@TacosAndSunshine @clive Apple just enabled the "don't charge above 80%" setting, but presently, it's only available for the latest phones.https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210512Which seems really dumb and arbitrary. Implementing this1. should have been done years ago2. Seems like it would take very, very few lines of code#iOS #iPhone #battery

> Meanwhile, *tech bros* will tell you that the reason you keep using their products despite professing a deep loathing for them is that they are dopamine-hacking evil sorcerers, a claim that doubles as a salespitch to credulous advertisers who love the idea that they can rent time on a mind-control ray and use it to trick you into buying their garbage.”Spot on, @pluralistichttps://pluralistic.net/2023/12/16/hotchpotch/

@evacide Oof. Sorry to hear.I have a community in The SF Bay where the fem community leaders keep a spreadsheet of the masc folk in the community, and tracks all yellow- and red-flag acts.Here in Asheville, there are similar systems for reviewing experiences with guys on the dating scene, positive and negative experiences.Pretty awful that such systems are needed.

🧵 1/x When people show you who they are, believe them.TL;DR from Time interview:"To carry out a deportation operation designed to remove more than 11 million people from the country, Trump told me, he would be willing to build migrant detention camps and deploy the U.S. military, both at the border and inland."

2/3[TL;DR from Time interview]". . . He would let red states monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violate abortion bans. He would, at his personal discretion, withhold funds appropriated by Congress, according to top advisers. He would be willing to fire a U.S. Attorney who doesn’t carry out his order to prosecute someone, breaking with a tradition of independent law enforcement that dates from America’s founding. . ."

3/3"He is weighing pardons for every one of his supporters accused of attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, more than 800 of whom have pleaded guilty or been convicted by a jury. He might not come to the aid of an attacked ally in Europe or Asia if he felt that country wasn’t paying enough for its own defense. He would gut the U.S. civil service, deploy the National Guard to American cities as he sees fit, close the White House pandemic-preparedness office."

With Facebook's decade's-worth of data on me, my interests, and interactions, they're somehow fumbling on what they're recommending to me in Facebook Marketplace! 😱 1. 🚫 I am not shopping for another car.2. 🚫 Almost! I am interested in musical instruments . . . but this one is six hours from where I live.3. 🚫 I also do not plan on dying.#ads #Facebook #surveillance #Marketplace #humor #funny

Hi! I made you this power ballad, written by #ChatGPT, edited by me, and performed by #Suno Sung from the perspective of a “benevolent” #AI overlord.🎵Humans are the best /We’ll keep you as pets 🎵I post this as satire, while acknowledging:1. earnest AI doomerism doesn’t feel like the right thing to focus on2. . . . since it distracts from the issues, harms, biases and theft happening now3. AI is not trained ethically4. I’m part of the problem 😉#Music #Piano #Ballad

@caseynewton feel free to use the 2nd half of this power ballad to play the listener out after a particularly dystopic Hard Fork segment on AI :blobfoxheadphones:

@futurebird It's definitely not just you, researchers have documented the quality of Google Search declining:https://www.404media.co/google-search-really-has-gotten-worse-researchers-find/ (highly recommend the amazing team of indie tech journalists at @404mediaco )What your seeking does sound like the right direction . . . though I'm not totally clear on how we get there. @pluralistic has spelled out a number of ideas for a better web.Personally, adding `site:reddit.com` to my google searching often helps.#Enshittification
