arguing with chatgpt about when it's ok to use back of the envelope approximation and realizing what it must be like to talk to any physicist about anything ever, and wow im sorry everyone

This is my all-time favorite image on the internet

i am so ready for quantum to be the next dumb buzzword the tech industry forces everyone to pretend to care about. "how are you incorporating quantum into your daily work?" i'm not but it's so refreshing you asked me a new and different stupid question

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I made a zine about quantum gates and distributed it at @unitary.foundation's unitaryCON this two weeks ago. check it out :) and lemme know what you think nates.place/static/ng01....

Real talk, very, very few of my friends are still on Twitter, but the ones that are are only there because Twitter lets you have a private account. I think it’s the one thing Bluesky should really fasttrack.

i need bluesky to either get really cool right now or i need a private account

I need to be able to make my account private. Cmon bluesky

10. It's asinine that Bluesky still lacks some BASIC features of Twitter. Sending images via DM, being about to put your account on private being the big 2.

bluesky im begging you to let me have a private account this is the one thing you can do to singlehandedly destroy twitter forever please just do it

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

This is about the only thing right now that could convince me to wear AR glasses

“We found this individual possessed a second, far more lethal string of words locked and loaded, and I’m terrified to think how the situation would have shaken out if he’d been able to say even one of them aloud,” said Kristi Noem theonion.com/kristi-...

I wrote a short post about why I'm now leaving my phone at home, and why I think you can/should too! samantha.wiki/leave-your-p...

I recently got an iPad with cell-service, with the intent of leaving my phone at home more. It's worked out wonderfully so far! I can still use the iPad if I need to, but the awkwardness of getting it out of my bag prevents me from idly fiddling with it all the time.

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

There’s a vast difference between decentralization of power and decentralization of compute, @molly.wiki told EFF’s Cindy Cohn and @thejasonkelley.com on the latest episode of “How to Fix the Internet.”

I am already trying to figure out how to get rid of my phone entirely. So no thank you, I will not be interacting with the SlopPod.

@dollyrebecca.bsky.social is fake, do not besmirch our true queen @realdollyparton.bsky.social 😤😤😤

i’ve been wanting to get a tattoo for awhile now, and this project by @samantha.wiki might be just the inspiration i needed… a QR code tattoo that you can easily redirect to any URL (even time/location based changes to the redirect) samantha.wiki/projects/qr-...

New from 404 Media: the Signal clone the Trump administration uses was just hacked. TeleMessage makes a modified version of Signal that archives messages for government agencies, Waltz used it. A hacker got some users' messages, group chats. Hugely significant breach www.404media.co/the-signal-c...

SO federated rn

People say "decentralised" when in fact they mean "democratic." You don't at all build the same democratic institutions to manage water, report the news, deliver justice, or run a gardening club. That's a good thing.

I just canceled @samantha.wiki using the new cancellation system. Try canceling someone yourself using @cred.blue's canceler tool: cred.blue/canceler

i think it's time to get "hospitalized" for "exhaustion"

THREAD The Wonderful World of Wikipedia (WWW) If you are of a certain age, Wikipedia has been a constant in your life. It was not always so. Here is a pre-history, a history and potential future of the world's great shared book that we all read and write. Also why is it called "Wikipedia"? 1/30

I was tired of listening to ads in podcasts, so I made this! This morning all my podcasts were ad free, much more pleasant.

I'm the worst host in NYC, according to @qzoeholmes.bsky.social but the Thai food/cocktails aren't bad!
