No more old white men in charge. They just keep fucking things up. We’re way past due for a change.

If people want to understand why American politics went bananas in 2012, the reason is that the moderate black President took a modest but consequential step toward decoupling healthcare from employment and every billionaire immediately poured their entire portfolio into race-hate media

It’s a close call this morning as to which is more enraging to the dogs: squirrels in a nearby tree or workers in the house next door.

It’s now been a week since I turned Apple Intelligence off on all my iOS devices and I gotta say I don’t miss the “functionality” at all.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.
We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

No shit.
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

If you don’t want this (and why would you) just turn Apple Intelligence off in Settings. I did and I don’t miss it.
a) this fucking sucks, wtf Apple?
b) anybody got the link avail, the one about how to remove this?

Not satisfied with just destroying their own brand goodwill, OS companies are now using AI to try to destroy the good names of the apps users install. (Scrivener taking out adds to explain how it has no AI but Apple adds some anyway.)

100%. It’s really bad.
It is genuinely insane how bright and distracting car lights are now
I wish we, like, regulated shit nowadays. Between car bloat, blinding headlines, and neighbourhoods packed with rental suites but no on-property parking, driving is an absolute nightmare now.
