The First Law of Robotics is not even available as an optional feature by most self-driving car manufacturers. This is perfectly acceptable & even unavoidable in a country where your car has more rights than you have.

Oh, but I would still choose it regardless. I'd just have to get people to do things for me :P

The Editor war is stupid. Edit your text files with the text editor that's right for *you,* and don't worry about the editor anyone else uses.

More importantly, Google is more uselessly irrelevant as a search engine with each passing day. It will never be as useful or relevant as it was 20 years ago.

Consider searching with alternatives, such as DuckDuckGo.com. It's also one of the defaults available in every browser but Edge.

Google: Welcome to the front lines of the Editor War, recruit!

DuckDuckGo: Here's a bunch of usefully relevant results, including in non-editor contexts. May you find the pages you meant to find.

PSA for my cis followers:

"Transwoman" and "Biological woman" are transphobe dog whistles. They're meant to try to indicate that trans women are not women.

Just remember: you don't say someone is a tallwoman or a blondewoman, she's a tall woman or a blonde woman.

And unless you're talking about a fembot, all women are biological women.

i keep hearing fantastic things about "mowing" from other cats, so i decided to give it a shot!!

re: Apple rant 

Apple's support instructions are just plain wrong because Apple changes them significantly between minor versions of MacOS.

Oh, and may the gods help you if your customer is using a perfectly functional or even pristine iMac whose only crime is running an OS past EOL, because Apple sure won't.

"Version too old? Take the extra time & effort to nuke the help docs! Tell them they should've thrown away good hardware & bought this year's model!"
Bite me, Tim.

Apple rant 

Apple has managed to make a mail application that makes me pine for the days of supporting the intentionally wonky Microsoft Outlook Express.

Apple has managed to make a documentation support website worse than the labyrinthine Microsoft Knowledge Base, mainly by filling it with support instructions that are just plain wrong.

Apple has managed to make finding meaningful 3rd-party help impossible by naming their mail program just "Mail."

How is my ISP supposed to support this junk?

Another great reason to describe your images, even if you're not thinking about unsighted people: sometimes during federation images get broken.

I could consume this post without needing to visit the original site 👍

Human beings were never meant to be on a single social media platform for life. Archaeological evidence tells us our earliest ancestors hopped from platform to platform, following the migrations of the influencer herds, moving on when the soil was too depleted to grow new discourse
