Software contractor companies reaching out to me constantly is annoying, but their spam has hit a new low--this email is meant to sound like a dating profile & even titled "Dating Profile" in case I don't get it, feels condescending.

Is this supposed to seem "cute"? B/c it just comes off as creepy.

"Leave (some broccoli for) her bro" made me giggle. Spotted at one of the WW2 bunkers on the Marin headlands.

As if we needed more reasons why LLMs/"AI"/the companies using it are bad.

*This* company clearly uses an LLM to generate product descriptions, and the description is wrong about literally everything. Aaand then it exclaims "(r*pe) can be a source of immense joy".

And nobody noticed?

So gross.

Aaand coming in *just* under the wire at the very end of #MARCHintosh! picked up an old Bondi Blue iMac puck mouse to go with my Pico Micro Mac--finally complete set to go with the mini monitor and mouse :)

My phone refused to focus properly so @lbenmore.bsky.social did a manual-HDR to get the shot

Just got my M2 Max Inside sticker from @basicappleguy.com and it looks fantastic!

Getting in late on #MARCHintosh but have been having fun with my Pico Micro Mac! Got a suitably tiny monitor and keyboard to match--now just need to find a tiny mouse to go with. Any suggestions?

I found what is apparently the smallest abandoned railway ever, up in the Alps...
