Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications. 1/

The Siri that was promised back in 2011 never quite materialized. Now the big upgrade promised as part of Apple Intelligence is delayed “indefinitely.” Why can't Apple get Siri right?

It was literally the perfect American war. Mountains of cash for the military-industrial complex, far away, and no American lives on the line
Military aid to Ukraine has always been a bargain for the U.S.
We degraded Russia’s armed forces and replaced our own stockpiles with brand new weapons, all while brave Ukrainians— not Americans—fought the Russians off.
Halting that aid is not only morally repulsive, it’s plain stupid.

FFS. If you don’t like Copilot then just don’t use it. There’s plenty of other features in Word that you don’t use. It’s not that hard.
This performative outrage over AI features being added to software is such a pointless waste of energy

My laptop has done an update, and now Word is forcing Copilot on me, and I am livid. I want it to go away. It's not *enabled*, but I have to see the icon hovering on the side of the page, begging to be used. The tips and tricks for removing Copilot aren't working. @microsoft.com, this is TRASH.

One time some fresh-faced analyst asked how we turn off screenshots in Windows to prevent data exfiltration.
Oh buddy.
Oh buddy.
I counted *seven* different ways of doing screenshots and screen snipping in Windows (five in Windows 10 and five in Windows 11, but two of those are different); I explain how to use all of them - in a free edition of the AskWoody newsletter

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
