there’s distribution: being the name behind the project. If you don’t want to set up MCP yourself, you can one-click install Coplay for a premium experience. Wh
