Wait, people don't know this? Yeah. It doesn't auto-save unless you save to cloud. I hate this timeline. Share to save someone many tears from lost work.
Heather Burns@heatherburnstech.bsky.social · yesterdayThe most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.
I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
If you didn't get to see #Shine when it aired, it's now on Netflix, so hopefully it'll reach a wider audience. It's beautiful and heartbreaking, but also has a lot of hope and love. Some scenes that are hard to watch and one in particular that wrecked me. www.netflix.com/us/title/829...

"For our own survival, we’ve learnt to normalise feeling unwell. We measure our symptoms not against the healthy body, but against its worst potential...and we tell ourselves that this is ok, really. We can live with this." When being content with merely surviving is its own survival mechanism.

to be clear the issue with AI writing is not only that it’s bad, it’s specifically that it isn’t made by humans, therefore it has no value. nobody is watching two AIs play chess against each other even though computers are better than humans at chess. IT’S BECAUSE WE DON’T CARE.

For your convenience, the Pride and Prejudice live-posting super-thread 📚
Trung Le Nguyen@trungles.com · 2mo agoSo I’ve started Pride and Prejudice, and already I feel bad for Mrs Bennet.
#TheProsecutorsProposal enters the Top 10 of South Korea’s TV & OTT Drama Buzz Worthiness ranking. I've read that's the first time since #blseries #SemanticError that a BL series has broken into the ranking and competed alongside mainstream K-dramas.
- final thoughts: it's july but i'm already calling it - this is THE best KBL of 2026, at least for me. it's an ambitious crime drama really well made on a shoestring budget, anchored by a complex & volatile relationship portrayed with breathtaking nuance AND scorching heat #TheProsecutorsProposal
- but the core 'ship at the heart of the BL works oh so well. it's toxic, starting with a kiss clearly coded as a punch, and developing through intimacy borne of anger and misery and self-loathing and guilt. that (and fantastic direction) makes the hate-sex scenes PERFECT. #TheProsecutorsProposal
OKAY. some #TheProsecutorsProposal thoughts! - korea needs to start spending decent $$ on BLs. come on now, this show needed to be at least 8 full-hour episodes. - even so, bc #YangKyungHee knows how to direct neo-noir, camera work & framing & scene dynamics absolutely SING. she makes good drama!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Tian Xiwei look this hot before. She needs to step on people.

I don’t recall hearing anything about this drama before. #HisMajestyHerLove But it stars Wu Jinyan and Chen Zheyuan, so it’s got to be worth a watch, right? Coming soon. I wonder where it’ll be airing. 🤔

Just started watching a new BL - #ServantPrince - and within 3 mins one character has made the other character lick his feet clean, and within 9 mins we find out that, as adults, the foot licker has now become a sex slave. 🤯🤯 The world may be going to hell, but at least BL is going there faster!

Why is my Gaga app not giving me any subtitles? I’ve tried toggling them on and off, rebooting the app, going into different shows, etc multiple times and nothing works. No subs on anything for me today. Not fair! I wanted my BL time and it’s being withheld from me. 😭😭
Funny Graceland sendup but what makes this A+ is its spoof of broader trends: 80s boomer-pop's Scramble for Africa (Simon, Byrne et al) AND the Magical Negro theme that ran thru such period pieces as U2's Rattle & Hum, Billy Joel's "River of Dreams," &—of course, supremely—TOTO I bless the rains...
Even if you train an LLM just on fully validated, peer reviewed texts the LLM _will_ still generate fabrications. LLMs are _language_ models, not _knowledge models_.

Violet Smith@violetsmith.bsky.social · last mo.Right, settle in kids. Today we're watching episode one of brand new Thai omegaverse series, KNOT. It promises to be truly wild, I hope you're ready.
Anyone who’s ever read and liked Pride and Prejudice, drop what you’re doing right now and read the thread I just reposted. It is *chef’s kiss* 👌 everything you’ve ever wanted in a book read-along thread 🧵. Enjoy enjoy enjoy!!
So I’ve started Pride and Prejudice, and already I feel bad for Mrs Bennet.
I’m so embarrassed that I started this book like, “UGH a canon text, let’s see what’s the fuss,” and now I’m quietly weeping with joy to myself and filled with goodwill and optimism toward humanity and its capacity to love. How dare you, Jane Austen!!!

Jack Tindale@jacktindale.bsky.social · 4w agoI have checked what the Japanese media are saying and there seem to be competing names for the man. Some are going with ゴミ箱伯爵 (Gomibako Hakushaku - Count Trashcan) whilst others are using the katakana that you have for foreign loan-words and opting for ビンフェイス伯爵 (Binfeisu Hakushaku).
