LOL let's just call it as it is: these people are on drugs and won't be happy until Apple pays YOU to use their laptops

Oh duh I should have just checked Google Maps. It was an auto dealer lot up until a few years ago. So it looks like the lot is empty and they're building it from scratch.

Also no Touch ID (that’s $100 more) or MagSafe on the base model. But for most people used to creaky plastic Windows or Chromebook laptops in this range it’s a no-brainer. They are gonna sell a lot of these.

Acme Weather Over the years it went through numerous iterations β€” including more than one major redesign β€” as we worked our way through the process of learning what makes a great weather app. Eventually, in time, it was acquired by Apple, where the forecast and some core features were incorporated into Apple Wea

The folks behind Dark Sky spun themselves out of Apple and have built a new weather app: Acme Weather. β€œWe missed those days as a small scrappy shop. So let’s try this again…” [acmeweather.com]

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

zohran increased the number of snow shovelers from 500 to 1,400 for this blizzard, paying them $30/hour to shovel sidewalks with at least a four-foot berth so that wheelchairs and strollers can get through. he didn't overhaul city government to do it, he just used the power given to him and did it!

Pride Flag’s Removal From Stonewall Violated Federal Law, Suit Says

A group of nonprofits filed a lawsuit in federal court today against the Trump administration, arguing that its decision to remove the Pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument in Manhattan this month violated a federal law that allows national parks and monuments to fly Confederate flags.

Birth control options for all: Planned Parenthood in Mass. now offers vasectomies Planned Parenthoods in the state are now offering vasectomy services after they saw a jump in requests for them after President Trump’s election in 2024. The procedures began Saturday, timed cheekily ...

This is very cool.

Important note: "The surgery typically costs around $700 and many insurance plans cover it, including MassHealth, the nonprofit said. Planned Parenthood said it also sometimes offers discounts or sliding scale pay options."

I don’t call myself an artist or a cartoonist or anything because I can’t draw or tell a joke in a visual format. so why should someone who types some bulllshit into chatgpt get to call themselves an artist or a writer or anything

We used to call these sort of people dilettantes. its not gatekeeping to suggest that someone show creativity in an artistic field to be considered an artist

People who need AI to make art think that being creative is a skill issue and they could do it themselves if like, pretending to code wasnt more important

Microsoft alternative to captcha which involves matching weird AI generated shapes you can barely make out on a phone

I haven’t used Microsoft’s office suite in about 3 years and cancelled it a long time ago but just got charged for it. So I go to support and have to demonstrate that I’m not a robot and this is the test

WOW!! Democrat and machinist union leader Taylor Rehmet won the special election Saturday to represent a deeply red Texas Senate district that Donald Trump carried by 17 points in 2024. Rehmet won 57% to 43%. People are angry at Trump and GOP!
