HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook review: The Pixelbook of 2023?

New to AI chatbots and want to experiment on your phone? Try three apps: Copilot, Perplexity and Pi. Each of these offers distinctly different capabilities and responses. Then install ChatGPT, which offers solid performance when used for free and best-in-class capabilities for ChatGPT Plus subscribers.

These apps are available for Android and iPhone, although not necessarily available in every country.

@fast_junkie I ended up at Namecheap, simply because the seem to support what I needed. (I didn't find them to be difficult or ad-filled... but I do use NextDNS.io to block/filter ads, so it is possible that just filters out a lot!) Still have to move several domains, but a few ported over so far smoothly.

Sometimes I think people get too focused on being "data driven". But this piece by Max Roser concisely covers why we need #data if we seek to understand the world: https://ourworldindata.org/limits-personal-experience via #TheBrowser #learning
The limits of our personal experience and the value of statistics

The world is huge; to get a clear idea of what our world is like, we have to rely on carefully collected, well-documented statistics.

The BBC's experiment with Mastodon is pathbreaking in English-language news -- a major organization setting up its own instance. They've really thought this through. Key language:

"We're using social.bbc as the domain, so you can be sure these accounts are genuinely from the BBC. And by linking to and from the BBC’s website, we have verified our identity on Mastodon."

@jonathanmatthews The first one that came to mind was Textastic, which I know works with Working Copy. Worth a look.

New AI systems could speed up our ability to create weather forecasts 

They could also help to make them more accurate.
