"While young Taiwanese users discuss everything from relationships to celebrity gossip on Threads, the app has gradually become a gathering space for progressives." https://werd.io/view/665611b88daf0a60c802e4f2

@ben I'm glad someone finds Threads useful.

Dear self/autonomous-driving developers, if you think you’ve planned for everything, you haven’t:

I think I charge my phone more often than I used to. I used to let it get all the way to single digits before recharging. Lately, I've been recharging when it's still over 75%.

@JeremyMallin My headphones drive me nuts. No warning at all and then suddenly the alarms are so annoyingly repetitive that I have to stop listening immediately.

@JeremyMallin my mouse doesn’t warn me, it just dies lol

"'I was misidentified as shoplifter by #FacialRecognition tech...'

"...[Sara] says after her bag was searched she was... banned from all stores using the #Technology.

"I was just crying and crying the entire journey home… 'Oh, will my life be the same? I'm going to be looked at as a shoplifter when I've never stolen'.

"#Facewatch later wrote to Sara and acknowledged it had made an error..."

No due process and full fascism.

I loathe current-AI in basically all its forms. It's unethical, absolutely divorced from anything that resembles consent.

But you know what I would want AI for?

Smarter driving instructions. A GPS in my car that learns how I like to drive - no lefts on busy streets for example. That when I ask about things like a coffee shop or takeout food en route gives me the option to specify if it has a drive thru and is it on the right side of the road?

AI that serves me, not replaces me.

@MsHearthWitch For me, the starting point for an improved driving app would be one that recognizes that my stopping for fuel isn't a crisis.

@MsHearthWitch Tech companies definitely need more rules and more naps.

when I was a child, you could watch TV and never be interrupted by your TV crashing.

@hal_canary You clearly never owned a Zenith that had bad connection in it. A good slap on the side every 20 minutes usually solved that issue.

Following a bunch of techies on Mastodon be like:

I am a run-of-the-mill Android-phone-Windows-desktop-Gmail-user but now I'm in the process of transitioning from Gmail and using Duck Duck Go to research how to set up a Linux desktop.

Oh, and also now Signal-curious.

What is this place? Some kind of privacy cult LOL?

@shansterable That had better be a Thinkpad you're typing on!

@shansterable Or other way - privacy cult chose this place because there is no surveillance here. As a paranoid I use it as only social media service :blobfoxmlem:

Exciting times in the world as we roll out our new transmitter design, with much longer battery life and smarter , thanks to the brilliant DOC Electronics Team. Here’s site lead Petrus with 5 year old Ako. 📸 Dani Whitaker

It’s incredible that Ako is still alive. She hatched with an open fontanelle (the skull didn’t completely fuse) which required world-first surgery by the vets at Wildbase in NZ. Read more here: https://www.massey.ac.nz/about/news/k%C4%81k%C4%81p%C5%8D-brain-surgery-a-world-first/

The miracle of “” is that the words generated actually form sequences which humans process as plausible formulations of sentences in language we know.

@paninid less-figurative "miracles" also exploit pareidolia in the same way, viz finding Jesus in your toast

How has no one ever told me about this brilliant website?

@eoinoneill I think there should be a website that is nothing but launcher icons from windows games.

@eoinoneill@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@yora what really blew me away was the intractability of the skins, down to the EQ filters.

Makes me wish someone would make a jellyfin interface that behaves roughly like this lol

"A quarter-century into its existence, a company that once proudly served as an entry point to a web that it nourished with traffic and advertising revenue has begun to abstract that all away into an input for its large language models." https://werd.io/view/66460b700123961ccd0a5482
