stand up for trans people: it is the right thing to do and it just will not hurt you, not now, not in this environment and maybe folks can start to relearn that trans people are pretty fucking cool, actually

Innovators became rent seekers and are very aggrieved that they’re no longer treated like innovators. Sorry the public doesn’t see the world’s biggest companies and richest people pushing enshittified, mediocre, or damaging products as plucky start-ups doing exciting things. But whose fault is that?

A mosquito just tried to get me but I got it first and then I entombed it in sticky tape and will now bury it so that it survives for millions of years and future humans can bring back today’s humans and let them roam around a fenced park eating the tourists of the future. Life finds a way.

Automated systems to which we delegate life or death decisions need to have SO MUCH REDUNDANCY because the cost of getting it wrong is so high. "Go fast and break things" attitudes are cute for code. Not cute for real life engineering.

Getting stuck while we're writing is a feature, not a bug. It's the point of the exercise. It's what happens when we are trying to express something we have not expressed before. That friction forces us to make the tools we need to understand and express it. Getting stuck is how we make meaning.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

If, like me, you weren't too pleased about the steep hike in your Microsoft 365 subscription this year, you can avoid it by switching back to 'Classic' (without Copilot). Thanks Nick Gelling at Consumer Magazine for the tip! www.consumer.org.nz/articles/you...

You don’t have to pay the Microsoft 365 price increase

Here’s how to keep the price of your subscription the same as it’s always been.
