Hasan Minhaj deactivated his Twitter account on air during Wednesday night’s “Daily Show.”
Worth watching if only for the moment when he calls Madtodon the “Canada of Twitter” 😆
@evan Every time I'm moving it from the drawer in the kitchen to the counter for cutting stuff or from the dishwasher to the drawer. :)
Joanna Stern recommending LastPass as a solution to the iPhone passcode thief problem seems irresponsible, huh?

BOSS: I need you to put these coupon stickers on all the Pick Me Up boxes
EMPLOYEE: Do you care where we place those stickers?
BOSS: Yeah, *on the box*. Don’t make me repeat myself. Idiots.

@jeffjarvis Didn't Signal already undermine user trust with the closed-source components (that could certainly do the scanning UK is talking about)? https://signal.org/blog/keeping-spam-off-signal/
@danwchan
Haha! Well, if the hardware gets too hot, it throttles the speed, so under heavy load, some winter air keeps things running fast.
@Vivaldi Blocking autoplay videos. Does it block downloading them too? I imagine yes.

@cel Thanks, it was really fun!
@carnage4life How about an article that repeats things that celebrities post on social media?

I've been using LLMs like #ChatGPT before they were hot. Here are two things I do to not make a fool out of myself:
- I have a sticky note saying "this thing hallucinates" within my visual spectrum. This helps me calibrate reliance
- anything it creates is, at best, P-creative, not H-creative. Helps me calm down when I see something exciting. (H-creative is a thought that no one ever thought of. P-creative is localized to the individual)
@lanodan Some interfaces still have it hidden, but some now do the thing where you have to tap the letter, it shows the whole alphabet in a grid, and then you have to tap the letter you want.
@lanodan @BalooUriza Yes, I agree. There used to be some scroll interfaces on phones where you could get a big handlebar to touch and drag so you could go down the whole list with one swipe. *sigh* Apple ruined human computer interaction efficiency, huh?
@BalooUriza OMG, I hate hidden scrollbars! Not everyone uses a touchscreen for everything.
@ManjaroARM @PINE64 Ah! You're right! A full power cycle brought it back. I must have been rebooting. Phew! Thanks! I thought I was going to have to take it apart and re-flash.
@ManjaroARM
@PINE64 It works fine everytime I boot into Armbian. Ah, maybe I was rebooting Manjaro instead of fully shutting down. Will try..
