  Not to sound like one of the ads or articles but I cube coded an iOS app in like 6 hours, it’s not so complex I don’t understand it, it’s multifeatured, I learned a LOT and got a useful thing instead of doing a tutorial with sample project. I don’t regret having that tool. I do regret the lack of any control and oversight and public ownership of this technology but that’s the timeline we’re on, let’s not pretend it’s gay space communism (sigh) but, since AI is probably driving my medical care decisions at the insurance company level, might as well get something to play with.

  Twice this year, it’s a him but yes. They make borderline in boys too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  America doesn’t do free market capitalism it does late stage capitalism, where profits do in fact need to be record high every quarter, even if that means people are gonna die (like 10m people becoming uninsured, plus us borrowing a bunch of money from China, so we can give more to the billionaires that own us and don’t need it).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does people doing things that upset others also upset you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Last year on the 4th, I was walking home from the big fireworks show, and I saw a teenager on a scooter, who was briefly crouching down and not being safe. But he came up beside a lady and surprised her, and she swatted at him and tried to push him over, which would have crashed him into several people walking. More than just a startle response, and the kid stopped, looked back, angry - but he was a black teenager and there’s this white lady and her beefy white boyfriend/husband staring him back, so he turns and disappears back into the crowd.

  And I’m instantly furious.

  “That’s assault,” I told her.

  “Mind your own fucking business” she says. Several other people are watching.

  Thankfully my husband and her husband pulled us in different directions and the crowd separated us.

  But I was so fucking angry, and that lady looked like she had started a fight or three in her life. Her boyfriend looked like he wasn’t happy to be there in that moment.

  So yes, but it has to be something serious.

  There are only a few outcomes that would lead down that road, and while I hope for one of them, I am pretty convinced they’ll all die happy and rich in their warm beds of old age after getting lots of plastic surgery and riding on lots of jets and jetskis

  Dried or fresh cherries will also produce the effect in sufficient quantity. Which is how I learned not to eat a bag in a sitting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You're not alone: This email from Google's Gemini team is concerning⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Few years ago I got a Nest Secure to go with my other Google Nest gear. One day Google emailed me to tell me Assistant was now enabled on my security system. Oh, by the way, it has an undocumented microphone!

  That’s when I realized what a privacy nightmare Google really is. I know Apple isn’t great but come on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“It changes everything:” Plunging costs of PV and batteries mean 24-hour solar a growing reality⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m halfway across the country from you but our corrupt fucking government made buy-back for solar generated electricity super cheap to make solar ownership less affordable, and more profitable for the utility.

  That was actually their lawyer’s argument, that “incognito mode” being private was just something people assumed and ran with, not their fault.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI supremo Sam Altman says he 'doesn't know how' he would have taken care of his baby without the help of ChatGPT⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Parenting books were serious business, whole generations were raised with Dr Spock for instance, who had fucked up ideas about childrearing.

  It’s one thing to ask for tips on getting a baby to sleep, it’s another to ask it for formula recipes. Unfortunately I doubt most parents know the line where it becomes dangerous, but I am hoping here.

  Nationalization is the opposite of privatization, it’s how the US’s bureaucratic state was really built, we should absolutely do this and right now is the time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Japan introduced brake lights that increase intensity based on how hard the driver was braking. 20+ years ago. They tested it in the US and drivers found it to be “confusing.”

  It’s been the punchline of a dark joke for years.

  You gotta get those little hands building the little toys.

  We make the dark joke because we know it’s true, but we can collectively point at a tech company and say it’s their fault, and still enjoy the fruits of their labor at prices we can afford.

  Globalism - hyperglobal capitalism - is all about externalizing the negativities and internalizing the positives.

  Yeah i grew up in the 90s. The skinny jean crazy didn’t land with me. I wore baggy carpenters until they died, then the widest bootcut I could find.

  Mushrooms are the great undertaker, the great decomposer. The Langoliers. They are just waiting to eat you, and they’re happy to share their fruits in the meantime. They’re fattening you up. They can wait.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A 19-year old cis lesbian woman was beaten unconscious and robbed after she tried to use the women's restroom at a McDonald's in Carpentersville, Illinois⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The state will fail to accomplish anything meaningful in prosecution - a bad deal or bungled case. Plus there’s the notoriety the case is already generating. She’ll need to file a civil suit as well, and she’ll need someone making sure everything is OK on her end (the attacker doesn’t counter-sue for instance).

  I’ve been the victim of hate crime, you think you’re gonna get a justice boner and fight it to the core, but in reality the simplest/safest answer for the victim is to shut up and make it disappear. You’re already traumatized, fighting is confusing and painful.
