Are you sure the package was physically routed through Toronto and it’s not just customs documents etc filed by the corporate office?

They're still playing catch-up... X Elite is okay but the M4 chips blow it and everything else out of the water. Personally, I don't want an "AI Laptop" or a "CoPilot Laptop"... I don't need even more AI generated slop. I just want what Apple is sellling: a reasonably powerful laptop with crazy good energy efficiency and quality hardware.

I mean, if Bluesky can let you create/choose custom algorithms for your feed, why can’t Mastodon?

Look at the real statistics. Everyone is using Chrome. Even among developers.

We are outliers. On Linux devices I use FF derivatives (Floorp, LibreWolf), and on macOS I’m using Orion RC.

But the idea of AI “cleaning up” my writing is dreadful.

The first and only thing I want to know about Apple Intelligence is how to turn it off.

Oh good, I’m using English (UK), so it won’t work to begin with.

This year I'm thinking of a real challenge and writing brainfuck with butterflies.

Or Rust. Rust is the way.

They spelled “wage theft” wrong.

When I lived in the UK what I felt among friends is that the BBC had a perceived bias towards the Conservative Party, although this may simply be a bias towards the government regardless of who in power. It’s been the Tories for the past decade before Starmer.

Mostly, yes. The decentralized identity system is not.

My fear with Bsky is even though it’s open source we’ll still just end up with one large VC funded company controlling the one big instance everyone uses and then enshittification begins.

There’s also Radicle

Like another commenter I’m also running Proxmox. I have a couple VMs to ensure certain services have total segregation, and otherwise usually configure systemd services from my nix flake.
