I'm do not like either Drew Devault, Brodie Robertson or Bryan Lunduke.

All three of them are kinda shitheads really.

But honestly watching these three fight each each other based on their tastes in pornography is fucking hilarious to me.

All those people saying “I was skeptical of AI, until I tried Claude and I was amazed that it could tell me this and this and this” sound just like

“I was skeptical of psychics, but then Madame Fortuna told me something only my dead wife would know!”

Human perception has certain well-documented flaws that confidence men prey upon, and you are not immune from these

sounds like the web is about to get a lot more annoying to use for #grapheneos users and others using #android devices with """compromised integrity""", people without smartphones, people using smartphones with other operating systems, etc.: https://support.google.com/recaptcha/answer/16609652

google's new "mobile reCAPTCHA verification" will require you to scan a QR code from either an iOS device with the reCAPTCHA app or an android device with up-to-date google play services.

I was exposed to an Android 15 phone, and it was the most "damn, you live like this" experience I've ever had since the time I had to use Windows 10 after more than 15 years of desktop Linux.

I had to look "how to turn off the phone" in the help, because long press on the power button now brings up the chatbot assistant, and there's no affordance in the UI that lets me know I have two swipe the screen twice to access the quick settings.
