It’s so cute getting the spam email from [MyDomain] IT department about my email password expiring soon.
I am the [MyDomain] IT department.
I’m sorry, we are nearly a quarter of the way through the 21st century, and if your automated mailing system can’t handle that my full first name has 11 characters and it chops off the last one, I’m not taking anything you send seriously.
Clearly the people complaining social media is toxic and awful are not following the right people online. Because I am crying from laughter from my Instagram feed today.
People are hilarious.
The Meta Quest commercial with the soon-to-be dad assembling the crib is sweet, but WHY IS HE NOT DOING IT IN THE NURSERY?
YOU THINK IT’S FITTING DOWN THAT TINY HALLWAY??
We really are just going to give #Skynet every tool with which to obliterate us, aren’t we? www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024…
Well, it’s quite obvious why the icon for the Apple Sports app is a soccer field. 🙄
No college baseball? College softball? Is there no NFL because it’s the off-season?

If I had been thinking ahead, I would have dug out my “I was a Mac user before Apple was doomed” t-shirt to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Macintosh.
#MyFirstMac was a Performa 6115CD I got at the Tulane University bookstore when my wife was in law school.
The fact that the first song the Apple Infinite Playlist algorithm churned out after the entirety of the debut album by Bad English finished playing was Steve Perry’s “Oh Sherrie” makes me think said algorithm programmer has a very good sense of humor.
If you’re nostalgic for the way Twitter used to be, give the Old Twitter extension a whirl. I’ve got it running in Brave and my unGoogled Chromium installation. They have one for Firefox, too. Simple and not annoying. github.com/dimdenGD/…

With today’s big Threads launch, this latest post by CJ Chilvers seems highly relevant: www.cjchilvers.com/blog/open…
You know why I still pay for TV through Frontier & run it all through my TiVo? Because streaming live sports absolutely sucks.
Watching LSU-OSU on ESPN+. Crews hits a 2-run homer. I rewind & pause so my wife can see it. Every time I press play, the stream COMPLETELY STARTS OVER.
It’s as if no one has ever read every sci-fi story written about AI, nor watched every movie made about same. www.foxnews.com/tech/us-m…
My wish for #WWDC2023 is if I get a voice mail on my iPhone, I actually have the voice mail available before or at the same time as the transcribed text message, instead of hours or days later.

Leave it to a homicidal weather AI to overreact. It wasn’t that gloomy here today, @CARROT@mastodon.social.
I very much approve of the programming of The Empire Strikes Back content into a homicidal weather AI like Carrot.
Movies: don’t build the AI, it’ll destroy the world.
People in reality: Let’s not only build the AI, but tell it all of our secrets! 🤦🏻♂️
