Society will tell you the perfect family vehicle is an oversized SUV with poor road visibility that offers a false sense of protection, and not a 2523 Paris-Class Heavy Frigate sporting eight fusion drives and a Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine.

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far
i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

some icons are very similar to their original designs, and some really aren't. i tried to keep them all having a similar colour palette to keep them quickly recognizable, but played with the silhouette because apple making everything a ~rounded square~ sucks ass actually

You should see how they all do with making a clock... updates every minute, and somehow most never get any better at it.. and those that do, will not necessarily in the next minute.

Chell responded by being the greatest test candidate that GlaDOS has ever seen. And being a good test candidate is HOT.

Upon reaching maturity, larger male sirens develop a nasal protuberance, which has adapted to look like the silhouette of a human head. Some individuals have been seen decorating it with grass and weeds to imitate hair. This attracts unwary swimmers who are lured into a sense of safety.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

what a great story with some real hacker energy. Makes you wonder what these companies would actually be like if they weren't so adversarial to their own employees.

I hate what cloudflare does to peoples brains when deploying a system. If the idea is to make your delivery and access more fault tolerant and you rely solely on CF to provide that tolerance then you've failed on an architectural level.
