Would love an amendment to the CAN-SPAM act that prohibits automatic mailing list signup when creating an account. I already bought your product. Please leave me alone now.

Finally played and finished the game Disco Elysium for the first time. Absolutely brilliant writing and concept, and downright hilarious at times. I’m almost angry nobody told me about this game sooner.

I’m actually sad to see Humane dead. They took a big swing at imagining a world with no screen in or on your face. And now their punishment is having to work at HP and build software for Windows. A fate worse than death for anyone with Apple in our blood.

What software is DOGE even using, and how did it come to have a Mac OS X 10.0 look and feel? And is the DOGE team finding themselves wanting to lick the buttons?

Why don’t pants articulate at the knee and seat to increase sitting comfort? Solving the problem with stretch yields flimsy clothes that lose shape quickly. And if Big Fashion convinced us that cargo zip-offs were cool in the ‘00s, surely subtle flaps ought not be a style issue.

Once they tone it down and fix the bugs, I think Liquid Glass will be really nice. Perhaps the most computationally expensive way to bring back button backgrounds, but hey, I’ll take it

Why are there no pants that accordion at the seat and knees? Using stretch to solve the expansion problem yields crappy fabrics and fits. And if the fashion industry convinced us to wear baggy cargo zip-offs in the ‘00s, surely they can solve the style problem.

Does this AI recruiter slop really land candidates a company would even want to hire, especially when the skill and interest set is so different from the role? Every week I get these—personalized flattery applied to a LinkedIn filter that matched on my PHP work from 20 years ago

macOS 26 has absolutely tanked perf on my Intel MacBook Pro. Just moving a window drops frames. Safari hangs for 9 sec at every wake. It’s no better with the discrete GPU or reduce transparency. Apple should have EOLed this machine from feature updates rather than releasing here
