Whelp. After successfully monopolizing many types of online chat, Discord has added "AI" to the basic chat feature. *Every* image attachment now has an "AI" button with features to "restyle" or "roast"(??) that image.

No user control exists:
- You can't remove it from your own UI.
- You can't remove it from posts you made.
- You can't ban it from a server you run.

In light of the awful fires and air quality in Los Angeles, I've made Breathable free and app will remain free permanently. I charged for the app prior only so I could donate the proceeds to climate change charities, but paying Apple 15% for that privilege is silly. https://breathable.app

Breathable

An air quality index widget for iOS, iPadOS, watchOS and macOS.

I just had to update my numbers for a lecture, so here's your periodic reminder: Starlink is now 55% of ALL active satellites in orbit.

And given the recent news about that awful billionaire unilaterally deciding to cut of Starlink internet access to parts of the world whenever he wants to, this is extra important to share. Why did our governments effectively gift Low Earth Orbit to one awful dude? This is so bad.
