   I *hate hate hate hate hate* AI-generated bug reports. No human I've ever met writes anything that long, with sections and bullet points.

   It's a lot quicker and easier to understand a problem reported as "when I do X, Y happens instead of Z" instead of a wall of text that finishes off with a "suggested areas of investigation" heading and list.

   It honestly makes me want to leave the bug in place.

   I use Tailscale for home purposes, mostly so I can access movies from other locations without having to deal with reverse proxies and security. It's great software. I'm just saying this as preface: I would recommend it to anyone looking for a remote networking solution.

   Yesterday they sent out an email about various events they would have a presence at, general marketing stuff, mostly in tech hubs and cons. Nothing remarkable. One of the events was that they were sponsoring a family movie night with another company. The movie picked was Harry Potter, but most people don't care, and it's a fine family movie. I shrugged and moved on with my day. Life's too short to get pissed off about stuff like that.

   Well, today they sent out an email apologizing for the choice of movie and promising to do better in future.

   I'm not stanning a corp. I wish there were a decent open-source option (well, they're built atop the open-source option, but goddamn do they make it easier). But it was nice to see. In a world which has gone full-on transphobia and doesn't seem to think that Jowling Kowling Rowling is worthy of comment, I guess enough technical people who use Tailscale aren't assholes and complained, or who knows, maybe someone at the company pointed it out, but whatever the reason, they rethought the movie choice. And they didn't just do it, they apologized for it to everyone on their mailing list.

   It's a small thing, but I thought I'd share it both to say that I will continue to use Tailscale because it really is good software, but also if you need a nice thing, I guess this is a nice thing.

   He attempted a coup, has been convicted for 34 felonies, has been found liable for fraud and defamation, and has been a life-long con artist, yet MAGAs are both shocked and upset that the Creature From the Orange Lagoon didn't drain his own swamp and release the Epstein client list.

   It's almost as if he shouldn't be trusted.

   This looks really good. Going to add it to my list.

   It reminds me of one of my favorite books of philosophy from the past few years “The World Beyond Your Head” by Matthew Crawford. He looks at the crisis of attention and identity in modernity and places it as a result of certain epistemological assumptions from the Enlightenment. Much of his argument for fixing this rests on how traditional knowledge and craft knowledge works.

   The way people want to share posts via DMs in the Pixelfed app is on my todo list.

   It will be much easier to convince your friends and people to join Pixelfed once we have feature parity for Close Friends, Stories, DMs and Group Chats.

   Sup is a strategic play, it's all about the network effect ⚡️
