I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.
And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

Watched the Digital Foundry take on the box yesterday, and they were real skeptical of the “this can do 4k” talk from Valve. I think a lot of write ups talking about this device as comparable to the PS5/XSX are perhaps overselling it. I love the concept, but I think we should all be cautious.
Valve just built the Xbox that Microsoft is dreaming of. In my Notepad newsletter this week I cover the Steam Machine and Microsoft's future Xbox, as well as some changes to the Windows Insider program. Live for subscribers now 👇 www.theverge.com/tech/819844/...

Survived my first colonoscopy yesterday. No issues noted by the doctor. I think not eating for so long was the worst part. The "cleansing" wasn't awful. Not being able to have foamed milk with my coffee or a morning bagel... that was awful.

At this point the only thing that keeps me from knowing for sure that Trump ran Epstein's trafficking ring is the fact that it was successful.

Something I find myself saying to friends these days: Stay strong and keep the faith. We have to keep our chins up and our minds right. I suppose another way of saying this: "Don't let the bastards grind you down."

It's the 5th anniversary of Miles Morales - which in my mind is easily the best of all three of Insomniac's games. And I'd argue, the best Spider-Man game ever made.
‘Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales’ is one of the greatest superhero games ever made, almost perfectly building upon everything Insomniac laid with the first. www.inverse.com/gaming/marve...

Funny how we all just “have to” accept AI as progress even if it’s janky and either has demonstrated no improvements to productivity or outright tanks it, but we never had to accept remote work despite every study showing it improves productivity AND workers lives.

As much as I find common cause with my more radical friends I (reluctantly) oppose the hardline proposals to summarily incarcerate every ICE agent. I urge everyone to consider the centrist compromise of abolishing ICE
Veteran ICE officials @nickmiroff.bsky.social spoke with view the use of masks as an unquestionably negative development. But it’s not going away anytime soon, Miroff reports: https://theatln.tc/acMM0axK

Going in today for a combo colonoscopy / gastrointestinal endoscopy. Should I not wake up, please know that I liked some of you more than others but not as much as a few of you. If you feel so inclined, feel free to make me a best selling author in death. My wife would get a real chuckle out of it.

With Trump’s massive tax cuts for the wealthy currently exploding the deficit, and now this, Trump and his oligarch cronies want to make us debt slaves from birth to death while truly owning nothing, while they buy bigger yachts and more mansions.

Even if poor Americans are starving, they should at least take some comfort from the fact that the Supreme Court justices who are allowing them to starve have very impressive, academic credentials.

This from the man who called Joe Biden, "Sleepy Joe." Much akin to how almost every anti-gay bigot in the 90s turned out to be a closet case... with Trump and the Republicans it remains the undeniable truth: "Every accusation is a confession."
