So they’re building Skynet? Cool cool cool.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

First gig of the year, let’s goooo!

Looking forward to seeing the glitch get patched.

“.. People take part in a rally on the day of a general strike to protest U.S. President Donald Trump's deployment of thousands of immigration enforcement officers on the streets of Minneapolis, Minnesota.”

the heck is this new "what's up" bar on the top of my feeds

don't we have a button for that? I don't want to post enough to be constantly reminded to share "what's up"

Oh where are the teal accents on the TrackPoint and mouse buttons from?

It was cold today.

A post from the blind app under Software Engineering Career, Meta, p9qFPw9V. Title: Stop making me justify my paycheck. Post content: I don't want a yearly performance review. I don't want to spend two hours filling out a form about my "top accomplishments" like I forgot what I worked on all year. You saw the work. You paid me. That was the agreement. I also don't want to invent five ways I should magically do more next year for the same money. If I mess up, tell me when it happens. If I'm doing fine, stop asking me to write essays about it. Let me just enjoy the holidays and leave me be!

I agree with this. Identify and address issues as they happen, not every 6 months. Name and celebrate wins as they happen too. Have a voluntary process for promotions and such.

I need this but with Moomins.

Underrated aspect of village life in the UK, classic car shows.

Bus posting.

Feels like a @nanoraptor.danamania.com creation has escaped containment.

Screenshot of a paper entry: Fictional Failures and Real-World Lessons: Ethical Speculation Through Design Fiction on Emotional Support Conversational AI Authors: Faye Kollig, Jessica Pater, Fayika Farhat Nova, Casey Fiesler (There are tabs with "abstract" and "summary" and "summary" is selected.)

The ACM Digital Library, where a LOT of computing-related research is published (I'd say at least 75% of my own publications), is now not only providing (without consent of the authors and without opt-in by readers) AI-generated summaries of papers, but they appear as the *default* over abstracts.

BIGGEST JUEVES!

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

I think the wrapped stuff has a recency bias. But maybe this gig really changed me. Top 5 😳

I guess not.

Had been listening to BEFORE in a playlist for a while and I’m only just getting around to fully listening to @kathrynjoseph11.bsky.social’s WE WERE MADE PREY. It’s a banger.

With my people 😊
