Apparently my husband and I are so obviously gay a South Korean taxi driver felt the need to put on praise & worship music when we got in.

Jesus said be a light unto the world and I’m flaming, honey.

Also, TIL Hillsong in Korean is A Thing.

Zomg. This is the longest taxi ride to a Buddhist temple ever. Shamala hamala. 🙏

Jeremiah, to ADHD
@Jeremiah@alpaca.gold avatar

The hostility of governments towards tourists with ADHD who just want to take their medication is a true test of the effectiveness of that medication.

Within the EU, I must fill out a form with my pharmacist for them to file for each trip beyond Sverige’s border.

For my trip to Korea, I must download 2 Word docs from a website in Korean, submit a copy of my passport, flight information, notarized English translation of my Swedish prescription, and email it all 10 days before travel.

South Korea knew I would be too powerful if I had an attention span.

BankID. Debattartikel om detta står att läsa i Dagens nyheter. https://www.dn.se/debatt/sluta-utnyttja-bank-id-som-huvudnyckel-till-alla-las/ @dfri

@hehemrin @dfri Claes’s argument that fraud would be reduced by using BankID less is not convincing. The alternative to BankID would be a password in most cases. Most people still reuse passwords, don’t use password managers, and don't use MFA on their email account that can be used for password resets. Passkeys might save humanity from that if Apple and Google stop inhibiting them, but the same authentication fatigue attributed as a BankID weakness applies equally to Passkeys. 🤔

Everyone in Trump’s orbit is nothing but classy.

Secret Service notified as Trump aide brags about 'causing innocent people to be arrested' https://www.rawstory.com/trump-mcentee-secret-service/

@DemocracyMattersALot I misread this as Trump’s “obit” and got wound up for a moment. 😔

They’re ok. Bambie Thug said, “Love will always triumph hate,” at the end of their performance.

Hey @MDN, with Stack Overflow’s ongoing community implosion, now would be an excellent time to launch MDN Answers so people have a better place to help each other learn.

https://answer.apache.org/

Edit: Or @nodebb / other ActivityPub-enabled forum/threaded discussion community server software

@thisismissem I agree federation would be ideal. I mistakenly thought Apache Answer already supported ActivityPub. If it does, I cannot find any reference to it anymore. I have posted a feature request: https://meta.answer.dev/questions/D1kO2/activitypub-support

@julian @MDN I agree that MDN’s embrace of ChatGPT is unfortunate, mostly because that model is not great at factual answers.

My objection to Stack Overflow+OpenAI is that it’s proprietary and power consuming.

In general, I think LLMs and other ML models can be helpful to people learning. If MDN had a Q&A site and used people’s contributions to train an open source model people could run locally, I think would be great.

@thisismissem Oops. My post is “awaiting review” probably because I just signed up.

May Stack Overflow’s meltdown birth a thousand community servers owned and operated by the people actually creating the value.

@jraedisch The next one that uses it. 😄

I don’t have one yet. I hope more projects use it so that I can have a better answer in a year.

~“the ad says something about balance of power. Apple is a great tech company, but a legendary marketer. Its ads, keynotes, stores offer a vision of its products as tools that give consumers power. The commercial is a display of force that reminds us about this sleight of hand. We are not the powerful entity in this relationship. The creative potential we feel when we pick up their devices is actually on loan. At the end of the day, it belongs to Apple, the destroyer.”

Hey

Remember the SarcMark? Website’s still up. 😄

Anyone ever seen it implemented somewhere?

@chartier I feel this would be seriously considered by the Unicode Consortium if it were not trademarked.

Fun time to buy a Tesla, a car which is entirely dependent for long distance travel on Tesla's charging network, which was maintained by a five hundred person team Musk just fired in its entirety https://www.fastcompany.com/91116692/tesla-lay-offs-supercharger-team-evs-network-automakers-gm-ford

@aphyr I just sold all my $TSLA stock because of this decision. With the recent departures of brilliant people, I no longer have much long term optimism for Tesla’s dominance.

Tumblr is removing tipping, citing low usage and a need to prioritize other feature development higher.

https://changes.tumblr.com/post/749295377342251008/tipping-is-going-away-on-june-1-2024

Jeremiah,
@Jeremiah@alpaca.gold avatar

I tried Tumblr’s tipping feature to document the experience before it gets removed.

• Low usage: took ~20 minutes to find a creator with it enabled
• On iOS, payment did not use Apple Pay. I had to type my name, postal code, credit card number, expiration, verification code.
• When trying to send a second tip, it remembered my name, currency, postal code, but not my credit card details.
• Prices in USD even tho I set SEK as currency
• Smallest tip option $1.99

Jeremiah,
@Jeremiah@alpaca.gold avatar

@thisismissem Agreed. I think this is more a failure in execution than concept.

I just tested it for the first time. It was a terrible UX.

Searching the comments suggests many Tumblr users never knew the feature even existed.

I assume Tumblr’s use of Stripe prevented many categories of Tumblr creators from being able to benefit from the tipping feature.
