    I’ve taken to never auto-renewing anything. If it’s a subscription I’ll buy for a year and then immediately go in and cancel at the end of the term. There is ALWAYS a lower price or a coupon offered to re-subscribe, if not before the renewal date then within a week of it ending. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:mrjfrta3m7ihypn4w4glzlkg/post/3mrb42ssir22d

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@AnnaAnthro/116540402603591476 I&amp;#39;ve never met someone who liked using Canvas. Maybe this finally convinces some universities to move to... who am I kidding, like universities will make positive choices.

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@savetheAI/116540421933003879 This was always the obvious outcome. AI is deeply inefficient since it&amp;#39;s brute-forcing every output. Lots of folks aren&amp;#39;t seeing that, though, because AI is so deeply subsidized you&amp;#39;re only paying ~5% of the actual cost of tokens.

    Anyone else noticing the energy around AI has shifted dramatically in the last 2 weeks from big tech execs? Everyone is shifting goal-posts away from LLMs, working to remove AI from their branding and pitches. Lots of folks are distancing themselves. Feels like some shit is about to go down with a frontier model builder.

    Very disappointing to see this. Liberals again thinking the rich and big business are their friends; they aren’t. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:66lbtw2porscqpmair6mir37/post/3mlomnp5f6k2a

    Just had the sheer terror and pleasure of arriving *exactly* on time for my flight.

    Remember kids when we didn’t use water to weed the poor from the rich? How silly we were! Gotta monetize thirst. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:vdz2vuany7vmbwllh7vdw3ia/post/3mm4vo7ku2k2r

    TIL: Beehiiv has a free plan. Why on EARTH is anyone still going to the Substack Nazi bar? https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:wuvpqp73jcpi7q3wyouldbkj/post/3mm4vrheb7k2x

    I think it’s pretty clear that republican goals require most people to be poor, disenfranchised and uneducated; so they have no hope to leave their poverty or change the system that keeps them poor. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc/post/3mm4wwpvzq62r

    Universal programs are very good for a number of reasons; not the least of which is it helps anchor equality early in life. This framing is insanely toxic, don’t fall for it. https://seattletimes.com/opinion/editorials/gov-ferguson-promises-free-lunch-for-all-k-12-kids-even-those-who-can-pay/

    Another reason ALPR needs to be removed from every town and state… This is a massive overreach that was easy to see coming. https://infosec.exchange/@josephcox/116596963764801280

    Been on the tarmac at EWR (Newark) for over an hour now due to a weather ground stop… and it’s not looking like we’re moving anytime soon. Obviously it’s time to start a new book!

    RE: https://fosstodon.org/@joel/116495851451822909 Very depressing. I bet the majority of these devices have been purchased because of the hype around Crosspoint. Always a shame when businesses don&amp;#39;t give a shit about their customers. #XTEINKX4

    RE: https://mastodon.world/@somecanuckchick/116398751081264614 Please. I keep being so sad that large creators I like are moving to Substack and just reinforcing this. https://buttondown.com exists if you really want a network of support.

    A lot of companies love this idea, because it also tied their users 1:1 to real people&amp;#39;s identities for the sake of serving ads. Ad space on a site where everyone is ID checked is a lot more valuable. @index https://this.weekinsecurity.com/papers-please-age-verification-laws-threaten-everyones-online-security-and-privacy/
