Been switching to Codeberg because it's nice but increasingly looking like I soon will HAVE to abandon Github, because the entire interface will soon be just one giant maze where at each intersection one path leads to the feature you wanted and the other path is Copilot

Github's home page (when logged in) gave me a button that says "My open pull requests". Not only is this a scripted button that cannot be opened in a new window. The button does not lead to a page that lists your open pull requests. It activates a free Copilot plan and asks copilot: "Hi Copilot! Can you please find my open pull requests?", upon which Copilot thinks really hard and lists at least some of my open pull requests.

Police nationwide are embracing a new first responder: Drones

Police tout the “Drone as First Responder” technology as life-saving for officers and community members, while critics raise surveillance and privacy concerns.

In 1981, Shel Silverstein saw AI coming.

Seen on Bluesky:

Guy explains to CEO of Signal (messaging) that it's going to add "AI" to the service. She says no. He insists, not knowing or caring who he's talking down to.

You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain ...

We live in the dumbest timeline (and possibly the most dangerous).

The United States Department of Health and Human Services just informed employees they need not respond to the email demanding they share their weekly accomplishments. However, if they do respond, HHS tells them “Assume that what you write will be read by malign foreign actors.”
