Turtledove: however
Turtledove: this timeline is the dumbest

dear east coast people: we of the west coast feel your smoke pain
- go to Lowe’s
- buy a 20” box fan
- buy 4x20”x30” Filterete 1900 filters (the blue ones (20” is the important measurement))
- buy wide painters tape (blue matches nicely)
- make a box out of the filters (arrows pointing in)
- tape the box fan to the top of the filter box, air blowing upward
- tape the corners of the fan grill so you don’t get backflow — stick a piece of paper over the corners and it’ll be obvious

Apple added #DX12 support to macOS and Apple Silicon via its Game Porting Toolkit. It’s basically a 20k patch to Wine that will make it easy to play AAA Windows games on macOS without using a VM. https://github.com/apple/homebrew-apple
Side rant: it is utterly stupid that Safari on the mac has no setting to always open bookmarks in a new tab. I never, ever, in any circumstance want it to replace the current page - but that's precisely what it does, and apparently cannot be changed. I can middle-click - ugh - or Command-Click - to get it to open in a new tab. So - it's very possible. It's just not a setting, and I see people asking since 2010. That's over a decade of Apple being the new Sun and deciding what it will or won't allow our pretty little heads to do. Very good apple - it took me LESS THAN A DAY after switching from Firefox (because reasons - firefox default security breaks too much stuff) to become disgusted and annoyed and swap default back to firefox. That's a record!

omg this has just blown my mind in the most incredible way: #ASL (and, I assume, other sign languages) are evolving before our very eyes into one-handed languages, because of the rise of smartphones and video calling. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJxangXQ/

There's yet another "AI will kill us all! It poses a risk of extinction!" letter going around, and I just… Y'all i am just so fucking tired.
CAPITALISM poses risk of extinction (climate change, right the fuck now).
WHITE SUPREMACY poses risk of extinction (genocide, eugenics).
HEGEMONY poses risk of extinction (nuclear FUCKING WAR).
And whatever "risk of extinction" "AI" poses, it poses because it is BUILT FROM THOSE EXTREMELY HUMAN VALUES.
Even if you stopped every "AI" project running, RIGHT THIS SECOND, those values would still kill us. And no matter how long you "pause" your "AI" projects, if you don't address those values? Then when you start your "AI" back up? You'll KEEP BUILDING THOSE SAME VALUES IN.
This is not hard. At this point, as much as it pains me to say it, it's not even novel. And yet you're still not fucking getting it.
I'm so goddam tired.
