    Reddit actually shared a time lapse of some of the r/Place art today.

    Even though the canvas is littered with messages cursing CEO Steve Huffman, Reddit still posted a video of its evolution. If Reddit decides to take the video down, I’ve been adding screenshots of the canvas throughout the day to this article.

    Grindr employees are organizing.

    A “supermajority” of the “approximately 100 eligible members” have signed union cards to form Grindr United, according to a press release from the Communication Workers of America. The employees come from multiple departments at Grindr, including engineering, design, IT, marketing, and quality insurance.

    Next, they’ll vote in a union election.

    Kevin Mitnick has died.

    The convicted hacker and author of Ghost in the Wire, which Verge readers recommended as one of the best tech books of all time, died on July 16th of pancreatic cancer. I really recommend taking a few minutes to read his obituary to get a brief glimpse into his life. RIP.

    Samsung is apparently working on a “Galaxy Ring.”

    That’s according to a new report from The Elec. Seems like Samsung is considering its own take on the Oura Ring.

    The report also says Samsung is prepping an “extended reality” headset for next year. Perhaps that will be the first product from Google, Qualcomm, and Samsung’s “declarative announcement” of a partnership on a mixed-reality platform from earlier this year.
