I don't know what's going to happen. I don't feel like I can do much about it, anyway. However, I do know that whatever happens, you are loved and are enough, and so am I. No matter what is taken, destroyed, disowned, or denied, no one can take who you are but you. And... 1/2

I want AI that, when I click a link, knows which window I meant it to open in, rather than using the last window I used. Work links in the work profile, personal in the personal profile. What simple task do you want AI to solve for you?

@microsftsupport.bsky.social I am trying to update my billing & shipping address on my account but your site won't accept it as valid. How am I supposed to enter the correct billing and shipping address? It's a valid place, I live there, my mail goes there, my bank is updated to use it. Please help!

How do folks manage all their socials? Do you have a checklist? An all-in-one tool? A marketing manager? Share your sharing secrets. Me? I flail, forget, and am wholly inconsistent.

oh my god there's a chinese knockoff of the cybertruck and somehow the cybertruck looks like a cheap knockoff of it www.carscoops.com/2024/05/dong...

The side of the new Dongfeng electrick pickup, which has four doors and a tent built into the buttressed rear bed. Suicide rear doors create a massive opening, and there is some kind of drop-down step so you can get up into the cabin.

The front quarter view of the Dongfeng electric pickup,, which has the kinds of actual styling elements that the Cybertruck doesn't. It also combines flat lines with curved elements, to create a cyberpunk look that isn't amateurish in its uncompromising starkness. The high beltline and small greenhouse are still dystopian, but in a more polished, complete way.

The tent awning off the back of the rear bed of the Dongfeng electric truck isn't wildly impressive, but at least it's not a $3k accessory like the overpriced Cybertruck tent. The bed is also small and impractical, but it doesn't look like a dumpster so it has that going for it.

The interior of the Dongfeng electric pickup is clearly inspired by the Cybertruck's minimalist interior, but it still has things like grab handles and the seats are nicely styled so it looks tough and dystopian and not like the bathroom of a cheap nightclub.
