Fuck yeah, Jojo. #chicago #daJewels #jojo

@WarnerCrocker That's one tenuous dibs right there

@jwz Been forced to use a Windows machine for work for the first time in decades. Damn, they are pulling out every scuzzy anti-pattern for Copilot.
1. 365 comes up with Copilot selected
2. Default first app shown on 365 app list, alphabetical or no
3. If you remove it from your taskbar, only option in menus is to re-pin it

I'm expecting it to be a default option in every drop down menu, and every time autocomplete gets a 'c', it suggests "copilot."

@cstross @jdw @markotway @Rob_T_Firefly @nullagent Here's the thing about pattern matching AI: training is a bitch, and it takes a lot of data/effort (in most cases) to keep it up to date. So even if it does work, it's usually not sustainable.

@tek 12" version equally slaps

@tek Quality ABBA cover right there

Snow accumulating pretty good in Portage Park #chicago

@jwz Shocking how much denial there is about how fucked we are. Blind luck is the only thing preventing blood in the streets.

@jwz Now I want to approach every slightly evil-looking peeson demanding "give me geometry lessons!" to see if they're a demon.

@jwz I can't believe the asshole trolled all the way to the White House, and we all let him.

@jwz We could use both that & Get Your War On back

@jwz This seriously needs a 21st century update for modern tech. The server instructions would be WILD.

Hey @pluralistic, based on current media reactions, I'm thinking this is an unprecedented bezzle period. Far too many seem to be assuming it's business as usual, whereas until the shoe drops, no one really knows what happened. Can you think of a political bezzle like this before in history?

Because, if everyone is talking inflation as the global reason for incumbents getting destroyed, then hoo boy, when the inflation from tariffs/deportations hits...are people going to figure it out.

@lamp @pluralistic Every time I have to look something up about bike repair and Sheldon's website is outliving him, it gives me hope. Like visiting an ancient monastic library.

@lamp @pluralistic Totally. Like, would anyone today even do something like this without weird paywalls and video ads?

@lynn @WarnerCrocker Definitely. I'm a sucker for good Greek mythology works, and this definitely sucked me in.
