"I'll slip into something more comfortable"

*goes back to bed*

Ahahahaha no tumblr no, the term egg is not unique to trans women.

It’s not erasing trans women for trans men to use it too. Or nonbinary folk.

Or hell, anyone. When you have a conscious realisation of the kind there’s no coming back from once it’s in your head consciously - that’s an egg crack.

@neil fun story: when I was 15 I registered askjeves.co.uk, copied the site and made it respond with “Piss off, I’m busy” to any question. They threatened to sue my parents, I was obviously terrified so immediately transferred the domain. Their lawyers later confessed it was the funniest thing they’d seen. I was not popular with my parents for a while.

I made this a few years ago, to compare the size of the entire screen on an original 128k Mac with the size of the Safari icon on modern macOS. Enjoy!

@gabrielesvelto when they took down half the Internet twice with just a little break in between I suspected AI shenanigans to be the cause, and maybe I wasn't the only one. Announcing now to fire the people who might correct the next mess may not be reassuring.

I had heard about the CloudFlare job cuts, what I had not realized is that after announcing them the company lost over 23% of its value in one sitting. I guess the trick of announcing job cuts to pump up your stock doesn't work anymore.

Finally a video that conveys my mental state

@aparrish There are two kinds of articles you can write about AI, just like there are two kinds of obituaries you can write about Henry Kissinger.

And every morning tech "journalists" wake up and choose the one that is not this: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/henry-kissinger-war-criminal-dead-1234804748/

my favorite kind of AI/LLM criticism media is when the person begins with a huge hedge like "I'm not an AI hater. *of course* AI is a useful technology and it will doubtlessly have transformative effects on the way we work" and then they spend the next 8k words/45 minutes showing how AI isn't actually useful and won't actually transform the way we work. it's like... it's okay to just say that AI sucks

These lyrics are a little different from what I remember...
