Yes, those big touchscreens in cars are dangerous and buttons are coming back
We know texting while driving can kill – but research shows touchscreen controls in a car can be just as distracting.

Forkiverse friends, I’m new to mastodon instances and didn’t even finish the Search Engine episode yet during my morning commute. Is there an app I can use for this or am I stuck using a web browser on my iPhone?
oh my God. it was so easy to setup minecraft in FreeBSD. installing lwjgl3 via pkg and modifying minecraft-runtime from pog5/minecraft-freebsd are sufficient.
EDIT: it runs on intel. let's try to push to gpu
EDIT #2: now I can play with my GPU

Made a nice optimization for Model.objects.bulk_create() with fields using db_default, ~12% in one quick benchmark:
One of the biggest reasons why I left Spotify (this was after they gave Joe Rogan a truckload of money, and tried to embrace/extinguish podcasts, but before they played ICE ads and before I discovered their CEO invests in killer drones) was because they were padding their LoFi playlists with garbage AI slop attributed to fictitious artists, bands, and labels. They were obviously doing this to avoid paying out any money to artists despite continual playback.
Spotify is 100% leaning hard into AI. They have an “AI DJ” that “curates” your music. They are replacing artists with AI slop. It’s all part of their grand enshittification.

Every week I'm given a new reason to be glad I didn't upgrade to Tahoe. And the state of the latest OS is a huge motivation to not upgrade my M1 Mac mini for at least another year.

I really want to coach people who are standing up to ICE like… yeah “Where is the paperwork” and “They’re a US citizen!” *are* critiques and begin to address the problem but… correct forms wouldn’t make the kidnapping and terrorism ok and maybe *no one* should be kidnapped even if they <gasp> aren’t US citizens!
Good luck to anyone starting the year with a new health regime. Here’s how mine always goes.
@peterk oh well, at those times I was more productive during the night - less distractions. Then I slept until 10 😂
Complaints
晚上回家的時候，懶得等電梯就爬樓梯，結果遇到樓下鄰居正在開門，硬著頭皮說了句bonsoir, 這位lady居然叫住了已經爬了半層樓的我，似乎友好又很委屈地說：「你就是住在我樓上的嗎？」（拜託！你按壞了我家門鈴、踢了我家門多少次，還試圖非法闖入我家，你現在不認識我？！）
「請你在九點半以後不要發出噪音好嗎？我的頭聽著都痛。」（拜託，是你連我走路都不行，白天都不能用吸塵器，晚上一兩點能夠撞擊天花板超過60db，把左鄰右舍都吵醒，你還好意思說我？我娃九點半以後都準備洗漱睡覺了，何況她很多時間並不住這裡！就算你請我半夜蹦迪我都懶）
還一臉委屈，我怎麼沒見你每週三天大罵你家孩子的時候委屈兮兮的語氣啊。

The previous evening I listened to a piece by Dvorak, and basically woke this morning with this John Barry masterpiece in the head, for the whole day. This brain makes connections… go figure !
an unfortunate number of people have told me that they recently walked by me on campus and I didn't say anything.
but, like, if I have to look at every face passing by and figure out who they are, I don't think I can do anything else. this sounds really stressful.
I'll just be walking around in my own little thought bubble. anyone wants to chat, they better flag me down or say something...

Early #sponges were soft https://phys.org/news/2026-01-earth-early-sponges-soft-scientists.html
Independent origins of spicules reconcile paleontological and molecular evidence of sponge evolutionary history https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adx1754 by Maria Eleonora Rossi et al.
"the first sponges were soft-bodied and lacked mineralized skeletons. That's why we don't see sponge spicules in rocks from around 600 million years ago—there simply weren't any to preserve... spicules evolved independently in different sponge groups"

Text contrast that’s hard to read. Menus that are inconsistent and hard to interpret. Windows that are hard to resize.
Engineers who don't agree with a design decision will do as little work as possible to make it look “as designed”. In this context, having it not work right is a feature.
I’m guessing there are folks at Apple who are very happy to see all these critiques of macOS Tahoe.
