It is no longer safe to move our governments and societies to US clouds - Bert Hubert

Today, we’re deprecating Create React App for new apps, and encouraging existing apps to migrate to a framework.
We’re also providing docs for when a framework isn’t a good fit for your project, or you prefer to start by building a framework.

Gamers (read: salty men) on the internet complaining about the newly announced Witcher IV having a female lead 🍿😫 Same people who probably complained about the best game ever made: Last of Us Part II. Me: looking forward! Ciri was more of a main char in this universe than Geralt ever was! 🤘

I might have to reread On Tyranny because the world was a different place when I first read it 😓. Antisocial is another worth-while read for insight into alt-right/alt-light movements and how they think. Knowledge is power.
Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”
A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:
STAND OUT
“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

Coming soon: X Health Insurance! Don't worry, they will already know what to charge you 🤝
Elon Musk asked X users to submit X-rays, MRIs, CT scans and other medical images to Grok, the platform’s A.I. chatbot, with the hope that if enough users feed the tool with their scans, it will eventually get good at interpreting them accurately.

AI just never knows when it's time to give up. It will tell you "You can achieve what you want by refactoring your whole application into 15 microservices and writing these 16 bash scripts to put in your CI/CD pipeline" instead of just saying "No, that's not possible/feasible".
