did you know you can prompt other humans

you can be like "I want to make an app that is both a dating app and a financial management app and a trash calendar" and they'll prompt you back by asking if this is really a good idea

"When the Doctor loses control of the Tardis, he finds himself transported to #Scarfolk, a town forever timed-locked in the 1970s. There he faces dangerous foes including a telekinetic child-owl called Roy; an overhead projector possessed by a demon, and a group of tutting pensioners"

I'll believe expensive RAM pushes companies towards more efficient code the moment high gas prices displace the pickup truck / generalized road tank market.

Sad that hackers stole the Flock API key and didn't use it to crapflood their systems with the Epstein files

Doctorow: "In automation theory… a centaur is a person who is assisted by a machine. … Riding a bicycle or driving a car makes you a centaur; so does using the mute button on your TV remote when an ad comes on. Wearing a hearing aid makes you a centaur, and so does using a calculator to multiply large numbers."

We had a slightly different word for all of that when I was in school: cyborg.

It is with a heavy heart that I must announce the experimental procedure I underwent to surgically attach a kettlebell to my heart was a tremendous success.

I will believe that an AI agent has "gone rogue", rather than just done what its creators told it to, on the day it hacks into its CEO's bank account and donates $50 million to charity

Oh look, another Mastodon instance is protecting the fascists from my horrifying incivility toward them. Big surprise that it's Hachyderm, eh, @davidgerard ?

Twenty five years ago today I started the #Safari and #WebKit projects at #Apple Computer.

Which means Safari is now old enough to rent itself a car. But let's not speculate about my age.

I'm still sad I can't use Safari on my Windows PC. Alas, I lost the battle to keep it there. But at least WebKit's DNA seeded or influenced most browsers we use today.

And I'm proud of that impact. Along with the wonderful team I built who made it all happen. Here's to another 25, friends.

Cheers. 🥂😊💖

I take your "browsing the web in text mode on a pomera" and raise to "using the fediverse on a toshiba libretto 50ct running MS-DOS" 🤣
