Very amusing seeing Frank taking a victory lap for Twitter when the Mastodon thread consistently has more boosts and favourites.

I'd guess what did it for Microsoft wasn't disbelief or anger but the widespread and pointed mockery phase that the Recall discourse had entered.

Let's encourage the better decisions, and continue the mockery of the bad ones.

When Charlie Stross calls you the bigger dumber evil, you listen.

Even if you're Microsoft.

I feel like it's never a good sign to see @cstross seriously consulted about emerging consumer technology, but the truth in this case is actually more invasive than grasping, pulsing tentacles of evil or being locked into a ward with malfunctioning evil robot nurses

Here in NYC my daughter’s high school’s LGBQT club gave out these bracelets yesterday. She wore these home on her arm. While walking down 1st Ave in Manhattan a normally dressed white dude shouted at her “You fagg*ts are what’s wrong with America! Can’t wait to put you back in your place.”

My daughter is straight but wearing them in solidarity. And she’s a tough New Yorker who brushed off the dumbasses comments. But these assholes are everywhere and think they’re tough yelling at 13yr olds.

woke up and wrote a note last night before rolling over and going back to sleep.

"LLM hype as reflection of id ascendent after regulatory capture of ego and superego."

don't quite remember what spawned that, but okay, me. maybe less sugar around bedtime for a bit.

I just almost accidentally tooted a photo of my cat’s latest diarrhoea episode.

if you're feeling down, or just want another reason to celebrate tonight,

today marks 20 years without Ronald Reagan in the world.

In a private chat, a friend asked about how to get a Steam gift card to another friend in a far-off country.

And so I got to tell one of my favorite stories, the time Valve had to entirely refactor a part of their business because organized crime was using shooty game digital weapon skins to launder money.

#GossiAirways time. Taking off from London City airport. Have a 24gb VRAM GPU... it is using 94% of the 24gb just at the airport.

Look, I get it. Jack wants the freedom to sport that godawful beard and Twitter is genuinely the only place where wannabe billionaire simps won't roast him for having facial hair that somehow screams "white supremacist billy goat".
