Apple wanted to be the first to unbox MacBook Neo, I guess 😛
Cool AI experience this morning: I had to turn photo of a print-out with a bunch of appointments into calendar entries. Asked ChatGPT to turn it into an ICS file. Worked beautifully.
When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Oh, sweet Jesus, iOS mail now defaults to pasting using the style of the source you copied. Is there no mercy from this endless fucking scourge? It’s the dumbest most awful possible default I can imagine. Why why why!!!!

It also doesn’t seem to have a “paste and just use the style in the destination document”, and I’m not going to piss about with non semantic style fiddling on a sodding touch screen.

This was just beautiful.

The Breathing Light

This was one of the details that made me feel drawn to the platform ever since I first saw it in a 12" PowerBook in the early 2000s. Not only the pulsing, but also the fact that at some point the light disappeared behind the aluminum once it wasn’t needed anymore – only there when it had to indicate something. This was just beautiful. I had now idea that it also synced between devices:

It's been 0 days since I got a new product with a 30-pin connector.

Yo, real talk—what the fuck are we gonna do when the internet gets shut off?

We've seen it in #Gaza, in #Iran, and when Elon “I-play-God” Musk blacked out Starlink in Ukraine. Every time shit gets heavy, the state or some oligarch clown just pulls the plug. It ain’t just a glitch—it’s strategic, it’s repression, and it’s a fucking reminder that most of our comms infrastructure is in the hands of fascists, corporations, or both.

I’ve been working with indigenous comrades who rely on #Starlink to stay connected in remote areas. And yeah, it’s wild that you can be deep in the bush and still shitpost from a mountaintop—but that signal still runs through a pipeline owned by a Nazi tech bro.

We need to be talking more about mesh networks, autonomous infrastructure, all that good shit that anarchist tech nerds have been yelling about for years. Decentralized, resilient, community-controlled comms aren’t just cool—they’re necessary for survival.

Let’s keep this convo alive and start building the lifelines before the next blackout. Shit’s coming fast.

Activists are Designing Mesh Networks to Deploy During Civil Unrest

The Mycelium Mesh Project is testing DIY networks that can be quickly deployed on trees or lamp posts during a political uprising.
