The Trumpster Fire is a national disaster, national security threat, and national shame in the form of a desiccated Twinkie with a creamy racist filling! npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K.

Nothing Checking out the closed #Surf app beta from #Flipboard, a new “social browser” that supports #ActivityPub, #ATProto, and #RSS. It needs more work, like dark mode and desktop font sizing, but I like what I see so far. Sign up, but I don’t know how long it’ll take. #socialmedia https://surf.social/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing It seems #Apple is going to be switching software version numbering to an auto industry-style “model” year scheme. This seems smart. Their computers are often referenced by their year. But, peeps will complain, so they do. #WWDC #macOS #tech #news https://mjtsai.com/blog/2025/05/29/apple-operating-system-version-years/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing A friend of mine just sent me a link to Brent Spiner’s comedy series on YouTube called Fresh Hell, and I NEED to share it!

Too bad about the brain drain killing the “I” in their acronym, though. #spycraft #starwars #internet https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/05/26/2238214/the-cia-secretly-ran-a-star-wars-fan-site npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing It is really, really hard to start a YouTube channel these days. There are so many creators who’ve been around for years and have established viewerships. @nprofile…pecq is a new creator and he makes great retro #Apple videos. Give him some love! #retrocomputing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzUDOkmi-1Y npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing I don’t think I can say it better or more succinctly than Mr. Lawrence Ware. I’ll add that the carefully coded hate speech from #TFG and his #KKK sycophants on TV every day from the Whitest House has been adding nuclear fuel to the fire. Criminals. #FuckRacism #uspol https://www.theroot.com/why-things-have-only-gotten-worse-for-black-folks-in-th-1851782348 npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K.

Nothing I believe Spice Frontier is one of the more unique spins on #SciFi that I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen most of it! Combine the idea of food as a tool for diplomacy with exciting space exploration and you get this! Impressive work from all departments! #animation #pilot #TV https://youtu.be/SeAqnHywrx8 npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing So… are those really going to be the doors on a taxi? A two-seat taxi? This is as much a taxi as #ElonMusk’s #Tesla sewers is mass transit. Does it really take so little for the “masses” to think you’re a genius? #idiocracy #SIASD #tech https://www.jalopnik.com/1865786/elon-musk-tesla-robotaxi-starts-next-month/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the loss of #TV icon George Wendt, known worldwide as Norm Peterson from #Cheers. Kottke posted this supercut of every time Norm walked into the bar. Pure gold way to celebrate pure gold. #obits #GeorgeWendt #TooSoon https://kottke.org/25/05/supercut-of-every-time-norm-enters-the-bar-on-cheers npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K.

Nothing The Canadian #ProgRock band #Rush has been one of my favorite bands period. I also adore the art of #animation. In 1985 the two came together in an animated short broadcast on Canadian TV that year. Now you can watch it. It’s not great, but the music is. #music #scifi #TV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8I_VgWI_xs npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K.

Nothing I’m honestly confused by some of the takes from this reviewer of Macs of “15 years” on what a move from #Windows to #macOS would entail, especially the idea that the Dock can’t show all running apps? WTF??!! #Apple #DitchMicrosoft #tech https://www.engadget.com/computing/ask-engadget-is-it-a-good-time-to-move-to-macs-from-windows-145159396.html npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K.

