Just let Texas declare its independence. Let all those people move there. Make Trump their president.
Win win.
Fuck it. They can have Florida too, kinda like how we have Alaska despite Canada being there.
Seems like it would solve a lot of problems at once. Especially since those states won't be human inhabitable in a decade anyway. Just let them have it.

Delta looks great with the iOS 18 dark icon treatment.

Excellent app icons from Delta. One looks almost like a lawsuit, but not quite.

Congratulations Apple fans. We won the smartphone wars. What do we get as a prize? Regulation and worse stuff.
Yay?

Apple's success is its biggest problem. It is so good that its next best competitor is resorting to cloning its products to gain a modicum of attention.
Regulators believe it is Apple's fault that there are no Apple competitors. So, they are going to force Apple to be worse so others can catch up. It's madness.
The issue isn't that Apple is squashing competition, it's that Apple's competition has been in a race to the bottom since 2012 and has never recovered. No one else is doing what Apple is doing in the tech space, and that's bad for Apple and its users.

Minecraft still can't be played on Apple Vision Pro and that should be against the law.

I reference a song from Barney, The Green Grass Grows All Around, during the podcast this week. I wish I had a better memory at the time, but I use it as a way to explain how LLMs work.
Now I've been on a fun Wikipedia dive on what a "cumulative song" is. And yes, it is the perfect way to explain an LLM, in which it takes everything that's been said before to produce the next line.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I'm starting to think people that claim to like the fediverse dont understand the point. We want to be able to follow Threads accounts here without having to have a Threads account. That's the whole point.
No single entity is in control of social media. That's the glory of federation.
Blocking major companies from the fediverse will be the death of the concept. Don't silo yourselves in fits of hate and segregation or you're no better than the things you claim to protest.
