Starting out the morning at 39 degrees F. (That would be 3 degrees C for all of you in the rest of the world.)

Tomorrow is.. (checks calendar)… JUNE 1. 🤯

Granted, where I live in northwest #Vermont is only 45 mins south of the border with #Canada. So we do expect cold.

But last week it was 88 F (31 C). 🤦‍♂️

When people wonder why people in the northeast US talk about the weather so much… THIS is why! Intense variability.

Dear Zoom,
In what world would you think I would want an “AI Companion” panel *taking up almost half the application screen*? And that apparently *I cannot turn off* in the application settings itself… and instead have to login to the Zoom website to go into the settings *there* to turn off this panel?

This is the kind of behavior toward users that is turning people off to all things related to #AI. If I wanted to use the AI Companion, I could’ve just pressed the icon.

Signed,
A fatigued user

Fascinating comparison between the countries. I would perhaps want to see a broader analysis... but this also seems to align with other charts and articles I've read...

The degree to which the US’s export economy is focused on the past and accelerating global warming, and China’s is focused on the future and not, is striking. https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/385/531/865/809/364/original/f8f63f2afa581d15.png https:// Show more

And they aren't slowing down. Then they are behi...

This whole thread - and the accompanying article - are well worth the read if you are interested in #InternetAccess from #LEO, I.e. #Starlink, #OneWeb, #AmazonLeo, etc.

The reality is that we do NOT yet understand all the potential impacts of these new services. They can bring life-changing #Internet to so many people with few (or no) other options.. but at what cost?

I love love love love (in a sarcastic, dark humour sort of way) the title of the article Dr. Laura Revell, Dr. nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpq4xz48j6a92x5nyr3emzwfs6plzk7km82h9tmjqlcl7njxqrj76rqf0k5hz and I wrote last week https://theconversation.com/a-new Show more

So.. folks interested in "local-first" software and apps, I could use your help!

I created a Wikipedia article about local-first software: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local-first_software

A few weeks ago I noticed there wasn't one, so I started doing some research and drafting some text. I welcome any feedback and suggestions!

And I would welcome help from any other Wikipedia editors to make the article better. Also need to identify other articles that should link to this one.
