I tried streaming the Green Day opening performance at the Super Bowl - Peacock doesn't support Firefox, natch. Chrome only. 🙄 I do like the fact that Peacock let's you watch from the beginning of the game and doesn't just provide a real-time feed because I'm only watching the performances.

OpenClaw is What Apple Intelligence Should Have Been
Yep.
I run my instance on Ubuntu Server in a Proxmox VM in my home lab, but it would be nice to take advantage of some of the Apple-specific workflows on a dedicated Mac Mini.

Something strange is happening with Mac Minis. They’re selling out everywhere, and it’s not because people suddenly need more coffee table computers.

Don’t fall for Trump’s efforts to convince the public he’s changing course on immigration. It’s meant to distract and stop the protests. Nothing more. joycevance.substack.com/p/ice-gettin...

I created a Persona/System Prompt that I use with a local LLM that I have affectionately named "TOSBot". It analyzes Terms of Service and Privacy Policies of software and web sites.
Too often, it returns these results, especially for AI-powered products and there is no recourse.

Ellison: "We have the right as a state, as a co-sovereign, to do our own business with our own tax money. What the federal govt has said is, 'if you don't do it our way, we're gonna saturate your state with 4,000 ICE agents until you cry uncle and obey us.' That's unconstitutional and illegal."

A "good news" post about one vulnerable Democratic seat in the House. OR Cong Dist 5 is very purple. In 2024 Democrat Janelle Bynum barely defeated Lori Chavez-Deremer. The GOP primary is in May, and so far there's no one running in it who stands much of a chance of winning the seat back for the GOP

Federal agents hiding behind masks contributes to abuses. It signals no accountability. It lets agents know they can act as a nameless, faceless, camouflaged, armed abuser and nobody will know who did it. It is antithetical to everything this liberty loving country stands for.

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings.

We're dealing with a delusional madman who's President of The United States. The things he says are getting worse & his threats are growing.
We need to invoke the 25th Amendment as soon as possible. He's threatening the PM of Norway because he didn't get a Nobel Peace Prize. archive.ph/YFBK3 /1
