It is incredibly upsetting seeing how hateful so much of the tech community is.

Until my trans friends can live in their country without fear outside their homes and be comfortable with themselves inside, I will celebrate trans visibility every day until bigots see what I see.

@zeddotdev Any plans to add support for changing font size with mouse wheel? It's one of my major issues with Zed, critical a11y miss imo.

Sorry you don't like our codec implementations in VLC. Looking forward to seeing yours.

Google is quietly replacing Google Assistant with Gemini AI, even if you never asked for it.

It’s being baked into Android by default, and, of course, it has access to sensitive info and is hard to disable.

Here’s why that’s a huge privacy concern 🧵👇

Now, more than ever, Doctor Who needs it’s Tony Gilroy. Someone who knows the history, but is completely unconcerned with constant fan service and call backs, and ultimately just wants to tell a good story. We need the Andor approach to Doctor Who. #DoctorWho

I don't know how many times I need to say this:

LLMs are literally trained to be Bullshitting Engines.

They cannot reason; they don't "understand" anything. All they do is give an answer that is highly probably to _sound_ correct, not actually _be_ correct (i.e. bullshitting).
