Is this totalitarianism?
A dark-themed notification banner from Bluesky reads: “The laws in your location require you to verify you're an adult before accessing certain features on Bluesky, like adult content and direct messaging.

This is nice but appears at the top of the file, so not very useful for projects with multiple scripts.
Screenshot of R code showing package dependencies with renv::use() function. The code lists five package versions: httr2 version 1.1.1.9000, jsonlite version 1.9.1, renv version 1.1.3, tidygeocoder version 1.0.5, and tidyverse version 2.0.0. The code appears in a code editor with syntax highlighting showing function names in blue and version strings in red.

Screen shot containing the following text: "He talks batshit crazy nonsense in a kind of stream of consciousness way. It's free association. It's radical in its refusal to abide by the conventional forms of political speech, partly because it is all about just getting the words out and rarely does even think about the substance behind the words or what they mean. And it is certainly true that Donald Trump is not someone who's coming up with new ideas in politics. I don't think Donald Trump has had an original political thought in his life. His politics is spectacularly derivative. Trump's originality doesn't lie in the content of his political beliefs. It lies in the form that they take. And the form they take is this sort of radical, free associative stream of consciousness, way of communicating, which nonetheless is a real way of communicating."

Basically my brain’s response after “reasoning” about a subject for 10 minutes.
A chatbot response with a blue whale icon showing the message 'Sorry, that's beyond my current scope. Let's talk about something else.' Below the message are three gray interaction icons for copying, thumbs up, and thumbs down."​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Normal country.
A screenshot of a social media post from the U.S. Department of Education. The post states, ‘Under President Trump, ED’s Office of Civil Rights will not tolerate discrimination of any kind.’ Below this text is a link: ‘https://lnkd.in/e8QAi9eV.’ The image within the post has a blue background with white text and features the Department of Education’s seal, which consists of a tree with green leaves inside a circular border. The text in the image reads: ‘PRESS RELEASE. U.S. Department of Education Launches Investigation into Denver Public Schools for Converting Girl’s Restroom to All-Gender Facility.’ Below this, the URL ‘www.ed.gov/news’ is displayed.

Apple Intelligence summarized notifications need a lot of work (unfortunately the Spirits did not win).
Screenshot of an Apple Podcasts notification summarized by Apple Intelligence. It incorrectly summarized a podcast episode as "Spirts won their championship game".