Nothing I submit the thesis that everything is effectively pirated. Exhibit A is the “You Wouldn’t Steal a Car” anti-piracy campaign from the naughty aughts. #piracy #internet #tech #capitalism #LOLZ https://boingboing.net/2025/04/24/font-used-in-famous-anti-piracy-campaign-was-pirated.html npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Tired of being lied to? Well, too bad because the lies will keep coming and there will continue to be truthbombs blowing them up. #Germany ran a 3-year study on #UniversalBasicIncome and have once again proven that people keep working. Period. #UBI #economics #mentalhealth https://yro.slashdot.org/story/25/04/12/0351222/germanys-universal-basic-income-experiment-proves-it-doesnt-encourage-unmployment npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Just searching #handsoff and getting an insane amount of reports of enormous, peaceful protests all over the US and beyond. And CNN is finally covering it because it's too big a movement to ignore. https://hear-me.social/search npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Um… yeah. Realign your perspective on #AI. #Capitalism doesn’t intend to leverage AI for the betterment of humanity. Instead, they plan on using it in conjunction with a range of other technologies to eliminate humans from the money-making process. #tech https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/04/survey-americans-fear-ai-will-hurt-them-experts-expect-the-opposite/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing I’m definitely a fan of #RetroComputing, but my allegiance clearly lies with #Apple rather than #Microsoft. My old PCs run #Linux or #Haiku, but I get what retro #Windows peeps want. So, if you want to install #Windows98 quickly, here you go. #tech #howto #utilities https://boingboing.net/2025/03/31/how-to-install-windows-98-asap.html npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing After some rather significant technical gymnastics some very smart people (myself not included) seem to have employed a fix to get #Microblog to #Mastodon crossposting working again with my setup! Here now is a test post to see how it works :) Documentation sometime next week for the benefit of other admins, as long as everything remains stable 😁🤞 #socialmedia #serveradmin #tech npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Well, I’m an #Apple user and I can easily say that I will never consider a #GM product of any kind if I am disallowed from using my preferred platform. Last I checked, 35% of mobile devices users in the US are using #iOS devices. Solid marketing, dorks. #tech #cars #stupid https://www.theverge.com/news/633791/gm-apple-carplay-retrofit-shut-down npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Wow. The new merlin video is truly frightening. In this episode he summarizes Ray Bradbury’s short story, The Veldt. He then proceeds to speculate on the generation of children born in the era of #ChatGPT and other #AI models. In short, it’s not good. #tech #dystopia #scifi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkDmoi7A6ns https://www.youtube.com/@merlinmeek npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Good news, everyone! #VideoGames workers now have a #union covering the #US and #Canada called United Videogame Workers, an off-shoot of the Communications Workers of America union. And it’s a Direct-Join union. Support it. #tech #FightCapitalism https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/video-game-workers-in-north-america-now-have-an-industry-wide-union-130024730.html npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Not one of #Microsoft’s best choices… out of a long history of making bad decisions. Disenfranchising millions of machines that will no longer be able to run a valid and/supported copy of #Windows is just dumb. Very dumb and great for Linux. #tech #Apple #linux https://9to5mac.com/2025/03/19/us-mac-growth-suggests-microsoft-may-have-done-apple-a-huge-favor/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Good lord, this is so very #Microsoft now. How the once innovative, at least for a brief time through the #Windows 7 to Windows 10 era (ignoring Windows 8), have fallen. Stupid #capitalism. Stupid #AI. Stupid #advertising. #tech #Switch2Linux #UninstallWindows https://www.theverge.com/news/632327/microsoft-windows-11-system-device-specs-recommendations npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing LA is my hometown. The #Capitalism segment of #Hollywood is dwarfed by the creatives who make the media we love. They should be paid and not replaced by #AI. Now watch Mikey’s video about the sign. #film #TV #animation #music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4U_3vq9g6VI npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing I think John Gruber is going too far. I’ve read his screed and coverage of said screed. He essentially claims that if #Apple doesn’t get #AI working, then it will fall apart at the seams. Bunk. We’ve been doing just fine without AI. So has Apple. Am I wrong? #tech https://apple.slashdot.org/story/25/03/13/1815207/something-is-rotten-in-the-state-of-cupertino npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing The only, and I MEAN only, reason #capitalism is having conniptions over jamming #AI into everything is to spur development, but not to make life easier. No. Their only goal is to eliminate the one thing they cannot control: humans. #tech #dystopia https://www.wired.com/story/deepseek-china-nationalism/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Back in September of 2024 I speculated that #TSMC’s #Apple A16 chip production in the US would end up in the next #iPad. Nice to see I was on the right track. Of course, we weren’t taking the tariff threats seriously at the time. #tech https://9to5mac.com/2025/03/09/apple-a16-ipad-11-special-trick-tariffs/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing You may have heard that #Apple announced the 11th generation base #iPad upgraded to an A16 processor and starting with 128GBs of storage, but is lacking #AppleIntelligence. Good, I say. I’m happy to have it on my Mac Mini, but don’t need it anywhere else. #tech https://appleinsider.com/articles/25/03/04/ipad-10th-generation-updated-with-a16-chip-double-the-base-storage npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Interesting. #AYANEO has apparently cancelled the Flip KB and Flip DS. Announced Jan. 2024, AYANEO has shipped some units, but has stopped production. If you ordered one, you can get a refund or select another product and pay or get the difference. #videogames #tech https://liliputing.com/ayaneo-flip-clamshell-handheld-gaming-pc-discontinued-before-all-orders-had-shipped/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Do you have a notification telling you some app like #Zoom is “Accessing Your Screen” on #Apple’s #macOS #Sequoia? Well, it seems to be a known bug, and #AppleInsider seems to have a fix. I can’t verify this because I keep crapps like Zoom off my machines. #tech #helpdesk https://appleinsider.com/articles/25/02/26/how-to-fix-an-incessant-x-is-accessing-your-screen-bug-in-macos-sequoia npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing You know, @nprofile…z47k, I’d love to cover your piece about the Steve Jobs Archive celebrating his life on the day he died, but when you don’t include any links to anything outside of your website, I cannot. Not helpful. #tech #apple #journalism npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Looks like #AYANEO is teasing a new #RetroGaming handheld they are dubbing the Classic, which appears to be a simplified version of their Pocket Micro, a pricey modern take on the Nintendo Game Boy Micro. No specs, pics, pricing or release date yet, though. #videogames #tech https://liliputing.com/ayaneo-classic-will-probably-be-a-tiny-gaming-handheld-with-simplified-controllers/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Now that's clever and super cheap to make! It's unclear if it's going to become an available product, however, though it does appear to be listed on one shop. #retrocomputing #technology #tech #opensource #ewaste #3dprinting https://liliputing.com/this-handheld-linux-pc-is-made-from-an-old-android-phone-a-thumb-keyboard-and-a-3d-printed-case/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing I have precisely one #MechanicalKeyboard, a Keychron K5 SE low profile and its likely to stay that way. I recognize a lot of people really like them, though, and these custom keycaps reviewed by #TheGadgeteer look amazing, especially the Mixed set. #tech #mods https://the-gadgeteer.com/2025/02/23/holy-keycaps-batman-turn-your-keyboard-into-a-comic-book/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing One of the more reliable indicators of #Apple preparing to launch a new version of a system is when stocks on older machines start to drop. This appears to be happening now with the M3 #MacBookAir. The current #rumor is for a March release. #tech https://appleinsider.com/articles/25/02/23/macbook-air-stocks-start-to-dwindle-ahead-of-m4-update npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing The #Framework (2nd Gen) Event kicks off in exactly 24 hours from now Pacific time. Note that they’re hinting at a gaming “system” in conjunction with #AMD, which will be streaming the event on their AMD Gaming channel. Also mention of more. #tech #news #videogames https://www.youtube.com/live/-8k7jTF_JCg npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing #Censorship isn’t limited to #socialnetworks. Last year there were nearly 300 #internet shutdowns in 54 countries, the worst on record. I wonder how long it will take #TFG & Co to try that here. #politics #uspol #fascism #tech https://www.axios.com/2025/02/24/global-internet-blackouts npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing One Mic History is a fantastic #YouTube channel that covers #Black #history in rich detail. I found the latest episode about the legacy of #SoulFood to be enlightening. I hope you do, as well. Learn about it, then go have some. It’s delicious! #food #education https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs2Sg-C66Hw npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing There's a protest planned for outside #OpenAI's #SanFrancisco offices tomorrow afternoon. Link in the retoot. Try adding the hashtag #ProtestTracker to all toots related to protest activities to see if we can't make them easier to find :) https://mastodon.social/@docpop/114043859925611653 npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing If you’re confused about why some people don’t seem to “understand” how revolutionary #ArtificialIntelligence is for humanity, let me explain: If jobs are replaced by #AI, how will people earn money to buy capitalist shit? #tech #capitalism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUkGXG7e6T8 npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing This took a while. #Amazon has announced that they will be shuttering their #Android #AppStore on August 20th of this year. They clearly thought they’d eat #Google’s lunch with their Kindle Fire tablets, but that never happened. #Apple ate that market. #capitalism #tech https://slashdot.org/story/25/02/20/1245240/amazon-to-shut-down-android-appstore npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Well, this is rather fascinating! Some mad genius hacked a Nokia Lumia 1020 to run #Apple’s #iOS for #iPhone. The trick? Inside the Lumia is an iPhone SE 3!! Still pretty damned cool, if I do say so myself. #retrocomputing #hardwarehacks #tech https://www.macworld.com/article/2611931/someone-hacked-a-windows-phone-to-run-ios.html npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Despite #Google’s claims of superior #spam management, I get a load of spam in #Gmail, and I barely use that. My main email is on #Apple Mail, and I get almost none.

