RE Larian and GenAI: now that we know the physical impact of LLMs and the data centers they require to run, even if trained off in-house data, there is still NO ethical way to use GenAI

In the early days of popular EVs and hybrids, I worked with someone who called in from the parking lot because her car wouldn’t turn off. So like… I don’t trust this newer tech that takes away a lot of the mechanical things for the sake of aesthetics. Like… what did a key ever do to harm you?
The SAFE Exit Act endorsed by Consumer Reports aims to address growing safety concerns with electronic car door handles that may not function properly if a vehicle loses power or is involved in a crash.
Proposed Law Takes Aim at Unsafe Electronic Car Door Handles - Consumer Reports
The SAFE Exit Act follows an investigation into Tesla's electronic door handles; the law requires a manual fail-safe and a way for first responders to get in.

I just finished my 4th book of the year! I’m currently listening to two audiobooks, one of which I might have to swap out for text because boy howdy the author reads at hyperspeed and you can hear her literally gulp for air. Like yo lil homie have some water and don’t need an ambulance. 👀

@rainbowofcrazy.bsky.social do you use a template or any kind of structure when writing out book reviews? I have a few I have to write for arcs and whatnot and I am generally very terrible at being consistent with review writing.

It’s official: RFK Jr has officially reduced recommended childhood vaccines from 17 to 11, removing universal vaccine recommendations for RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, dengue and two types of bacterial meningitis.
This reckless contravention of science is going to kill people.

Y'all, this saved my butt today. Re-sharing in case it can save someone else's.
I recently learned this trick for getting images out of a Google Doc, so I wanted to share in case it's useful.
File -> Download -> Web Page. Then unzip, and you've got a nice folder of images!

genuinely something I love about the internet are all the spaces where people post pictures of snakes/birds/flowers/mushrooms they see and people help them identify it for no reason other than appreciation for the natural world.

Reminder: there is no argument against Tony that is correct. None. You argue with this you are wrong. Get over it. And I will not argue with you because your opinion is not worth my time.
goodnight, and remember: library late fees suck. they simply discourage library use. you should be glad if your library abolished them, and if it hasn’t, you should tell them it should. 📚

Is there a way that I can stop whatever directory on apple products capitalizes random words that are also names or something? I use swipe and typing but these random capitalizations are annoying.

The book I am reading is sucking the soul out of my body. I’m tempted to DNF it and mark it as complete anyway since I’ve lived through 15 hours already.

@rainbowofcrazy.bsky.social omg you just reviewed Brigands and Breadknives! Holy moly I agree with your points exactly and Zyll was HILARIOUS. If you re-read any of these I def recommend the audiobooks. Baldree is also such a good narrator.

I didn’t hit my reading goal for 2025, but I did still read A LOT. If only the number of academic journal articles could be tracked this way, holy moly I would’ve exceeded it.

I deleted TikTok months ago and the desire to look at short format videos first thing in the morning is still going strong. I’ve never had a leftover urge from anything on my phone beyond the first week of removing an app so this is weird.
