Nope, inasmuch as I am forced to depend on others (people and orgs) that are using them... and not always using them well 🫤 In my own usage scenarios, I admit to benefitting in similar ways that I benefit from using IDEs and other tools in my software/systems work.

Ah hah! I was wondering if it was an amazon recommendation or social network generated recommendation... but i should have guessed it was actually a real recommendation from a real person 😁

10.1 IS RELEASED. rockylinux.org/news/rocky-l...
A scene from the office in which the humorously bland "IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY." sign has been edited to say "10.1 IS RELEASED".

Text not properly skewed because, well, I don't know. Had better things to do than figure out how to properly skew it I guess. But I'll probably look that up now, in case I need to do it sometime. But wait, doesn't that mean I had time to do it in the first place? This is bad time management.

LLMs have perfected the art of being confidently wrong, but they didn't invent it. For 13 years, Merriam-Webster included the word "dord". Never heard of a dord? It's not a thing. Why was "dord" in a dictionary? A chemist told Merriam-Webster researchers "D or d" were synonyms for "density". 🤦

Forced Consent & Consent Bypass

16 June 2025
Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this."
