i couldn’t even get through this whole thing. gave up after this part where it appears he admits to extorting NVIDIA by telling them they can’t sell a product unless he gives a cut of the sales to the government. just actually mafia behavior.

Tech enthusiasts: My entire house is smart.

Tech workers: The only piece of technology in my house is a printer and I keep a gun next to it so I can shoot it if it makes a noise I don't recognize.

You can see the window title change well before the content updates. There’s a noticeable lag when clicking things. If I had a React behaving this way I would fix it. But this is a “native” app that comes built-in on the Mac. This is horrible and reflects poorly on the state of Apple’s software.

This is a comment on Josh Allen in Yahoo’s fantasy app. Two replies to this were removed for violating community guidelines but apparently “yuck, a jew” is OK?

literally cannot escape these awful betting companies, but of course they’d invade fantasy sports i guess.

if you tap the “view in calendar” button on an iphone preorder in the apple store app you get this sheet that has two separate delete buttons, one of which cannot scroll all the way into view (i had to hold it in place to screenshot), and a header that also cannot scroll all the way into view.

Threads decided to show me some iJustine posts. I’ve never kept up with her but for whatever reason they decided I wanted to see her opinion on the Clancy case and it turns out she just sucks. She’s fully on board the “actually the husband did it” conspiracy train. Barf.

tbh anybody with these positions is a person i wouldn’t be interested in working for anyway. being pro-ai seems to turn people into elitest douches.
pro-ai coding people saying they would never hire or work with someone who doesn’t use ai to code

AI fans trying to convince us this is the future. “Yeah, they might behave like malware, but imagine not having to do your own work anymore! Just run ‘em in Docker, it’ll be fine!”
Agents still make mistakes, like running Im - If in the wrong directory. I almost never run them on my bare hosts unless the task requires it.

This is just election denialism. You’re an election denier, no better than Trump himself.

this is the sort of thing you say when you’re not a serious person and you want to intimidate a juror, which (unlike holding to your beliefs on a jury) is actually illegal.

Angry that the code is a whopping half a megabyte. Also angry that the code is minified to make it take up as little space as possible. The duality of man.
Some sites still use JavaScript that way, but many use it for major programs that do large jobs. For instance, Google Docs tries to install into your browser a JavaScript program which measures half a megabyte, in a compacted form that we could call Obfuscript. This compacted form is made from the source code, by deleting the extra spaces that make the code readable and the explanatory remarks that make it comprehensible, and replacing each meaningful name in the code with an arbitrary short name so we can't tell what it is supposed to mean.

literally nothing appealing in this entire screen, including the chatgpt app sneaking in at the bottom. what even is the app store anymore?
front page of the app store showing a featured story about an anime game, an ad below that for truth social, and an “essentials” section cut off at the bottom of the screen behind the tab bar where the first featured app is chatgpt.

The majority of these are just about keeping non-whites out of America. These aren’t wins for the American people. A fee for visas? The largest visa revocation in history? Pausing visa applications?
facebook post from the white house bragging about 10 so-called wins trump has delivered that people might have missed. most of them are just about getting rid of immigrants.

turning a big dial taht says "Racism" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right

I thought this post couldn’t get any dumber but then I looked at the comments and people were saying “no, only white Americans should be treated this way.” Also, people were using some made-up incorrect demonym for Americans for some reason. Really tells you all you need to know about these people.

Hm, there are a few unnecessary words in the headline here. I’m no AI model but let’s see if I can’t help improve this a bit.
The headline “Anthropic’s ‘Watermark’ Text Adulteration in Claude Is a Perversion of Writing” with some words blocked out so it just reads “Claude Is a Perversion of Writing”

Massie is an idiot unconcerned with truth. The Pfizer statement was completely true. There was a published study in which the placebo group got sick and the trial group didn’t. Trying to prosecute someone for accurately describing the outcome of a real study is insane.

Someone here has the IQ of a pigeon but it’s not the people who correctly understand two very old forms of government. This guy thinks the words “democracy” and “republic” are derived from the names of the Democratic and Republican parties rather than the other way around.

The Xbox 360 port of Wolfenstein 3D (1992!) is on Game Pass and it’s rated M for the pixelated blood and violence. This game is rated M lol
Screenshot of Wolfenstein 3D. It looks, well, like a game from 1992.

there’s nothing to remind about here! apple intelligence blows, man. When I hit this button the reminder sheet opens and there’s nothing to even pre-populate!
