"They have no choice. They have no agency. They must comply. The future is written, these smug (and affluent) "AI" boosting graduation speakers have the audacity to tell these students. Just suck it up. Deal with it.

It's this sneering attitude, I'd argue, that is driving so much of the pushback against "AI" and against ed-tech -- it’s Cory Doctorow’s “enshittification” plus a lot of infantilization."

Good Night Fortnite

The VBucks are spent and the emotes are stilled
Leaving the plains where I constantly got grilled
Farewell to the Slurp and the legendary loot
Finally found a real grass blade to boot

I realized something really sad. The first thing I hear see in the morning is my phone. The firs thing I see in the morning is my phone. The last thing I see in the evening is my phone. The last thing I hear in the evening is, believe it or not, my phone...

Wondering how many people are like me.

The doom rectangle has really taken over, hasn't it?

One thing I do to 'touch grass' is to write in physical notebooks. How about you?

Spring is here, have you noticed it?

Mary: Have you heard the good news?

Me: Trump is dead?

Mary: No, Christ has risen.

Me: Oh. I was hoping for some NEW good news. Happy Easter!

Mary: You too. Stop watching the news. Go touch some fake grass.

#FakeTextMessage I made based on my hopes & prayers this Easter morning.

If the weather is nice, consider going outside, touch grass and read something.

This Frutiger Aero derived UI is the ultimate retro computing expression.

Many Apple users weren't here last time, so this will be new for them, and they might even enjoy it 😉🤷‍♂️

The Mac M5 will ship in translucent bondai blue plastic case or in a G4 body with the articulated monitor 🤣