Fascistic othering is the new #American #Freedom… as in the freedom to forcefully eradicate the freedoms of those you deem sub-human. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, as long as you’re #MAGA. #fascism #racism #oligarchy #opensource https://www.theverge.com/news/612857/codeberg-open-source-code-far-right-forces-spam npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing And another thing about this Gulf of Mexico thing… I was under the impression that #TFG’s America was about the Freedom™ of #Capitalism? But #Google just caves to Dear Leader’s petulant colonialist demand like it was State Run? How pathetic. #tech #capitalism #fascism https://gizmodo.com/google-maps-wont-let-you-leave-negative-reviews-on-the-gulf-of-america-2000563649 npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Can someone please make a browser extension that puts a label over “Gulf of America” that reads “Gulf of Mexico” in Google Maps? I can’t code to save my life, but I don’t think it would be that complicated… right? #tech #google #TFG #internet #programming https://jalopnik.com/google-is-tired-of-being-told-its-gulf-of-america-name-1851762756 npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing I’m not familiar with the MSX system. Not many Westerners are as it was primarily a Japanese home computer standard that started in 1983 and ended ten years later. This, like the Book 8088 and Pocket 386 before it, does look cool, though. #tech #retrocomputing https://liliputing.com/msxbook-is-a-cheap-retro-laptop-designed-for-compatibility-with-a-1980s-japanese-pc-platform/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing It could be the #iPhone SE4, but I’d like to note that Mr. Cook asks us to “Get ready to meet the newest member of the family.” I think it could be the return of the AirPort. Look at the graphic for the announcement and the AirPort A1034 attached. Just sayin’. #tech #Apple https://9to5mac.com/2025/02/13/apple-teases-special-product-launch-coming-february-19/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing @nprofile…45s3 Ack! Though I suppose I could get used to it if I needed to. Never took typing classes, but touch type and have been a pro writer for ... wow, 30 years now!!?? Sheesh! But that's what options are for :) npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing No wonder the #oligarchy is hell bent on protecting #AI. After slowly murdering #education, they can then use #AI to replace it with #agitprop and #revisionistHistory to save their precious #Capitalism from the clutches of meaningful #regulation. #tech #uspol https://gizmodo.com/chatgpts-political-views-are-shifting-right-a-new-analysis-finds-2000562328 npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Laptop maker #Framework is announcing a new product on 2/25 at 10:30AM PST using some pictograms to suggest words. My translation: “Oh [hi]!

