What's surprisingly bad about it for Apple, though, is the UI. It changes from app to app (!), varying from functional but cryptic in TextEdit to basically unusable in BBEdit and Ulysses (where I actually do most of my writing). Bonus: in BBEdit, it silently removes Markdown formatting.

I am surprised and faintly alarmed that Apple Intelligence’s "proofreading" function is…fine? It's really just proofreading, not doing pedantic rewriting, and it's about at the level of a decent but unimaginative copy editor. You could do worse.

I was expecting there to be a few GOP senators who took their oaths seriously enough to sink Trump's most ludicrous nominees--the ones that are both dangerous and also just an embarrassment to the country--and fold on his other vicious, unqualified wingnuts.
But I was wrong.

‘According to NBC News, in 2023 “online sleuths who aided the FBI in cases against hundreds of Jan. 6 rioters identified Marocco and his now-wife as being among the rioters who stormed the Capitol in 2021.” The online group Sedition Hunters — which worked to identify participants in the Capitol riot using open source research and facial recognition technology — alleged in November that Marocco and his wife, Merritt Corrigan, entered the Capitol during the riot […]’

A tiny complaint compared to all the other crap going on, but ... I really hate it when #icon-and-#text #interfaces are replaced by icon-only, and there's no way (or at least no obvious way) to change it back. #Bluesky seems to be the latest site to embrace this very bad idea.

If you know anyone looking for a rather unique bicycle mechanic job in the Atlanta area, one of my favorite places in the world, Sopo Bicycle Co-op, is hiring a part-time shop coordinator! We've been struggling to stay open consistently for a while, and we're hoping having someone there on set nights will let us sell more bikes, and recruit more volunteers!

The cheek of these shysters is impossible to overstate.

exposure of intelligence agency employee identifying information can get ppl killed. this is an historic counterintelligence fiasco.

Note to hachyderm.io users, who can't see this on their server (which I'm mentioning because another one just asked me about it):
the hachyderm admins blocked me personally and i still have no idea why
coincidentally Nivenly, the company running hachyderm, got into an AI grift and I loudly called it an AI grift. This suggests the reasons are simple and commercial.
they have apparently denied that their AI grift was the reason but haven't said what the reason was
and they haven't contacted me at all and certainly nobody is paying me enough to bother to contact these weirdos
it's a mastodon feature: forum admins with poster's madness
so basically find a non-shitty server or spin up an akkoma yourself
feel free to copy and forward this as appropriate
edit: there was apparently a bug raised, and i'm definitely not wasting my time attempting communication with these circumlocuitious scammy sounding weirdos. Perhaps you will wish to. https://github.com/hachyderm/community/issues/579

You know what, I think I'm done censoring myself and not reacting to wrong takes, which was my default position of many years. We can't afford being neutral and quiet anymore.
Current mood: I'm really frustrated with lefties turning everything into a purity test. If we want to counteract the world's descent into fascism, we need to learn not to call each other "enemies" for random transgressions like buying a Tesla car or not being vegan or whatever.

Palantir CEO and sociopath Alex Karp, addressing investors during a board meeting, defending DOGE:
“Palantir is here to disrupt and make the institutions we partner with the very best in the world. And, when it’s necessary, to scare enemies and on occasion kill them. And we hope you’re in favor of that.”
Yeah. “Kill them.”

1/ Here's my take on what's happening with DOGE.
I've got fed experience through contracting with Health & Human Safety, Head Start, The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and DOD. I get brought in when people need to get shit done. Other people here have way more experience than me.
