Just read a Vice article about Dead Internet Theory and AI slop that I'm fairly sure was written by an LLM. lol.

If I ever die and my family wants to use an AI avatar to speak on my behalf, please kill me.

On Substack, @pluralistic I have described a subtle example of Apple giving itself an unfair competitive advantage over its developers: https://luccogzest.substack.com/p/apples-macos-apps-are-the-weak-link : Apple can create links from Calendar app to specific messages; but it does NOT provide an API for developers (and automators) or UI to do this. This limits tools like Hookmark which enable users to link most of the information on their Macs (emails, files, tasks, etc.) per https://hookproductivity.com. I can explain in more detail if you like.

Gaslighting as a Service.

so you can exploit bluetooth to hijack call control on headphones and use that to take over a whatsapp account

from there you hijack amazon, which offers whatsapp as an auth channel

great demo of why all this big tech platforms using one another as auth channels was a terrible idea

I saw my aunt this weekend. I always admired her growing up: she was a dedicated dancer, bird watcher, traveler, and general arts-enjoyer. I took up ballet and piano because I wanted to be just like her.

I just found out that she started all of those hobbies after she got sober in her 40s, shortly before I was born. Her defining characteristics, in my eyes, have occupied less than half of her life.

It was a nice reminder that you can start a new chapter of your life whenever you’d like.

Does anyone else find it ironic that we use the federated analogy, implying that there is a federal power that binds us together?

I mean, don't get me wrong. I think it's better than social web. Just thinking out loud.

Today in "Google broke email"

I have just learned that, beginning in 3 days, my employees will no longer be able to receive their work email.

Apparently Google is dropping support for Gmail accounts being able to fetch mail from outside accounts. At all. And they announced this change less than 60 days ago. (The announcement was in the basement, stairs, leopard, etc.)

What I want to accomplish is simple: ...

@QasimRashid An interesting question here, that we will never get to know the answer to, is why did the plaintiffs accept such a low settlement? Was it because they thought they would lose, was it pure short-term venality, or was there some other threat or bribe?

Since the plaintiffs were "the Facebook shareholders" I assume this was always a "whoever wins, the rest of us lose" situation, but still.

We're coming close to the tail-end of the photo retrospective. This set is from when I first moved to Bristol in 2000. Shot on the cheapest used manual SLR and 50mm lens I could find. #photos #film #blackandwhite

We often say you can find anything on the internet nowadays, but that's not always the case.

I wondered how the "construction" of the new White House ballroom was progressing, but I can't really find up-to-date photos.

I read there's a schedule to start construction in April 2026. So is it just a pile of rubble?

Anyone know of someone in DC who regularly posts photo updates of progress?

Who gives a shit if Hank's napkin math suggests that corn consumes more water. What does water consumption in Iowa have to do with data centers in Mexico?

These companies want to spend a trillion on data center development and they're hiding their consumption data. Thats it. That's the story.

The way people are sharing the Hank Green water consumption video exposes a shitty reality of our discourse—some people aren't engaging as an act of solidarity with the communities fighting AI data centers, but to “win” the discourse, regardless of the point they think they're making.
