The fact that this keeps happening is funny in so many ways that I feel like I cannot articulate.
President Trump and the new AI search tool on his social media network, Truth Social, don’t exactly see eye to eye.
The “answer engine” says the 2020 election wasn’t stolen, tariffs aren’t boosting the stock market and Barack Obama is seen favorably.

I find it interesting that Facebook refuses to use iOS’s private photos API. Y’know, the one that lets users pick photos directly in the app, without giving the app access to the entire photo library.
There’s gotta be a reason for that.

I'm finally doing a deep dive on figuring out AWS, and using IAC (specifically, Pulumi, to do it)

This is what happens when you treat workers as disposable
This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Every time I start a new Home Assistant config, I always dig graves for myself.
I went from “I should set up CI for my Hass config” to “How do I create an S3 bucket in Go?”

I’ve been doing an experiment where I take various pictures of my back yard and set it to my virtual meeting background.
People always comment on how nice it looks where I live.

Curious how RCS on iPhones is going to work with group chats.
Currently, if in a group chat with a non-iPhone user, iOS uses MMS for all recipients. Will it do the same with RCS?
If someone turns off iMessage, will it use RCS?
