Too lazy to build this joke; here it is flat packed:
Apple event tomorrow

Folding phone has hinge
You TURN part of the phone around the hinge

You put it together. It's cheap and flimsy, but it works.

Having been using self-hosted Immich since April (with no Google sync since May), I'm now deleting every single photo in my Google account, since 2013. 🎉🎉
Immich has been very solid, EXCEPT the ML stuff that's supposed to scan the images. I can't search for ANYTHING in the image (text, subjects, etc.). That's a pretty minor complaint in the grand scheme of things.

I'm at the combination Dunkin'/Jimmy John's.
Alright, now one more 80 year old!
Every time I receive a ticket confirmation email and it doesn't contain an attached calendar event with all the pertinent information (including links to the tickets and/or a QR code), I am reminded that the vast, overwhelming majority of software exists not to be helpful to the end consumer, but to make the software manufacturer more money.

@frog_reborn@mstdn.social @libreoffice@fosstodon.org same here. I know even less: basically my knowledge is "something is going on." This post is staying so legally "safe" that it is essentially saying nothing.
Phase 1 (already done): require "AI" usage for continued employment
Phase 2 (early stages): make "AI" consumption allowance a "part of compensation"
Phase 3: "your consumption exceeds your total comp, actually, so we're going to be billing you"

@zachleat hey hey hey my lawyer has advised me not to say ANYTHING. But if someone were saying something, allegedly, someone might be saying that "uptime" almost certainly has some bonkers definition that no real person would find satisfying.
@nyquildotorg@gts.nyquil.org I found that the moment I gave my TV access to the Internet, it got noticably (50%+) slower doing trivial things like navigating menus. That's not even mentioning that there are ads scattered all over. I factory reset it and refused to connect it to the Internet ever again.
A different TV was flooding my entire network with scan requests, essentially DDoSing every device on the network and bringing the gigabit access down to ~100Mbps.
@paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange I had to do a mental double take when I parsed the argument he was actively making in front of a state legislative committee. Wild.

@beep@follow.ethanmarcotte.com hmmm sorry, it's only a "LinkedIn Post" if it talks about how productive and innovative you've become by using AI, otherwise it's just a sparkling broadcast.
Replying to
@zachleat hey here's one you've probably never heard:
"How do you know an 'AI' company is lying?"
"They're publishing data."
Or something, I'm still workshopping this.

Folks, I am BEGGING you to stop using the ad platform to browse the web. Don't use Chrome, don't use Vivaldi, don't use Edge, don't use Arc. The only way to stop these sociopaths is to show them that they don't have a complete stranglehold on access to the internet.

I definitely still follow him, but - uh - it's a different vibe. (It's a good vibe, sort of, like how V has a basement full of badthink items. You gotta get past the dystopia to appreciate the discoveries)

Just start reading through that until you understand.
No one should take anyone who uses Go seriously ever again.
@nyquildotorg@gts.nyquil.org oh just saying this was enough for me to actually go confirm what I said and ... joke's on me, unchecking this (defaulted on) seems to have stopped it from appearing at startup
@nyquildotorg@gts.nyquil.org 😅
The only downside is my TV now shows a VERY large, very garish banner like "accept our terms and connect to the internet to use all the features" for a while after the TV turns on. I think it can be dismissed (not permanently) but it displays for just short enough of a time that I haven't cared enough to learn which buttons to press to make it go away faster.
Whenever I hear about Hantavirus, it's always in connection with cruises, and I finally decided to actually look it up and... It's rats/mice. It's only spread from rats/mice (feces, urine, bites, scratches) and it does not spread human-to-human. This feels like a buried lede. Sure, you can't go around claiming a rat infestation with proof but the headline should not be "Suspected hantavirus outbreak" it should be "Suspected rat plague on ship".
So what's the OSS 3D modeling tool now?
I understand why the industry is calling these "1D" versus "2D" (they're read in 1 dimension versus being read in 2 dimensions), but this is a very stupid naming scheme that is entirely self-inflicted. They are "barcodes" (the old ones, formatted as a bar, read in 1 dimension) and "QR codes" (the new ones, formatted as a square, read in 2 dimensions). Calling a QR code a "2D barcode" is wacky and baffling.

@davidcelis@xoxo.zone can't speak to the migration experience, but I've been satisfied with self-hosted Bitwarden, if you're evaluating that kind of option.
Stupid. Instead of getting A predator, Death went out and killed THE Predator. You really have to be hyper-specific with this guy.
@nyquildotorg@gts.nyquil.org "Extra Cheesy" is the best, and I find these essentially intolerable.
@jaredwhite@indieweb.social Unfortunately, Ive was able to bring the Apple Luxury Car into existence and it's exactly as bad as you'd expect: https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/auto/ferrari-luce
@nyquildotorg@gts.nyquil.org the old ones are 1D, which is why you can't see them.
