Unclear if I should unfollow people with stupid opinions on the latest fedi drama* or if it will pass and they'll go back to making good posts.
* writ generally, not just whatever it happens to be today.

Apple just announced that more iCloud storage services (including photos) can be fully encrypted. Thankfully does not appear to include the problematic client-side CSAM detection/snitching. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/12/apple-advances-user-security-with-powerful-new-data-protections/

There's no better way to disguise the fact that you're a giant asshole than to have other giant assholes who are also total loons start a crusade to wreck you.

I don't think I've ever installed anything via Snap or Flatpack and had it actually work.
Everything really needed to interact with the actual file system or other installed software, and hence shipped broken.

level 1: if a website needs to get browser permission to do something, then it's something that shouldn't be done by a website

level 4: it shouldn't be done on a website.

Hot take:
As somebody who loves computer-generated bullshit,
LLMs are not better enough than Markov chains to justify the extra resource use or implementation difficulty, & are good for exactly the same set of tasks (generating plausible sounding bullshit from a curated corpus & generating autocomplete suggestions from a curated corpus)
