@thomasfuchs my god it's beautiful

me at the beginning of the logarithmic curve: haha fuck yeah!!! yes!!!

me further along the curve: well this fucking sucks. what the fuck

something i don’t think very many people who used to follow news organizations on twitter realize is that all those same organizations have flipboard accounts, and they’re federated, so you can follow them on mastodon

man, private relay is so bad. i try to only use it on unencrypted public wifi, but since there’s no setting for that, it gets applied to all sorts of networks, including my own iPhone’s personal hotspot. (even when i disable “limit ip address tracking” on the hotspot, it re-enables itself after some time. this causes lots of issues on the subway, where there’s only signal at stations.)

but really, maybe https is enough and i should forego it altogether

@thomasfuchs from dpreview: “Somehow Canon have managed to produce a CMOS sensor which not only has the pixel count but is big enough (APS sized) to be used practically in an SLR.”

how quaint

three crucial ingredients for a conspiracy theorist:
1. reading uncomprehension

hear me out: what if instead of brexit, they did brentrance

trillionaire? all i hear is “extremely large single point of failure”

oh…cool…

weird how claude mythos is too dangerous to release to the public because [checks notes] it can find existing security holes, but not a word is said about how many security holes claude generates on the regular

damn it’s good

“We are in an outrageous place, where the actions of some of the biggest and most influential technology companies in the world are so beyond the pale that we can’t even discuss the things that they are doing in polite company. The actions that take place on these platforms used to mean that simply *accessing* these kinds of sites during one’s workday would be a firing offense. Now we have employers and schools trying to *require* people to use these things.”

the greatest trick the devil ever played is making good people believe “power corrupts” so they’d shy away from holding office and make room for corrupt people