Nothing It seems that #Apple has completed its acquisition of #Pixelmator, the makers of Pixelmator Pro which competes with #Adobe’s #Photoshop and #Photomator Pro which competes with Adobe’s #Lightroom. #iPadOS, #iOS, and #macOS are getting updates now or soon. #tech https://9to5mac.com/2025/02/11/apple-officially-owns-pixelmator-and-photomator/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing A story from #9to5Mac reporting on a report from #Samsung confirms earlier rumors that #Apple likely won’t be shipping #OLED #MacBookPro machines this year, but in 2026.

Nothing I find this infuriating, and for one simple reason: #Microsoft won’t stop forcing #AI down the throats of its customers for any reason, much less some study they commissioned. #tech #CarnegieMellon #education #criticalthinking #capitalism #fascism https://gizmodo.com/microsoft-study-finds-relying-on-ai-kills-your-critical-thinking-skills-2000561788 npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K. Nothing Unfettered, uncontrolled, unregulated #Capitalism is essentially crime since they do what they want, say what they want, harm whomever they please, break any laws they choose, and are never held accountable. Those who help them are criminals, as well. #ai #piracy #books https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/02/meta-torrented-over-81-7tb-of-pirated-books-to-train-ai-authors-say/ npub1l8xw3fk8h3qr2a0t3urtqmr3amjx7pyhz4d42nn5hqluj47u2pqs7dlzpf Tyler K.
