Reason #42 for open platforms: to shut down every politician’s incessant demands to all gatekeepers to censor all of their political opponents," Sweeney wrote in a first tweet responding to MacRumors’ report of US politicians requesting that Apple and Google remove X and Grok from their app stores.
Politicians want the offending apps removed from the app stores, and Sweeney thinks app store business is his business. He really ought to worry more about improving his own store.
Users: File search should not be this bad
Microsoft: How about this bad?
This renaming happened for the Office app a while back, but now they’ve applied it to Office itself? It is April 1st already?
Valve can’t even count to 3 and it makes plenty of money.
The hack affects all Condé Nast entities as well
It doesn’t affect Ars Technica:
The hacker also says that they will release an additional 40 million records for other Condé Nast properties, including our other sister publications Vogue, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, and more. Of critical note to our readers, Ars Technica was not affected as we run on our own bespoke tech stack.
NetNewsWire doesn’t have its own accounts, but it can still sync your read items through iCloud.
Pretty sure Apple’s newer phones are USB-C worldwide. I doubt they’re leaving countries that don’t require it stuck with old models.
From the article:
The latest kerfuffle will only be seen by Enterprise users running Windows 11 24H2 or 25H2 who have a July 2025 cumulative update installed as well.
Are you running Windows 11 Enterprise?
They’re already getting sued over ChatGPT helping people commit suicide. Imagine the uproar once the advice comes with ads for rope, knives, etc…
“Our deepest sympathies are with the Raine family for their unimaginable loss,” OpenAI said in its blog, while its filing acknowledged, “Adam Raine’s death is a tragedy.” But “at the same time,” it’s essential to consider all the available context, OpenAI’s filing said, including that OpenAI has a mission to build AI that “benefits all of humanity” and is supposedly a pioneer in chatbot safety.
How the fuck is OpenAI’s mission relevant to the case? Are suggesting that their mission is worth a few deaths?
Why the Civil Rights Movement, other than the immediately obvious reason? It brings things full circle with Uhura and her first actor, the late Nichelle Nichols, who initially planned on leaving the original Star Trek after a single season. It was a discussion with Martin Luther King, Jr. that changed her mind; as a fan of the show, he called her “our image of where we’re going. You’re 300 years from now, and that means that’s where we are and it takes place now. Keep doing what you’re doing, you are our inspiration.” And when she told him about her plans to leave, he told her, “You don’t have a black role. You have an equal role.”
TIL MLK convinced Nichelle Nichols to stay on TOS.
They have a pro version that adds AI features, no idea the pricing yet though.
The aricle says the AI stuff is tied to Canva’s Premium subscription, which is 120 USD/year:

Maybe if the robots get damaged at the same rate their workers get injured they’ll get more interested in safety.
Their web page doesn’t really mention self-hosting, but there’s github link way down at the bottom and that has self-hosting instructions.
These numbers don’t make any sense to me, as the hed is about buying lots of chips, and the body is about power use. No matter how you slice it, $8.76/kWh is a terrible fucking investment … if that’s chip-inclusive, that’s another story.
Data center scale is usually given in terms of power consumption, not computing power. The trillion dollars is meant to buy enough hardware to suck up 20GW of power, and probably none of the money will go towards power generation.
It’s just a one-off transfer, I’m not planning to stop the transfer, and it’s my media library, so nothing should change, but I figured something resumable is a good idea for a transfer that’s going to take 12+ hours, in case there’s an unplanned stop.
I was planning to use rsync to ship several TB of stuff from my old NAS to my new one soon. Since we’re already talking about rsync, I guess I may as well ask if this is right way to go?
- On the Xbox home screen, go to “My Games and Apps.”
- Then, go to “Apps,” “Settings,” “General,” and “Personalization.”

It’s too hard to tell real CSAM from AI-generated CSAM. Safest to treat it all as CSAM.
