I mean, if you rewind like 10 seconds, they explain that it was because of user feedback, not some brand new thing they invented.

"took care of a bunch of of things you've been asking about"

"part of how we do this is by listening to users and developers"

"our team really appreciates your feedback and we considered it deeply"

Time for my annual "WTF ScanSnap?!?" post. Why does a scanner driver need near-weekly updates, and why in god's name is it almost 2GB?

Screenshot of the ScanSnap updater dialog box, showing the latest version, 3.7.0, is 1,772.7 MB.

Nice to see Spotify using Image Playgrounds on iOS to make icons now.

NATO has no obligations in the middle east.

Article 6 1

For the purpose of Article 5, an armed attack on one or more of the Parties is deemed to include an armed attack:
on the territory of any of the Parties in Europe or North America, on the Algerian Departments of France 2, on the territory of Turkey or on the Islands under the jurisdiction of any of the Parties in the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer;
on the forces, vessels, or aircraft of any of the Parties, when in or over these territories or any other area in Europe in which occupation forces of any of the Parties were stationed on the date when the Treaty entered into force or the Mediterranean Sea or the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer.

Ah yes, the typical Apple "call this US toll-free number but I'm going to text you from a mobile phone with a UK extension" totally legit communication. 🙄

The G train exists. You don't have to go into Manhattan to get from Brooklyn to Brooklyn. (I lived a couple blocks from the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station for 12 years. The G train is fine.)

I’m old enough to remember when Tom was a mandatory first friend on MySpace, and we all thought that was self-centered and weird.

Fetterman is awful, for sure. But he’s also a blue dot. More blue dots means the person who makes all the rules and decides what is voted on is also a blue dot. Sorry, but I’m a pragmatist liberal. I’ll take all the blue dots I can get this year.

Slow your roll, @partifulapp.bsky.social, I’m going to a freaking elementary school birthday party.

A pop-up in the Partiful app suggesting I pick a “crush” at the party.

I love when I book a "Kid's Cut" for my 7-year-old, I get upsold a beard trimming and gray blending.

Fuck all of these people. They are either _actual_ Nazis, or are stupid enough to read a Nazi slogan and think "hey, maybe that will work for us!" Either way, they should all face criminal trials very very soon.

Disney+ has it right.

Absolutely not. I’m still deleting birthdays out of my calendar from people I’ve never met because I allowed Facebook to see my contacts in 2008.

This #NoKingsProtest splash screen is giving exactly the wrong message. The ❌ should be on top of the 👑. Layers give context and this graphic implies a king stomping on opposition, not the other way around. Anyway, F*ck Tr*mp.

Screenshot of the splash screen from the YouTube live stream of the no Kings protest. There’s a graphic of a illustrated crown on top of a big red X with a text fighting dictatorship together.

This is the ultimate “could have been an email” meeting.

Tweet screenshot from @alaynatreene reading:

Hegseth's surprise gathering of top military brass is expected to resemble "a pep rally" where Hegseth will underscore the importance of the "warrior ethos" & outline a new vision for the US military, multiple sources familiar w/ the planning tell @NatashaBertrand & me
He is expected to discuss new readiness, fitness and grooming standards the officers are expected to adhere to and enforce

Bad chart and simplistic view. The 2020-22 spike wasn’t AI at all, it was Russia invading Ukraine, causing natural gas prices to triple. 2022-24 was largely AI related, but also regional consolidation, oil volatility,and GOP’s coal obsession making markets wobble Here’s a better 0-based chart.

Apologies if I believe that the "grab them by the pussy" guy actually grabbed them. When a person tells you who they are, believe them. He assaults women, he dislikes minorities, and he thinks the Constitution is inconvenient. He has said all of this out loud. Repeatedly.

Yep - as I’ve said before, asking a language model to do math is misusing the technology. Don’t use a calculator for spellcheck, and don’t use a dictionary to count things. Also, seems to have learned already…

Tickets for a regular game for the Vegas Aces start at $20. The most expensive ticket is $771. Compare to a Lakers pre-season game where tickets range from just over $100 to more than $6500.

I asked the same question, and it gave me one event from last week. So there's that.

This little leg is getting mighty weak.

parody of the classic XKCD cartoon 2347, showing a whole mess of stuff precariously balanced on one small pillar. In this version, the whole mess of stuff is "THE MOST SUCCESSFUL AND POWERFUL DEMOCRACY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD" and the tiny pillar is Chief Justice John Roberts, whose court is ruining the country and the world.

The only reason to let the money guy run a TV network is because you want to sell off the TV network. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Excerpt: The cable business, which will include CNN, will be run by Gunnar Wiedenfels, the chief financial officer of Warner Bros.
Discovery.

Jimmy@jimmylittle· Jun 3

CNN leans left, for sure, but has a Mostly Factual rating. So while their reporting may have a more liberal stance, they report consistent facts. Compare to right-wing media that has mixed/low factual ratings and "questionable source" designations.

Jimmy@jimmylittle· May 19

Every other RSS reader I've used has a 3-column view - Feeds > Articles > Reading Pane. It lets me choose a source (or usually "Unread"), skim thru the article titles in column 2, then only click into the ones I want. Once I open an article in RW, the sidebar disappears and I can't skip ahead.

This is a perfect example of "Correlation does not equal causation". Fluoride exposure went up 1970-1990 at the same rate that seatbelt usage went up from 1980-2000. Does that mean seatbelts also make me dumber? Also, IQ rates have not gone down since fluoride, the whole premise is a lie.

the obvious way is to prioritize what the user typed in, then add near-matches below that. Google seems to handle it just fine. (also, I always use Google to search the Mac App Store, because it's just _better_. For some reason Apple has a fundamental misunderstanding of how search should work.

New covid.gov just dropped. This would be amazingly funny if our life wasn't actually turning into a somehow even more dystopian version of 'Idiocracy'.
