Whether the new Apple Intelligence features are useful depends on who you ask. But I do greatly appreciate that inference is performed on-device. I think that’s a step in the right direction.

No thank you

Human-generated slop has been flooding Medium since forever

I’ve been using Zen Browser on macOS and Linux for a few months now. It’s a great browser experience, and I hope it gains traction. One thing it currently lacks that I’d like to see is a tab group feature like Chrome.

I thought it was going to be the Chinese lady who recorded, “the Bluetooth device is ready to pair” 😂

“The day God intervened” is crazy. I’m not religious, and clearly neither is Trump. Straight up blasphemy…

Finally! I’ve always been enamored with Swift, but Linux compatibility has been a consistent pain point. Can’t wait to give it a try

Terrifying

I’m going to give it a try :)

“Found”

Interesting. Scary.

So cute! The roast site made me laugh, but this is wholesome. The world needs both ;)

I highly recommend “Essentials of Compilation” by Jeremy Siek, which explores the same nano-pass approach using both Python and Racket. His course is easily one of my favorites.

I don’t fully understand, but boy is that graph pretty B)

I am not Chinese nor do I claim to be an expert on Chinese culture. That said, my cousin married a woman from China a few years ago and the family insisted upon a traditional wedding. This involved the gifting of bedding, teas, and a dowry.

Recently, I read a historical fiction novel called “Lady Tan’s Circle of Women” that went over a lot of the traditional Chinese wedding traditions, many of which I can only assume are still in practice in some form. Definitely recommend if you’re interested in history, Chinese culture, or feminism.

Jail 😂😂😂

As an alternative, I suggest ListenBrainz. It is like last.fm, where you install a “scrobbler” to monitor your listening, and then it provides platform-agnostic recommendations.

I never stopped using my iPod Nano 6G. Instead of switching to streaming, I continued to grow my collection of music from purchasing or renting and ripping CDs. I still have yet to listen to every song in my library (although everything fits on my iPod after compressing), so it is hard to justify paying for streaming
