Google's heuristics recently seem to be in overdrive when I tether using the same data plan I've been using for years, to the point that I often have to spend *literally 40 seconds* on a captcha to do a no-AI search in Incognito.
Something feels off when big tech LLMs are allowed to slurp everything up but I get treated like a bot. 🙄
Need to update your custom folder icons for the macOS 26 Tahoe beta? I've got you covered!
(Note that 1. folders can now appears as empty or non-empty, but 2. dark and light mode folder icons seem to be identical now.)
Making some notes about the printing press, and it occurs to me that "Johnny Goodmount" would make an excellent cowboy name. 😆
With lead in his pocket and a bible at his side, he is committed to the the justified fight for the literary empowerment of all. Just the type you need to bring reform to your town.

I'm weirdly shocked that "Slave Labor Built V-Weapons" is still up on a government website (the national museum of the US Air Force).
So many people out there are acting like the guy who did a Nazi salute at the presidential podium isn't doing everything he can to create a future that lets him coerce undocumented immigrants and other "undesirables" to build his rockets and cars.
This toot brought to you by:
• Apple adding unnecessary AI features.
• Apple (apparently) silently breaking the keyboard shortcut I was using for "Text to Siri".
• Siri straight-up lying about how to change this config, because it is apparently trained on outdated information about itself.

Oh, and also Apple silently disabling "Hey Siri" on my phone, causing me to wonder if I had just gotten *really bad* at speaking things out loud.
