Watching this Apple event tout how iPhones will soon be able to record ambient audio/conversations and transcribe "high level notes" for you. It's billed as private and end-to-end encrypted, but I think the bigger harm is the normalization of always-listening devices. It's creepy and not normal.

It's finally happened: the improved quality of machine transcription and the greater ability to extract value from unlabelled data means "your tech is eavesdropping on you for marketing purposes" has crossed from "false conspiracy theory" to "true and concerning" www.theverge.com/tech/991190/...

While I may have launched this tool at the worst possible time in Destiny 2's history (post-EoF), I've nevertheless updated the Winnower vault tool to support the Monuments of Triumph updates, and the db will update with more data on the new guns as players get their hands on them. winnower.garden

Destiny 2 vault tool Winnower showing 5 Kinetic Rapid-Fire Auto Rifles. Each row lists power level, name, two perk columns, range/stability/handling/reload stats, and an analysis note. Two "Everburning Glitz" rolls are rated as godroll PvP/PvE combos; Chroma Rush and Eidolon Ally are solid keepers, while Rufus's Fury is flagged in red to cut.

Destiny 2 vault tool Winnower showing "Why you don't need this weapon" comparison. A Mos Athanor IV hand cannon's four valuable PvP perk combos (Keep Away + Opening Shot, etc.) are shown on the left, with curved lines linking each to two other Mos Athanor IV rolls on the right that already cover those same perk combinations.

Today is the release of @nataliezed.bsky.social's second novel, Villain. I've watched it develop over the last six and a half years (!) from spitball to hardcover. I've been lucky enough to read the very first draft, its four rewrites, and countless versions, variants, and variations in between.

This photo depicts a massive tomato plant in an aerogarden, much to large for the confines of the device. The vines loop back in on themselves and a bunch of tomatoes dangle heavily, half of them green and half red. The aerogarden sits on a baker's rack, with a pink wall behind.

It was my birthday on Saturday which means I have an excuse to show you all one of my favourite things: the extremely normal and optimal way that @jairuskhan.bsky.social cuts a birthday cake.

a birthday cake covered with white icing sits inside a cardboard box. it is decorated with three hot pink flowers and the words "Happy Birthday Natalie"

A birthday cake with white icing sits in a cardboard box. A rectangular slice has been cut out of the centre and the two halves pressed back together, so the phrase "Happy Birthday Natalie" written in pink icing has become "Hay Birtay Natie." it is decorated with one and a third hot pink roses.

a lot of people have this reflexively dismissive and contemptuous attitude towards this technology to the point of refusing to even learn how it works, which is going to be a real problem as this stuff improves, because you are going to need to understand (a little about) how it works to spot it

So I have to start purging political news from my bluesky feed. I'm sorry, I know there's a lot going on, but this used to be somewhere I came to have fun. I can be miserable anywhere, including twitter. Having nowhere to escape it is harming me. I think it's harming a lot of you too.
