"Apple's greatest accomplishment isn't technological, it's psychological. Apple managed to convince millions of people that buying products from a multi-trillion dollar corporation with close ties to both Trump and Xi makes them members of an oppressed religious minority, and those members of the "cult of Mac" tie themselves into knots insisting that Apple would only ever use its powers for good:" https://pluralistic.net/2026/07/25/cruel-cruelty-oh-cruelty/#digital-arm-breakers @pluralistic@mamot.fr on fire again.

@Yendolosch@23.social @billgoats@bitbang.social lol. Love her humor.

@inthehands@hachyderm.io one of our coping strategies is to actually read a physical dead trees newspaper. Importantly, not a daily newspaper, but a weekly publication. By the time that comes around, they've had some time to digest the news and filter out most of the day to day screaming and non issues. And articles tend to be better researched and more fleshed out / of durable importance.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org beautiful

@pjf the city of Zürich has an amazing service to solve this problem: you go forage to your heart's content and then bring the bounty to an expert who'll sort out the unsafe ones for free. https://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/de/gesundheit/gesundheitsschutz/pilzkontrolle.html

@runevision@mastodon.gamedev.place sweet! Is this a toy / experimentation only or are you going anywhere with it? Looks great either way!

@devlin@topspicy.social at least then they were useful and created fun in games. And dropped loot when you killed them...

@permafriday@indieweb.social @keepandroidopen@techhub.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr ... and is a strong incentive to go with a web app instead of a native one. Arguably the way the ecosystem should have evolved in the first place. So let's hope that this move will just destroy demand for native apps. (It's still a bad move that Google should be sued for)

@runevision@mastodon.gamedev.place I'd live there. Although it does seem to be a bit short on water at the moment.

@Ailantd warm

@paco @davidgerard I believe burning money by destroying actual physical currency is illegal. Now if we could only make the other kind of burning money also illegal? ...

@lisyarus@mastodon.gamedev.place missed an opportunity for a song tie-in: "it's raining men, hallelujah!"

@runevision@mastodon.gamedev.place looks gorgeous. And damn, that's some fast hiking 😜

@airadam Not my genre at all. But the lyrics hit hard.

@sinbad same. Artist in the slop factory. Blood in the machine.

@mattblaze@federate.social you do seem to be rather easy to troll and rile up 😜 fwiw, sensible people agree with your position, so maybe not engaging the trolls is the best course of action?

@k3ym0@infosec.exchange that's been my thinking about prepper culture in general. What's their scenario? Outlive everyone else by a few weeks by hiding alone in their bunker? In general, the things that make you most resilient in a disaster are the same things you need for a good life anyways. Good health. Robust relationships with family and friends. Nurture those as disaster preparedness.

@tommorris@mastodon.social "explain your reasoning in exhaustive detail" is also a popular thing to append to prompts.

@xgranade@wandering.shop where would you put text summarization / extraction in that taxonomy?
