It just struck me what Apple got wrong with its “crushing ad.”

They thought we would identify with the iPad, not the creative instruments and materials.

@glennf @ernie has a great write up on this in Tedium, and agrees with this point. People think a hydraulic press is that thing they see on youtube crushing stuff to death. Apple's ad thinks that a hydraulic press is a tool that's used to combine parts into a greater whole.

Microsoft’s new “Recall” feature will record everything you do on your PC

Recall uses Copilot+ PC features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."

Seriously looking into Linux for my PC because Microsoft and their overzealous approach to AI is making me nervous as heck.

I'm going to settle on Ubuntu as my familiarity with that Linux distro is high enough; I do need to check for any major changes with CLI commands, reworking of OS features, and the like before switching over. I don't want any surprises.

Over the next few days, I will back-up anything I need in the future digitally.

@mekuso @wendigo @WanderingInDigitalWorlds did they avoid Snap? because Snap sucks.

@WanderingInDigitalWorlds @wendigo what I can say is that Snap is why I stopped using Ubuntu and went to Fedora 🤷

oh hell yes. i think i just found the original typeface used: it was LTC Spire by the Lanston Type Company

edit: it led to a fascinating web preservation backstory about the origins of the font itself:

There are many things about git submodules that are more unpleasant than they should be but one of the most frustrating is that you have to decide early whether to add the submodules as git+ssh URLs or https urls. If you pick ssh URLs, your Windows users using GUIs will not be able to check out the submodules. Whereas if you pick https URLs, your Mac and Linux users using the command line will not be able to check out the submodules. Once you have picked one of these choices, you can't change it

@mcc submodules get a bad rep. A heartily deserved bad rep.

It is NOT “balance” to add FASCIST PROPAGANDA to the news, MSNBC. It is complicity.

Wow. Good for you @atrupar, who tweeted:

Nate, #Trump almost murdered #Biden during a #debate last cycle by rolling up on the stage as a biological weapon. Norms and traditions went out the window long ago.

Nate Silver:

You're supposed to be the candidate who stands up for norms and traditions and now you're ducking this tradition?

"The President will not be participating in the Commission of Presidential Debates' announced debates."

@GottaLaff @atrupar nfl what the actual [expletive deleted] happened to Nate Silver. He used to not be an absolute bellend.

Also unsure how much of ‘I want to move to LA’ is ‘I really can’t deal with SF’ and how much of it is ‘I’ve been feeling skittish about SF ever since two bad racist incidents happened to me there (and no amount of well meaning liberal hugs will make that go away)’

@skinnylatte watch out for the OC (Orange County) though, I've heard bad things.

@skinnylatte understandable

@skinnylatte as much as I love the SF bay the weather is better and the rents are more reasonable in LA. Don't blame you for a second.

    Asking Isreal to agree to a ceasefire but then sending them a billion dollars worth of weapons is like telling your dog to stay off the couch but then slathering peanut butter on the cushions.

    alexhammy,
    @alexhammy@hachyderm.io avatar

    @junesim63 @lowqualityfacts what nobody is willing to admit is that Biden has already said he won't sign it and Schumer has said it won't come up for a vote.

    But don't let that stop you.

    @askDNA @evan also the audacity to be like "I posted mundane stuff and it didn't start a shitstorm, but as soon as I post controversial stuff that's threatening to destroy people's livelihoods, everyone is all "hey that's controversial" and people should be nicer to me" is bad faith acting.

    Good job mastodon drubbing out a provocateur.
