I read this and my immediate thought was: I didn’t think people in developed countries died of AIDS anymore. Then I remembered that she died in the US.

"The Ring" & "Lilo & Stitch" star Daveigh Chase passed away due to AIDS - LGBTQ Nation

While HIV is a manageable condition with treatment, around 4,000 people died of AIDS-related complications in 2024.

Crossing my fingers that Apple carries on with their retaliatory stance of not enabling new feature for EU, because I do not want their new features. I *espescially* do not want any of my devices to passively record and trascribe audio around me. What the hell.

What's not clear to me is whether Recap will be on by default, in which case a more complex script may be needed. I'm not sure why there are people talking about news from the Apple event other than Apple Watches now being roving surveillance devices. Especially with the camera Airpods coming soon.

AirPods With Cameras Held Until 2027 Despite Apple’s Video Confirmation

After a quick moment of excitement that new AirPods were imminent, a new report means we need to practice patience a little longer.

I didn't watch the Apple ad event. Can someone please clarify: It is the year 2027, where everything Apple has announced today has shipped. I encounter someone who is wearing an Apple Watch or EarPods. Under what circumstances is a transcript of everything I say in their presence being logged?

So are we ever going to get new iPhones minis…? I know the answer but a girl can dream 🙇🏻‍♀️

The US is targeting the anarchist collective that hosts the popular Noblogs wordpress platform as terrorists. This is truly batshit (as are their various obvious lies about Rose City Antifa etc). This is a HUGE attack on basic free speech. www.state.gov/releases/off...

1996: can't use the internet without your phone 2010: the internet stretches before you like the vast expanse of a new frontier. You dance through it, unhindered. Unburdened. You have never heard of 2-factor authentication. 2026: can't use the internet without your phone

Feminist theory remains undefeated in explaining the weirdest parts of the Trump administration. I'm just going to keep posting this skeleton-key-to-MAGA passage, written over 40 years ago, until everyone gets it.

What in the name of all that is holy is going on here?

I think one of the unfortunate consequences of widespread use of LLMs is that the public internet is eventually going to be permanently diminished since LLMs strongly discourage public sharing of information (whether that's due to hosting costs or LLMs plagiarizing public work)

Omarchy, beyond the odious associations, seems to be a typical failure case of vibing your security setup. You need to spend a lot of time thinking about this problem in a rigorous, disciplined fashion. You can't yolo this stuff

Album covers are such cool pieces of art

A few months ago I started wondering if not using LLMs for coding right now would be a detriment to me as a programmer, but I concluded that the idea is nonsensical. I could start Not Writing My Own Code at any moment, and having stopped programming 2 years ago wouldn’t make me a better programmer.

people who post "using Disney+ is unacceptable cultural support for Israel" or "giving Amazon money is immoral capitulation to the forces of capital" on a website owned and operated as a system of neonazi propaganda amplification by Elon Musk are so funny to me

“DHH Nazism Funded by 1Password VP Who Wrote “Honest Security” | flyingpenguin” www.flyingpenguin.com/dhh-nazism-f... It's certainly starting to look like much of tech is run or financed by Nazis and Nazi sympathisers. As in, out and out "will to power" fascists

fascinated by how many people think it's totally cool to use LLMs to entirely produce content for a person to read (books, articles, pull requests, etc) as if it isn't a complete breakdown of the social contract. why should I put effort in to reading something you couldn't even write?

2015: last attempt. 2022: last ideation. 2026: still alive. September is #suicidepreventionmonth. Stay with us, beloved. I promise you it gets better. It's not death you want. It's for the pain to stop. Live, and fight your sorrow. Stay. The sun will rise.

this thread is dystopian as all hell and (1) helps me make sense of why there's so much pushback from reasonable people against LLM usage in software eng (2) I feel like we've made a little oasis with reasonable, careful usage of these tools (and wondering how much I/we are setting an example here)

slop is something that takes more human effort to consume than it took to produce. When my coworker sends me raw Gemini output he’s not expressing his freedom to create, he’s disrespecting the value of my time

probably orthogonal to your view of slop but: bsky.app/profile/aven...

1pw's strategy of just shutting up and hoping it was all a bad dream seems unlikely to pay off tbh

For about a decade whenever I discovered a black metal band I always had to due my "are these fascists" due diligence (as I'm sure punk fans have had to do in the past). It's pretty sad that it seems that these days you have to do the same thing with tech.

That feeling when people, appalled that a software co is funding a right-wing extremist, run headlong toward a software co that just just coming off its own “funding right-wing extremists” scandal https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1u052qp/proton_is_funding_the_french_far_right_on_youtube/
