People are opening up Meta AI Ray Ban glasses and modding out the LED recording light, then selling them on eBay. There is huge interest in disabling this functionality, which means basically you cannot trust anyone wearing these (i'm sure you already weren't)

Hey @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social just checking, yall know that Marshall-Coastal is the night after your Myrtle Beach event? Seems like a relevant good time in both directions. Will be pointing Herd fans making the trip to preownedairboats.com for tickets.

Apple, how do you manage to fuck something up as simple as "make the mouse scroll" like you have in Tahoe?

Offline October: Going Dark on Social Media
As a modern social media based society we've found it very easy to do movements, experiments, and concepts in marketing-approved monthly form. No shave November. Blogtober. Hacktoberfest.
