PROTIPS FOR #YOUTUBE: Whenever you see a thumbnail that is obviously #AI generated, click the menu and select Don’t Recommend Channel. Do the same for videos you’re tricked into watching. And make sure to support creators by subscribing to them. #internet #howto

The Home Screen of my newly minted Surf account showing favorites for various feed collections and two custom feeds I've created for my social media accounts (Home Timeline) and a selection of some of my RSS feeds (TKNN).

Checking out the closed #Surf app beta from #Flipboard, a new “social browser” that supports #ActivityPub, #ATProto, and #RSS. It needs more work, like dark mode and desktop font sizing, but I like what I see so far. Sign up, but I don’t know how long it’ll take. #socialmedia surf.social

You know, I might just go back to #Apple #Notes if this rumor is true. Fortunately we’ll find out soon. I’d love to be able to write up notes and short stories on a whim, then export them as #markdown to drop straight into #Microblog. #apps #writing #WWDC2025 daringfireball.net/linked/20…

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: BILLIONS of stolen “cookies” are being sold on the dark web and Telegram & can contain names, addresses, passwords, and other personally identifying data and can be used to bypass multi-factor authentication. #PSA #security #internet #news it.slashdot.org/story/25/…

It seems #Apple is going to be switching software version numbering to an auto industry-style “model” year scheme. This seems smart. Their computers are often referenced by their year. But, peeps will complain, so they do. #WWDC #macOS #tech #news mjtsai.com/blog/2025…

LOLZ. Yes. Very much. #ElonMusk is not a genius. And “fake it ’til you make it” isn’t magic. He had money, made more money, and hired the right people. Big whoop. Or, as this article puts it, he’s not Tony Stark but Michael Scott #capitalism #tesla #tech www.thebulwark.com/p/elon-mu…

A comprehensive list of all of #ElonMusk’s “achievements”. After all, he is the wealthiest human on the planet, so he’s “achieved” a lot of things… right? #tech #oligarchy #uspol #DOGE #scams #vaporware #tesla #spacex #robotics #capitalism www.wired.com/story/the…

We’re not close to having functional organic computers that can host an #AGI on par with Ultron yet, but there are companies working on it. In our current social climate, this is not a good thing. #ai #tech #science #biotech www.youtube.com/watch

This is about as bullshit as it gets. Just having this article up in my news reader makes it stink in here. #ai #capitalism #tech #artistsrights #kleptocracy tech.slashdot.org/story/25/…

Heh. Them clever spooks at the #CIA. Covert ops, indeed. Too bad about the brain drain killing the “I” in their acronym, though. #spycraft #starwars #internet tech.slashdot.org/story/25/…
