Texas Capital web site appears to be down until Monday, June 3. Does it always close for the weekend? Is it closed for maintenance? Just trying to look up some historical minutes. #TexasLeg #TXLege

#NetworkSolutions requires passwords to be between 12 and 16 characters. If you type a 17-character password, it silently drops the last character and sets your password to the first 16 characters to the password you've typed. If you miss that 16 is the MAX, later, it doesn't tell you that your password is limited to 16 characters, so you type in 17 to gain access, it doesn't truncate at that point, just refuses entry saying your password is incorrect. 🙄 #UI #UX

Is there any outside commentary praising AI in search engines? Where is the positive feedback that is convincing big tech this is what users (or even advertisers) desired.

Are electric cars better for the environment than fuel-powered cars? Here's the verdict - ABC News
(At least for the Australian power market)
I’d also like to see these types of charts include battery replacement. And this doesn’t address the increasing issue of carbon use due to city structure caused by the reliance on cars as opposed to building and zoning for local & mass transit.

Two OaK Point police vehicles on 288 in #Denton. Can’t help but imagine that’s most of their force.

Kayla Epstein’s camera person is either using a camera phone or think they are doing cinéma vérité shaky camera thing. I’m like, “hold the camera still!” #BBCAmerica #BBCNews

I have shared this before from the #Denton Public #Library, and I am sure it just a fluke of the Dewey Decimal System, but surely someone was having fun picking these topics for the sign.

#Meta #AI offers “helpful” suggestions to The Onion’s posts. They are hilarious at times, because it is clear that the AI does not know that #TheOnion is satire.

For me, the Internet literally was black and white & white—and sometimes black & amber or green.
And it came in about as fast as I could read it, cuz yes I had 300bps at first and then got 1200 when neighbor in the dorm moved up to 2400.

Site called lapost dot com advertising on social media. Site says it is Los Angeles Post. Cannot find any information about it or its history. “Local” tab is filled with international news, not Los Angeles local news. Most (all?) stories are from Reuters. Not sure what is up, but I’d be cautious about sites just spun up out of nowhere. #LAPost #LosAngelesPost #Journalism #BogusJournalism
