Answering all my doctor's questions with "that's a great question"

Without delving into the technical details about Apple's implementation and whether the feature is inherently good or bad, Mr. Pak's reaction (not an outlier) shows it doesn't matter. People do not trust tech companies and they don't like the idea of other people opting them into surveillance.

this is bad and you shouldn’t use this feature

Happy to send dude on a quick trip to Block Town, U.S.A. for making veiled homophobic remarks about the GOP midterm convention in Dallas. You can note that the party is filled with people who lie and harm others while they themselves would be their own target without mocking our LGBTQ+ neighbors.

If the ~1,000 U.S. billionaires each paid a paltry $1 billion on average from their ill-gotten wealth built on the backs of, and hoarded from, the average American, that’s worth $1 trillion.

Dr Oz: "If we can get the average American to feel so healthy, so vital, so with it, that they want to work one extra year, just one extra year -- instead of retiring at 62, they want to go to 63 -- that's worth $1 trillion to our GDP every year"

Furcast v1.0.3 is out. It's a small, focused update that adds support for a large widget called Outlook. It also contains some miscellaneous polish. <whispers>If you like widgets (and iOS/macOS 27 support), version 1.1 is just for you (out in a week or two). furcastweather.com/news/furcast...

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Same. In fairness, 3/4 of the contributors more than make up for the last 1/4.

I was happy to ship this before the iOS/macOS 27 madness in a few weeks. Cool new menu bar feature on Mac and some nice polish on iOS. More to come!

Coyote vs. Acme was a lot of fun.

The rich folks have spent their lives dehumanizing everyone who feeds their financial greed, trying to convince them that normal things are luxuries so they can overcome the scarcity of scale. “Our data centers are failing. What to do, what to do? I know, they should stop drinking water”.

You don’t need to make drinking water a part-time job since too much of it doesn’t have any real health benefit. 🔗: on.wsj.com/4hUsBWd

Haven't watched yet, but as it has a new season let's bring over to Bluesky my cast list for Lord of the Rings using the cast of S1-3 of Ted Lasso. Let's start with an easy one: Aragorn. No fucking second breakfasts for any fucking hobbits or any other fucking muppets with this Aragorn.
