I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

Goooood morning and happy week, Bsky!

This post appeared on my timeline, which is timely, considering I am browsing Bsky while I pseudo-listen to a Teams session on using Copilot given by the corporation I work for.

Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase “shake my booty” can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.

Screenshot from a scan of page 289 of an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote. The text is set in two columns. In the left column, we read in part “thou hast hit the point, Sancho, which can alone shake my resolution”, and on the right “thy share of the booty would would have been at least the emperor’s crown of gold”; by coincidence, these align so that the phrase “shake my booty” can be read across the columns.

Hate it when the Sims 4 just says ‘OK’ at me - why aren’t you adjusting emotional weights like god intended? What happened to calibrating my personality matrix?

Hey, not to be a downer, but in case you guys didn’t hear the CEO of Proton actually came out with pro Trump comments and when he received pushback, he continued to reply using the company’s official accounts and insisting on his takes. So welp, a heads up 😭

Several of the Trump Admin's new executive orders feature bizarre errors, formatting oddities, and stilted language -- familiar artifacts that have led to speculation that AI was used in the drafting process.
