“‘I would absolutely not fly a Max airplane,’ said Ed Pierson, a former Boeing senior manager. ‘I’ve worked in the factory where they were built, and I saw the pressure employees were under to rush the planes out the door. I tried to get them to shut down before the first crash.’
‘I would tell my family to avoid the Max. I would tell everyone, really,’ said Joe Jacobsen, a former engineer at Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration.”

Today marks the end of Scavengers Reign on Max.
(no, we don't know if there will be another season, but I have no confidence in Warner. And maybe it's just not necessary.)
anyone else enjoying 'Scavengers Reign' as much as i am? it feels like i've been waiting years for a show like this—like a fully animated weird/horror sci-fi in pure Moebius animation. it's beautiful so far!
The first three episodes of the long-awaited Scavengers Reign animated show are now available on Max. Reviews are good.
Don't complain that there's no original sci-fi if you don't watch this original sci-fi story whose art direction seems halfway between Moebius and Ghibli. 😊
Today, I had the wonderful pleasure of having #millerpuckette the original developer of the #max software come and speak to my #creativecoding students! I know nothing about max, #maxmsp , or #puredata / #pd (my avenue into code had nothing to do with music) but I followed along and made this little #patch. He was incredibly generous with his time and expertise and he rolled into the room rocking a laptop running Linux which impressed more than a few students. Seriously such an inspiring visit!
If you want some interesting information on the #Corpsicle (if you know, you know; I won't say anything else about it 🤐) here are two informative articles ⬇️
**HBO Max trying to market defeaturing as "New Features." What the absolute fuck. **#max#hbomax
Aligns directly with @pluralistic comments on enshitification of the internet.
I really wish the dev team over at Discovery would stop breaking things in the #Max app on #Roku.
Now, in order to use captions, you have to go back to the Roku home, turn captions off on your Roku, then go back into the Max app and turn captions on in the app when you start the episode.
You have to repeat that whole process for each individual episode you want to watch. If you start an episode with captions already turned on, they won't work. #a11y
In 12/2022, #Boeing succeeded in lobbying against safety measures for #Boeing73MAX 7 certified in 2023 with Congress sticking the airframe manufacturer’s language into the must-pass year-end budget bill
They weren't moving fast enough to implement safety measures and the FAA was too slow so they asked (em donors paid) Congress to pass an exemption
Not sure the status now, but bad look for them, esp for #Max. #Max7#737max
