  • RE: https://mastodon.social/@riotnrrd/117326504572431884 Well, the stream is still going, and they appear to have attached winches to the wreck. So far, so good?

  • I very much wanted to buy an ID.buzz when it first came out, but three things killed it for me (before even getting to the price conversation): - the (lack of) range - non-opening rear windows - SWMBO threatening to divorce me https://www.theautopian.com/vw-is-delaying-the-id-buzz-return-to-the-us-until-2028-but-im-not-sure-it-can-change-enough/ #EV

  • Saturday night means Negroni and new book

  • “First, don’t interfere with user input”: this should be forcibly tattooed onto the eyeballs of #UX designers, too many of whom seem to love stealing focus, e.g. with dialog boxes, or conversely, not placing focus on the sole input that is displayed, like a search field in a pop-up. https://unsung.aresluna.org/first-dont-interfere-with-user-input/ @mwichary

  • For #AI agents to be useful, they need data — and it seems that #Muse, the new agent from Meta (Facebook), will go to just about any lengths to get access to more of users’ data. It’s just as creepy as the pervert glasses, except it points the other way. https://www.inc.com/jason-aten/meta-keeps-apologizing-for-muse-its-explanations-miss-the-point-entirely/91409363

  • Yet another reason to prefer #EVs, beyond avoiding high fuel costs and reducing pollution: electric cars turn out to be more durable than internal-combustion ones. Makes sense: there’s far less to go wrong in an EV, but battery degradation doesn’t seem to be as much of a factor as had been feared. https://electrek.co/2026/09/22/massive-uk-study-finds-high-mileage-electric-cars-more-durable-than-petrol/

  • Spending some quality time in Confluence, and the stupid Rovo "assistant" is the most intrusive one I've had the misfortune to encounter. "Press space to Ask Rovo or / to insert elements", forsooth — just get out of my way. But no, Atlassian made sure there was no per-user opt-out: it's all-or-nothing for the whole organisation. If these #AI features are so good and beloved, why are all the top matches for "confluence rovo" fr...

  • I hate that the stupid chatbots a) pretend to be people, and b) hide out in previously-useful software making it worse. Look, if you want to indulge in a spot of cosplay with your plastic pal who’s fun to be with, go wild — just don’t get anything on me, mmmkay? https://sancho.bearblog.dev/google-weird/

  • Even when I determine to chill and wait to go to the gate until boarding actually commences, I still underestimate the amount of time I will spend standing around. I could have had another coffee and copy-edited a whole other doc! #travel

  • This is the problem with #Muse and all of the other #AI personal assistants: in order to use them, we would have to rearrange our whole lives to make them legible to the machines. The payoff is that then… we could pay Meta a commission for everything we do, forever? Sorry, no sale. https://pxlnv.com/linklog/meta-muse/

  • @arthurr@h4.io j’hésite à envoyer ton post à mon voisin qui fait tout ça (tondre, débroussailler, parler en haut-parleur etc) 😅

  • @arthurr@h4.io il me faudrait un truc qui vise juste lui 🤭

  • @arthurr@h4.io voilà, parfait 👌🏼 n’empêche que j’en ai une dans Zelda!

  • Je suis au milieu du livre « Osons la colère » d’Éric La Blanche. Parfaite lecture si tu es en éco-colère et que tu veux rire (jaune) un peu. Les Brutes sont les dirigeants de multinationales, les Dévoreurs sont au pouvoir, les multinationales sont des extraterrestres qui « se fichent de la planète qui les accueille pourvu que les profits continuent ». #vendredilecture #lecture
