  Just found this announcement email from Venmo: "Enjoy everything you love about Ticketmaster in the Venmo app." Do they... do they not know...?

  I haven't yet extricated myself from Google, and over the years I've pretty much become a Gmail power user. But holy cow, how did I miss the "manage subscriptions" view? Super handy. https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/gmail/new-manage-subscriptions-unsubscribe/ #gmail #email

  @cohentheblue KeePassXC has made a controversial move to allow AI contributions (resulting in the forthcoming no-AI fork ChiPass.) https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/is-keepassxc-still-trustworthy-if-they-are-allowing-ai-generated-contributions/32651

  Remember doctors griping about patients self-diagnosing with Google? Today, two out of three doctors ask an AI chatbot what to do about you. Said one doctor: "It referred me to this New England Journal of Medicine paper from 2014, which, for the life of me, I could not find on Google.” (Of course he couldn't, Google is shit now.) OpenEvidence is free to use, because it's funded by drug and medical supply ads. BUT you can only use it if you're a practitioner w...

  Kind of amusing when the dumb "...99" pricing tactic -- meant to make something feel less expensive -- is so ingrained that people instinctively use it in arbitrary inflated "value" figures. "Look, this is suuuuper valuable! But not quite THAT valuable." #consumerism #money #marketing

  I'm not saying I want to live in a child-free community -- but it would be nice to live someplace that every day nice enough to open the windows isn't also an all-day neighborhood children's shrieking contest.

  I've just read the New Yorker piece on Altman and the world of billionaire AI techbro dealmakers, and I feel sick. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2026/04/13/sam-altman-may-control-our-future-can-he-be-trusted

  So many review & advice sites are nothing but AI slop -- it's worth highlighting one with a distinct human voice. I just discovered BitchesGetRiches.com -- which despite the name is not focused on being an MLM girlboss. ex.: Some timely advice in "Cosmic Truths of Cheap Grocery Shopping": https://www.bitchesgetriches.com/cheap-grocery-shopping/ And a hilarious THC-fueled panel review of Oreo alternatives in "Chocolate Sandwich Cookies Ranked": https://www.bitches...

  @SFRuminations@wandering.shop "Earth Ship & Star Song" was a favorite early read of mine. This cover art is like a familiar face. (Doesn't resemble any vessel in the book, but it's intriguing.)
