Won’t somebody please think of the shareholders!

And here I thought the pitch for AI was all about democratizing knowledge. Womp womp.

I sourced a new desktop to install Linux and move my plex server once I get some new drives to put them in the proper format. I’ll be giving it to Microsoft from both ends ;)

Jokes on them I decided to give macOS a shake when it was time for a new laptop.

That’s well and good, but imagine keeping your software backwards compatible with an ancient 14 billion year old file standard.

On the list of phrases I didn’t expect to be possible in 2025: “Hey Meta, take a video of me about to commit war crimes.”

RIP 1899

Or an American restaurant named Cracker Barrel?

Hmm dehydrated brains might need a second take if she were searching in a dark freezer. I like it.

The first episode showed the Others collecting the dead. A few episodes later it’s revealed that they don’t kill, but are perfectly fine consuming already dead organisms.

Helen’s corpse is a recurring reminder up until this episode to the point that Carol has to bury it—an act we never see the Others do, so the popular theory right now is that the bodies are probably consumed. I keep coming back to my Aquamation theory because of the result of the contents in the milk cartons and now also because of the previous energy conservation efforts. Aquamation takes a fair bit of energy to heat the bodies that get processed, and doing it to nearly a billion people would be no small feat.

The powdered substance found in the dog food bags are likely crushed bones (basically calcium) or crystallized aquamated people used to fertilize or be consumed.

Of course Carol is shocked to see something, but we’ll need to wait and see what exactly.

Whether or not I’m onto something it’s an illuminating look into the funerary world and the alternatives that exist to embalming and a casket.

So 6 days of 12-hour shifts? Sounds like a pretty novel way to tank your economy because no one’ll have the time to spend money or raise a family.

Necroprinting is the new Necromancer skill upgrade I’ve been waiting for.

I think I’m mixing the two because there are services that kind of turn Mastodon into an RSS reader.

That’s true that it is somewhat more robust than requiring a federated account, but I think that comes at the cost of discoverability which may or may not be something you might want to broadcast on a social network anyway 🤷‍♂️

So basically government fediverse instances.

Certified bullshit

The iPad is a great ultra-light and portable device for drawing, document annotation, and reading/media consumption. Overall it excels at viewing tasks that require little-to-no text input.

I know that some people swear by yoga-style laptops, but I just see that as a novel liability by subjecting your device to extra external stresses. At the end of the day it’s just a tool, and if it doesn’t fit your workflow don’t use it.

It’s already hard enough to get people to donate even $20 towards fediverse projects like Lemmy or Mastodon.

Scavenger’s Reign and Infinity Train died via HBO Max. I think these shows would fit so well in Apple’s growing sci-fi portfolio.

Eh, design trends ebb and flow. I think the complaints are overblown.

Missing the link to the article, kind sir.
