Mastodon FeedEver notice how Tesla's logo looks like an IUD? What a bad association. One is the best way to ensure you never procreate, and the other is an IUD.
Mastodon FeedDo you ever wonder if we’re entering a golden age of blogging? And if so, that maybe it’s due in no small part to the rise of generative AI? I do. A lot.
Similar to how MP3s brought back vinyl, AI prose exemplifies what the digital written word was missing— warmth.

Mastodon Feed‘Fake’ Amazon workers defend company on Twitter (2021):
"Amazon has previously used this handle for its so-called Amazon Ambassadors - real employees who are paid by the firm to promote and defend it on Twitter."
Wondering why Meta’s PR/comms would coordinate a swarm of employee-led anti-Apple posts on Threads? Me too. Anyone have Bezos' phone number? https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-56581266

Niklaus Wirth, the inventor of the Pascal programming language, author of "Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs", and more, passed away on January 1.
Wirth's law, named after him, is an adage which states that software gets slower more rapidly than hardware gets faster.

Welcome to 2024
"At least five state Capitol Buildings were placed under lockdown and evacuated on Wednesday (January 2) after receiving bomb threats.
The threats were made in Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, and Connecticut.
The first threat was made just after 8:30 a.m. ET in Georgia. Gabriel Sterling, the COO for the Georgia Secretary of State, posted on X that there would be a delayed opening at the Capitol due to a bomb threat."

@rick_viscomi OMG, it's so much worse when you factor in INP:
Next is going to get your site rekt; presumably the overall React scores are dragged upward by Wix and Squarespace? Wild.

By the way, I'm saying this partly because I've been using ChatGPT a lot today as I wade through some unfamiliar waters in my job, and it hasn't been correct even one single time. Once it even gave me a completely paradoxical answer that obviously contradicted itself.

@rick_viscomi The nominal point of React was better experiences, which aren't materialising for users.
The nominal point of Next was to fix React. It's not working.
Your best bet is to avoid at all costs.

sadly, I must report that Dr Niklaus Wirth of ETH-Z (the Swiss Institute of Technology in Zurich) has died. their amazingly clear works taught generations of us how to think about computer languages, computing, & programming. RIP to a genius. 💦

Notes:
- The button sequence varies by device model, but most recent iPhones use the one described
- I don’t think it's possible to do a restore in Finder without it erasing the device first, I used iMazing which is more flexible (https://imazing.com not a sponsored post, I just like it)
- You may need to enter your passcode twice after the restore, at which point the device will show an "attempting data recovery" screen for several minutes (make sure you enter the correct passcode!)

If your iPhone has been bricked during the update to iOS 17.3 beta 2:
- Download the iOS 17.3 beta 1 IPSW on your Mac (https://updates.cdn-apple.com/2023WinterSeed/fullrestores/052-20038/3F493ABA-9230-4B7C-9C61-D85B3DC79504/iPhone16,2_17.3_21D5026f_Restore.ipsw)
- Plug iPhone into Mac
- Press volume up, then volume down, then press and hold the side button until the recovery mode screen shows up
- Use iMazing (preferred) or Finder to restore the IPSW (in Finder, hold down Option when clicking the restore button to select the IPSW)
- Your iPhone should be successfully restored without any data loss (see reply!)

I've already said this, but I'll repeat here:The feds need to keep this simple.
If a woman dies because an emergency room doctor declines to perform a necessary procedure the doctor and administrators of the hospital should be charged with felony murder ( 18 U.S.C. 1111).
