What was the most revolutionary technology ever invented?

The wheel.

Although, the shovel was groundbreaking.

Some people also considered the invention of the knife cutting edge.

Ouch. It seemed like Apple had made a lot of great progress on PWAs recently.

I have to assume that the team just ran out of time to implement the needed apis to allow third party PWAs, but this would certainly be the time for them to clarify their intent with developers.

Do you have a take on this @jensimmons?

In its tantrum with Europe, Apple broke web apps in iOS 17 beta, still hasn't fixed them

PWAs demoted to OWB: Operating Within Browser

Does anyone else think that BlueSky needs to add an β€œai” label to go along with NSFW, etc?

Asking people to voluntarily disclose the use of AI would have obvious drawbacks, but integrating into the platform could at least help reinforce disclosure the norm on here.

Senator Paula Simons on FB:
"An impromptu rally on Parliament Hill today, outside the building where Premier Danielle Smith is guest of honour at a reception hosted by Canada Strong and Free Network. I was invited to attend the reception. I joined the protesters instead."

Alberta's senator is a total badass.

β€œIt is not rapid-onset gender dysphoria, it’s rapid-onset parental discovery.” The panic about social contagion is dangerous and misinformed and puts transgender people at risk https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/evidence-undermines-rapid-onset-gender-dysphoria-claims/

@interstateone @brad_frost thanks checking it out!
@chartier ha ha. And cue my online (and offline!) sarcasm detector fail πŸ˜›
@interstateone @brad_frost just looking at it now. I’d definitely give it a try if you send me a code!
@markbennett @brad_frost I’ve been using Monarch for a couple months after using Mint way back, and then Tiller. There are some minor things I’d like which it doesn’t support yet but overall I’ve liked it the most, and the mobile app is pretty good. Let me know if you’re interested in a referral code, it’ll give you a longer trial period.
