"Ubuntu is drawing an ideological line in the sand that no-one has asked it to make."

People are leaving one star reviews on IMDB for The Whale on the premise that sinners deserve to suffer. These homophobes hide behind the fake guise of conservative christianity. If you want to be a c##t Sonny, don't hide behind the words of some archaic farmers, come out and say 'I'm a spiteful little c#nt with the brains of an amoeba, and an impending marriage to my cousin.' Unlike you, we don't judge. Even if you are a cu##. Scratch that, c##ts are useful.

Why you shouldn’t trust AI search engines.
Last week was the week chatbot-powered search engines were supposed to arrive. The big idea is that these AI bots would upend our experience of searching the web by generating chatty answers to our questions, instead of just returning lists of links as searches do now. Only … things really did not go according to plan.

How does #StackOverflow even function?
I have a solution to a hot and pressing #ubuntu display issue, but I'm not allowed to post it because my account is too new.
Excellent community strategy. Novel approach to attracting contributors.
Or maybe I'm just spoiled by the fantastically friendly #Drupal community...

The #macOS Ventura 13.2.1 this is what you get when you click on the "More info…” button. No release notes. Trillion-dollar company.
@lolzac @dmnelson @scriptingosx Yes, but #Apple has been slowly making good on the deprecations announced in #Catalina (2019): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-catalina-10_15-release-notes#Scripting-Language-Runtimes
• Deprecated #Python 2 in #Monterey and quietly removed #PHP (2021): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-12_0_1-release-notes#Python
• Completely removed #Python2 in Monterey 12.3 (2022): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-12_3-release-notes/#Python
• With #Ventura (2022), running `python3` prompts you to install the #Xcode Command Line Tools to get it. It's not part of the core #macOS anymore.
The writing's on the wall.
Ever been using your #Mac when a window suddenly enlarges to fill the screen? This is a designed feature of #macOS that is incredibly easy to trigger accidentally – and one that is thankfully easy to switch off too. https://tchlp.com/3Eu2H76
One positive thing about social media is that it has helped to make ex-Christians somewhat more visible. I can relate to many of their stories. It is nice to be able to find others and realize that we aren't alone. Seeing others also has a normalizing effect. Maybe some who haven't left will realize that there are other options besides staying put.
Another day in #macOS Ventura hell. This time, I followed instructions on how to rebuild the Spotlight Index. Which subsequently completely bricked Spotlight Search. This... from a trillion dollar company. It's just pathetic.
