“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

I've gotten spam/scam messages impersonating Apple themselves with no substantive way to report it. I'm surprised Apple doesn't already do filtering like this. I think this is a great change.

Behind the complaints: Our investigation into the suspicious pressure on Archive.today Some time ago, we were contacted by a group fighting against online CSAM, demanding that AdGuard DNS blocks the Archive.today website. This was only the beginning of a much larger story…

The article: adguard-dns.io/en/blog/arch... (talking about archive.is).

Also, if anyone has a Lobsters invite 👀

Reading yet another article on users able to host illicit content on public website and the challenges of moderating content, and all I can think of is how Bluesky's original and lobste.rs permanent invite system solves all those problems significantly. Websites should be invite-only by default.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking

CROCKETT: When I say that you are the least qualified FBI director in the history of the FBI, that is real, because you are the only one that never even served with the FBI

PATEL: That's false

TIL! I suppose I can retroactively preface earlier comments with: unique among more popular languages. Go is certainly unique when compared to: C#, Python, JS, Rust, Swift, Java, C/C++, and the like. IME Clojure, Elixir, Scheme are all very valid and noteworthy langs but less widely discussed/used.

I'd also argue that Go's resistance to add every language feature and shiny new thing is a feature in itself. It prides stability and function over features. Compared to C#, Rust, Swift, JavaScript/TypeScript and the like, it feels like a breath of fresh air to me.

Native concurrency using green threads and channels over mutexes and semaphores, and from the get go at that (not tacking on async/await after v1 as an after thought like many others). And duck typing over OOP and inheritance. Not entirely unique but it strays from the average.

That's why I applaud Go for straying from the norm to solve problems with unique solutions.

You can drag the address bar up and it animates into the tabs. Not intuitive until you stumble upon it, but it's quick at least and not two taps.

It's difficult to be in a good mood on the eve of total dictatorship :/

The hidden time bomb in the tax code that's fueling mass tech layoffs A decades-old tax rule helped build America's tech economy. A quiet change under Trump helped dismantle it

Annoyed that this wasn't disseminated more during the time of all of those layoffs. I had no idea until today that the layoffs were fueled in part by a change in tax code in 2017. qz.com/tech-layoffs...

It sounds like that's basically what the judge is demanding. This article does a terrible job at framing the story. It should emphasize more that the initial flight took place after the judge already disallowed it from happening. It's giving too much voice to ICE and their illogical statements.

[ On | No ] syntactic support for error handling - The Go Programming Language Go team plans around error handling support

I always respect and appreciate Go's tendency to not add anything and everything into the language with a more strict proposal process. I love Swift, but it's very much becoming C++ with the many ways of doing the same thing and a lot of syntactic sugar. <3 Go go.dev/blog/error-s...

hats off to a true MVP this month

Go is simply the best 😌

#coachella organizers need to be fired. Over three hours in traffic to park because their greed outweighs just providing free shuttle service for everybody. Fix your road signs, fix your intersections, and maybe consider using your app notifications properly for this hell.

More journalists need to talk about this the way Japanese articles do
