@Lana@beige.party the sandwich is plastic, you can’t even eat it. It was to be sold to the highest bidder from the start (SpaceX is not profitable, so no dividends, meaning holding the stock won’t have any benefits)

@stux my gen-z brother-in-law taught me that booking.com offers better prices on its mobile app. Yes, really, even when I’m signed in to my account on web

@cwebber@social.coop can’t wait for DataKrash!

@nickheer I’ve started doing yearly exports, using osxphotos (https://github.com/RhetTbull/osxphotos) to self-hosted immich; so I can keep using the 200GB family plan. I hope I’ll be able to cancel that at some point, I don’t want to pay a single penny to Apple

@Gargron enamel pin please

@nixCraft unrelated to the actual content, but I hate seeing screenshots of X in fediverse. Why do we give visibility to X posters here? Regardless of how good the post content is, it was posted to X. Are we out of stuff to talk about here so we need to refer to stuff on other platforms?

@dimillian congrats! Very well aligned with your political views too

@maxb @brentsimmons agreed, especially now iOS 26 includes on devices models powerful enough to summarize and translate articles. But non-local stuff? I’d grab my pitchfork

@anyware@mastodon.social amazingly written, thank you. Exactly how I feel as a product engineer for 10 years. Once the people whose only purpose is to move some KPI so they get promoted so they can find a higher salary job elsewhere take hold, it’s already too late.

@sandofsky@mastodon.social that was a breathtaking read, thank you for putting time and effort into this. It took me 2 hours to read and digest. I’ve followed lambda’s story on twitter between 2018-2020 and hype around it, especially paulg’s takes, were revolting. I didn’t know what happened to lambda so learning their fate brought me some kind of joy, partly due to being proven right, partly knowing that it was a scam all along (i loved my college, still dearly missing my college days). Fair to say i was one of Allred’s “haters” If you’d consider, Mighty is another startup that paulg kept tweeting about around the same time, but it didn’t involve scamming people, it was just stupid. It would make a fine story perhaps Reading about how education requires 1:1 attention made me think “oh my god, someone is going to try lambda school with ChatGPT soon, aren’t they?”. Perhaps they’re waiting to see how Devin will fare (when/if it launches)

@johnsundell here’s @rensbreur explaining why we shouldn’t pass closures to SwiftUI views: https://rensbr.eu/blog/swiftui-escaping-closures/

@timnitGebru@dair-community.social one important reason why US is quite ahead on the AI race is the US embargo on Chinese tech companies: https://www.techmeme.com/260723/p18#a260723p18

@Gargron@mastodon.social soundcloud?

@Migueldeicaza@mastodon.social why wasn’t it open in the first place? Oh right, it’s Apple… pay obscene amount of money for hardware you can’t even fully utilize

@mattiem@mastodon.social get your mom an android (with grapheneOS)
