  RE: https://mastodon.social/@sjvn/116965490229311725 I subscribed to PCMag as a kid using birthday money. John C Dvorak’s column was the first page I read in every issue. In my Apple “Switch” commercial, I said, “I used to bash Macs, but that was more a move out of ignorance.” That ignorance was me parroting John C Dvorak’s quips.

  It’s 18:46 and 23℃ in Seattle. My husband and I are am enjoying a Manhattan cocktail in the outdoor lounge of the Marriott Waterfront in Seattle. We just watched the cutest bunny happily hop down the sidewalk and into dense tree lawn hedges. A jam band near the US Cincinnati combat ship celebrating something about ’merica echos down the street. Seagulls caw in the distance. #Seattle

  RE: https://techhub.social/@Techmeme/116968810163275019 Most people do not want more Meta or more AI in their lives. This isn’t a brand positioning problem. It’s decades of Meta’s consistent behavior making the world a worse place with every product it introduced.

  Today I woke up from laughing in a dream about President Trump confusing the book of Deuteronomy in the Bible with “Due to Ron Jeremy”.

  Covid caught me in the US. I would be mad about it, but I’m just too tired to do or feel anything.

  As a teen, I wore a WWJD? (What would Jesus do?) bracelet on my wrist. As an adult, I wear a WWEWFF? (Who would Elizabeth Warren fight for?) bracelet on my heart. #USPol #WWEWFF

  Lady Grey tea is like if Earl Grey took a proper shower instead of dousing himself in Axe Body Spray after gym class.

  My mother didn’t live to turn 64 today, but the best combo birthday and Mother’s Day gift she could have gotten would have been seeing the amazing mother my sister is to my nephews. #MothersDay

  🙄 @lobsters removed my submission of Killed by Apple as being off-topic even though I checked beforehand and it permitted Killed by Google 6 years ago. Both are interesting computer history. https://killedbyapple.theden.sh/?ref=activitypub https://lobste.rs/s/8yumgi/killed_by_google #computerHistory

  RE: https://interledger.social/@fintech_news/116580881036068451 I think this actually is a great use case for local ML AI. There is no reason to use motherEarthFucking cloud AI for this.

  I ordered food after tonight’s concert. I went to meet the delivery guy outside the hotel lobby. As I stepped onto the sidewalk, a bicyclist slammed into me. We both went flying. I got the wind knocked out of me and several bruises. The cyclist helped me up and then rode off. I was dazed, took the food from the driver who seemed just as shocked as a witness, and limped back to my room. Took me several minutes to realize what had happened. The meter in front of the hotel isn’t a bike lane. WTF

  `mise` is a dev environment management tool that Just Works™ when switching between projects and programming languages. I appreciate not needing to remember JavaScript/Python/Ruby-specific dev environment manager commands. Its creator and lead developer announced he’s going full-time on open source, so I am supporting his work with an annual donation. https://jdx.dev/posts/2026-04-17-going-full-time-on-open-source/?ref=activitypub #FOSSFunding

  I submitted an entry to the 2026 Fight for Kindness typographic poster exhibition for the observance of World Kindness Day on November 13. The theme of “kindness towards oneself” was perfect for a quote from my friend Karin that has lived rent-free in my head for over a year. https://www.jeremiahlee.com/posts/karins-imperative/?ref=activitypub #art #FightForKindness #WorldKindnessDay

  RE: https://social.edps.europa.eu/@EDPS/116475612794637300 GDPR was the first EU regulation I ever read start to finish. I was working as the product manager for Fitbit’s API. As a software engineer, I found GDPR far more accessible than US regulations and private contracts. I understood its expectations, even though I did not yet know the implementation path to meet them. GDPR gave me the internal leverage I needed to get data hygiene, data export, and security practices work I wanted prioriti...
