@jalefkowit Really cool, will be awesome for highways, and it opens up exciting possibilities scaled up to trucks and planes... but it makes way more sense to just have charging where there's parking, using normal (existing) power infrastructure. I very much doubt there'd ever be enough ultra-voltage stations like this to be a practical day-to-day solution.
@jalefkowit I've dealt with the indexing in their search console myself, and can confirm it is spectacularly hostile to its users. But I think the issue is more a lack of transparency, then a genuine lack of responsiveness. It takes weeks to *show *you changes, but it might have actually made those changes right away. Or it will *never *update, for some ridiculous reason that is extremely difficult to diagnose.
@exchgr @gilgwath Oh, we have the same one! I just replaced the battery last weekend to extend its longevity. I have never once been tempted to "upgrade" it.

@exchgr *Motherf... *me too. Thought I'd be spared because I've had "Apple Intelligence" toggled off since day 1, but there it is, taking up 7.99 GB of my iPad.

I'm feeling very validated that I haven't upgraded to a newer iPhone (on 14). The only way to escape this garbage is with hardware that's incapable of supporting it.

@derpyforcongress.bsky.social @davidgerard The only thing people can think to do with AI tools is make more AI tools. A circle jerk spinning so furiously it drills its way into the ground.
@davidgerard Finally saw Ghost in the Machine yesterday, and there's a very apt Joe Rogan excerpt. Made me vomit in my mouth.

@GossiTheDog jfc, if you're reddit it has to be a 5-alarm fire to shut this down (but knowing how awful they are, they might just be happy to profit off selling API access to the bot-injectors).

I've personally cooled on reddit, because I have problems dealing with the humans on it, but the value of the site is unquestionably the humans on it. Any quantity of bots pretending to be humans is piss in the pool, it ruins the whole thing.

@ajroach42 I webdev an ecommerce site, and can appreciate what a difficult position you're in. I started out with an open source framework, but fairly quickly branched off it and started building stuff from scratch. That introduces all kinds of headaches, but it is really liberating to be able to do whatever you want, without constraints around "what plugins are available/free", or "what's compatible". Starting with something open source is the most critical thing, rightly #1 on your list.
@foone I could fill a book with everything I hate about "don't be left behind" as pressure to use a technology, but this is the best point. Even with the most incredible, transformative technologies, space persists for people who don't want to use it. Email is cool, but it's 2026 and they still deliver paper letters. Word processors are handy, but they still sell pens. Christopher Nolan isn't exactly "left behind" shooting on film.
