Now, because of Google's no-opt-out policy on AI searches, every search uses ten times more power than they used to. Want to find out what movie Danny DeVito did with Arnold Schwarzenegger? Now, you have to weigh your curiosity against the health of the planet.
Don't Google that! It was Twins! Jeez, didn't you read the start of this post?
A post by rax 'leads with her crotch' king @RaxKingIsDead The post says, "hahahahaha this sucks man Each time you search for something like "how many rocks should I eat" and Google's AI "snapshot" tells you "at least one small rock per day," you're consuming approximately three watt-hours of electricity, according to Alex de Vries, the founder of Digiconomist, a research company exploring the unintended consequences of digital trends. That's ten times the power consumption of a traditional Google search, and roughly equivalent to the amount of power used when talking for an hour on a home phone. (Remember those?)

Well, you write a lot of bad code, like a hole shitton of bad code, then you maintain it for a few years and then you look at it again and say holy shit, and that’s when you know you’ve gotten better. Rinse and repeat for ever.

The great start for #PragmaConf Day 2 continues with @feli speaking about accessibility in designing APIs.

Haptic's touch-based navigation helps blind and sighted alike get around without looking | TechCrunch

Smartphones and navigation apps have become second nature these days. But for those with blindness and low vision, it's not quite so convenient. Haptic

I am a straight, cis male. For the most part, I'm OK with that, but if I could just make facial hair stop existing in my life without changing anything else, that'd be cool. I really, really hate shaving. I also hate not shaving because I put it off for too long, since I hate shaving. I just want nothing to do with any of it.

I don't enjoy it either. When my soup is more on than in me is about time for a trim. Then I just lop it all off and end up looking like a teen.

I left my Melbourne hotel at 8:30am, Tuesday 29 October.

I caught a 12:00pm flight from Melbourne to San Francisco also on Tuesday 29 October.

Then I caught another 12:00pm flight from San Francisco to Newark, still on Tuesday 29 October.

I have walked into the door of my house in Buffalo at 11:30pm — 23:30 on Tuesday 29 October.

I have spent 30 hours traveling and have not gotten away from Tuesday 29 October.

Cartoon by Jim Benton
#Meme #spookyseason
In this comic by Jim Benton, Alice, a character with blue hair and a pentagram hoodie, is seen setting up a ritual circle with candles and a red pentagram. In the second panel, she summons a green demon-like creature. As the ritual continues, more strange and demoniac creatures appear in the circle. In the second-to-last panel, a purple creature realizes something's off, saying, "Wait a second… These are birthday candles!" In the final panel, the creatures, now joined by Alice holding a birthday cake, look happy. The last character now touched says:"You guys"

✨ Sliding Sync at the Matrix Conference — mnt.io/articles/sliding-sync-a… ✨

I have presented Sliding Sync, a novel, fast and efficient synchronisation mechanism for the Matrix protocol, at the first Matrix Conference in Berlin. It's been many many months that I'm working on this project, and I'm joyful it's now available to everyone for a better Matrix user experience!

The article contains the recording + slides. I've highlighted other talks too.

I don’t get political very often on here, but this is gold! And yes, since this election will have worldwide repercussions, many of us outside the U.S. definitely hope for a particular winner. youtube.com/watch?v=se-didBGn8…

Sure, I played Shades of the Past, Merentha, some vampire stuff, and some Wheel of Time stuff. Some MUDs in Spanish as well.

O Público noticia que entre 2015 e 2023 houve 126 casamentos, em Portugal, que envolveram crianças entre os 10 e os 14 anos.
Mas depois os activistas climáticos é que são presos.

So, whats the trick in reading the APple INtelligence output preview in MacOs? I see a popover, but VoiceOver simply reads the controls in that, not the content.

I only discovered it by trying everything during the beta cycle and vaguely remembering that key let you escape a popup lol. The proofing tools are even more fun if you decide to try those out because they display 2 popovers. One has previous and next controls which step through every suggested change. When you press it the cursor is moved to where the change was made but there’s also a second popup displayed that explains what was done and why with a revert button. If you want to get back to the main controls to review the next change, you have to first press escape to close that popup otherwise vo-j won’t work.

We just released a big update, with support for the following:

- Full Table of Contents (during export)
- Apple Intelligence Writing Tools (where available)
- New iOS Shortcuts (via Control Center and iPhone Action Button)

We also fixed a weird crash when dragging a project from Backup onto the Library. For full release notes, see ulysses.app/release-notes

Screenshot showing Ulysses with the editor and a PDF export, containing a table of contents.

Ulysses - Release Notes

A pleasant, focused writing experience combined with effective document management, fast syncing and flexible export make Ulysses the first choice for writers of all kinds.

The last time I turned on my Mac Mini was two weeks ago when I recabled the desk.

The time before that was in June 2023 when I moved into this apartment.

I have two of them (one m1, one Intel) on top of each next to me on my work desk. I don't use them even once a month.

New song by the fabulous Marsh Family for these trying times.

"Bohemian Trumpsody" - Marsh Family adaptation of "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen about trump.

How is this real life? Wish it was fantasy!
Ought to be landslide, not a race to the final week
Look in his eyes, it’s up to you guys, you see
He’s just a playboy, he feels no empathy
Because he’s kinda dumb, kinda slow
Little lie, shitty joke
Every single swing vote really really matters to liberty
