Tahoe is by far the buggiest and most frustrating #macOS update I’ve ever had the misfortune to install. Especially for Music. Avoid.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

NZ is seen as an attractive place to live because of the perception of environmental protection and lack of corruption. The Govt’s Fast Track Approvals Act is a direct attack on both.

You don't have to love children, and you don't have to have children, but you do need to recognise that children are people. It's really weird how some of you online are very comfortable saying heinous things about a group of people because you feel they don't count.

GREAT NEWS! Our wonderful library, Te Matapihi, has reached a huge milestone with construction work now finally finished. On time and on budget. It'll re-open in March 2026. For me, this marks an exciting future for Wellington where we'll start to see parts of our city open back up again. #nzpol

I absolutely agree the Greens have pro-social collective values, but I also found that the 2023 NZES has a how much do you trust trust scientists question, and Green voters in 2023 exhibit the highest positive (lot + somewhat) trust with 98.9% of Green voters.

I think Ai chatbots passing the Turing test is impressive, in the same way that a magician passing a coin through a solid oak table is impressive. But the thing is, magicians can't actually pass coins through tables; their skill is in making it seem that they can.

Discovered that New World sells "straight croissants" in their bakery. WTF?! They taste even less genuine than our "camem-brie" does.
