@hellomiakoda @tootbrute Looks like it might depend on whether the hashtag starts with a capital letter? I would just send this image to their support. I get that they are trying to improve legibility but then they need to keep the word but remove the # and formatting.

@briankrebs Indiana University's Pamela Whitten: "We are absolutely not grovelling to fascists or suppressing free speech. I am shutting down your newspaper for saying that we are."
It's very on the nose, isn't it?

@lzg The last thing I did with my friend before he died was a trip to IKEA. Kinda glad I didn't have a therapist telling me that I should go for the healing.

@inthehands @MisuseCase @mekkaokereke Wait so Chauvin knew Floyd from his extra gig running a protection racket?

@nixCraft As annoyingly as I can. But English doesn't have enough vowels anyway.

@fuzzychef @inthehands We had a similar game in 7th (?) grade but not local, just the 20 most traded stocks in the country. There was a prize for gaining the most fictional money. Of course the winners had a single company in their portfolio - teaching us that the way to win is to maximise risk.

@inthehands @tess Okay, I just saw it was OpenAI. Then it makes sense for them, even if it doesn't for the consumer. I agree with you then.

@inthehands @tess Yeah, if the models were local then it might help fuel the upgrade circus. But they aren't. It's all just cloud compute.

@inthehands That sign... Aren't abortions usually before birth?
