Sorry #NASA, nobody fuqin cares about a slingshot to the #moon, not now. Keep your fanfare to yourself. People are busy dying, surviving, praying, staring at the moon with empty eyes. Read the room, read the planet. Do something to fix it or fuq off.

“CEOs are motivated to promote doomsday view because they stand to make more money if regulatory barriers are erected that form a cartel of #AI vendors protected from startup, opensource competition” https://t.co/5zLqFDxmYP

In the confusing landscape of #ArtificialIntelligence, it can be difficult to decipher signals from the noise, real from the snake oils. This article can be helpful for understanding different aspects of these moving pieces of the #AI puzzles https://t.co/Uc01BkcS2w

Covid killed around 29 thousand people in #Bangladesh in total. #AirPollution kills more than 2 lakh every year! We locked down the whole country for Covid, what have we done for air pollution? 

If you are wondering, what can be done, here is a list https://t.co/mOMq8E6BCo

So Gboard on #Android is basically a keylogger virus from Google, right? 🤔

The support for #NTFS file system on #Mac seems to be a few dozen lines of codes; yet decades go by, versions after versions of #MacOS come and go, yet #Apple won’t add a native support for it 😒

Among the worst things #Google does against #privacy is including tracking cookies with apparently innocent looking services like Google Fonts and reCaptcha. Pure evil.

#Bangladesh’s national flag has no official digital specification for the red and green colours. And a lot of apparently wrong specifications are floating around the Internet. So I dug a little deeper, my verdict is Green Hex # 006651, Red Hex # DA291C https://t.co/UQWiXBKojE

Do you say “please” while asking something from #ChatGPT? Please do. Do not teach bad etiquettes to #AI! Be nice to them 🫠

Two shortcuts that @Apple thought would be useful but they are just a source of annoyance
1. Torch 🔦 light button in lock screen, it keeps turning on!
2. Long press lock screen for changing wallpaper. Why would anyone need that option right on the lock screen?

Listening @NPR 1.5hr—a long story on a musician, then how #Israel failed to anticipate the attack, how people from #Gaza including US citizens have crossed #RafahBorder, why #antisemitism shouldn’t be tolerated, but, absolutely nothing on the latest death toll in Gaza, nothing!
