This is why I hate Safari/iOS.
It's the exact same page, with the exact same code, on both sides. But on the left (Safari on MacOS), the arrow shows *above* the item as it should, and on the right (Safari on iOS), the arrow is inexplicably *behind* the circle.
Note there's no z-index involved anywhere here. This is all just default browser stacking order.
One browser shouldn't have two separate implementations of stacking order.

Today in History, 1877:
sealing "The Corrupt Bargain of 1876" which settled a contested election, Pres. R. B. Hayes withdraws Federal Troops from defending the last Southern State House (in LA), thereby effectively destroying Reconstruction.

There was no drone delivery future. There was never going to be a drone delivery future.
Just like there was never going to be self-driving Uber taxis. Or Amazon Go supermarkets on every corner. Or hyperloops. Or earth-to-earth space travel on SpaceX rockets. Or level-five full self driving Teslas.
Just like there will not be a general artificial intelligence ChatGPT in the next couple of years.
They were all scams designed to lure dollars from investors and generate good PR.
It was all bullshit. It was always bullshit.
Nothing more.

n addition to academia, civil society, and industry, former NSA chiefs keep stating that strong end-to-end encryption protection is essential for a secure digital society.

Americans don't make a 180 on Palestinian support en mass without Black and brown activists putting in the work and organizing on TikTok.
We don't have the same powerful conversations about Black liberation without Black activists educating us for free on TikTok.
To attack them now because they're not on your little decentralized platform the way you think they should be is fucking wild.
Have we considered maybe this place isn't as inviting to POC as we think it is?
I'm out for a while.

Reddit signed a deal with Google to use its data to train LLMs. To celebrate, we made a firefox extension that lets you replace all your comments with any text of your choosing. All we ask is that you not choose something copyrighted. The New York Times is currently suing OpenAI for training ChatGPT on its copyrighted material, and we wouldn't want Reddit's uniquely valuable data to become hopelessly intermingled with that of litigious copyright-holders.

The launch of #Threads was truly Zuck's dirt bag magnum opus.
He duct taped it to his most popular platform. Then, he showed us pictures of our IG friends and said they were all waiting for us to join. And when we got there and saw it was just Starbucks and a bunch of transphobes posting, he told us we couldn't delete his shittier Twitter without also deleting the app we actually cared about.
Not to mention putting us through countless videos of Mosseri's necklace.
10/10 no notes.

Speaking of video game adaptations; I really loved the new #Fallout series. They nailed the feel of the game, but also delivered some fantastic storytelling. It even made me want to play the first two Fallouts just to get a little more understanding of the show.
