rip tim apple,

Not regretting my decision to leave Chrome.

I'd rather have a stain than cancer

you guys kinda look alike

Just found this absolutely crazy chart comparing the historical ICE budgets against the gargantuan handout Trump+congressional Rs handed them last year (paid for, by the way, by making your healthcare more expensive)

Word last week was adding multiple errors into my document that hadn't been there, then telling me that I wasn't seeing what I was seeing.

Navigating outlook makes me feel like what it must be like the proverbial tech grandpa. Where did that go? I was just looking at it? Why does this button do that?

It's wild how bad every single microsoft product is, and how the more you use them, the worse they get. I was mid-word on a time-sensitive project and the computer just restarted itself to update (very slowly).

Let's cancel the apocalypse for good by getting these guys out of there

Taco Tuesday should not be this fucking stressful.

White House seeks 10% cut to non-defense discretionary spending | Federal News Network President Donald Trump’s fiscal 2027 budget request to Congress would reduce discretionary spending for all but five agencies.

NASA just put people on the moon for the first time in my life (sick as heck), but the president wants to cut their budget by about a quarter. He also wants to do a thanos snap to the EPA. These are bad ideas.

Every near miss I've had on getting run over has been while legally crossing in a marked crosswalk w/ the light. Half the time, driver was looking left preparing for a right on red. The reason they've been *near* misses is that I saw the car. More onus needs to be on drivers to not drive like that

This is bad

Demons? Cool!

Sort of, but it's more like the (3)DS Shin Megami Tensei / Devil Survivor games. It's a great time. Fun, doesn't take itself too seriously, looks and sounds phenomenal.

Good game

Great news

Yeah, Rich and Oliver still seem at best a bit naive (I think they're too easily buying the line from NVDIA). Alex at least seemed to better get the problem (and how rich corporate owners are likely to react).

please don't put this idea out into the world, crazier things have happened

Just two minutes into one 76-minute audio call observed by Fowler, the person trying to get help from the company asks to speak to a human. The AI voice bot responds: “I am fully equipped to address your needs efficiently and can resolve your issue right away. Whereas connecting with a live agent may involve a short wait.” Just a few minutes later, the bot struggles to complete the task it is asked about. “I am facing some errors while assisting you with your plan. Can I transfer your call to our live agent who will help with your request?” In one text transcript, which begins near 11 am and ends at 1:30 pm, a person speaking with the Samantha “AI virtual voice” grows increasingly frustrated with the replies. “Where's my technician?” they repeat 28 times in a row. After getting some more responses they were unhappy with, the transcript shows, the person repeats: “You’re a computer. You’re a computer. You’re a computer.”

NEW: US retailer Sears left a database of people's interactions with its AI chatbot exposed to the internet—including 3.7 million chat logs and audio files of chats.

Terrible for privacy, but also people were quick to get pissed off with the bots

Not good

that's a well-composed statement

would love to see @oliemack.bsky.social review the macos version...

Live Nation Can ‘Gouge’ Fans on Fees, Ticketing Executives Boast Two Live Nation Entertainment Inc. executives bragged about the high fees the company charges fans at its venues, joking in internal messages that the company is “robbing them blind” and that “these p...

Internal messages from Live Nation reveal two execs talking about "robbing [fans] blind."

“These people are so stupid. I almost feel bad taking advantage of them," one says.

That man is now the head of ticketing for the unit responsible for Live Nation's 150 amphitheaters.

"well-articulated" mission that has, purely coincidentally, never been articulated at all

(unless you count Hegseth's villain monologues I guess)

Absolutely horrifying.

This is exactly right.

Age verification / online ID check legislation literally forces companies to collect MORE data on children (and everyone else) not less.

We desperately need privacy, antitrust, and algorithmic justice legislation.

Not censorship bills like KOSA and expanded surveillance.
