@migueldeicaza@mastodon.socialA small aside, during my vacation I finally started on writing a Metal backend for SwiftTerm.

@kubikpixel@chaos.socialThe Meta AI app is a privacy disaster
It sounds like the start of a 21st-century horror film: Your browser history has been public all along, and you had no idea. That’s basically what it feels like right now on the new stand-alone Meta AI app, where swathes of people are publishing their ostensibly private conversations with the chatbot. […]

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioI don’t want to dwell •too• much on the shadenfreude of Trump’s pitiful parade, but I do think it’s worth just taking this in:
Trump’s political success has always hinged on him knowing how to be a reality TV star, knowing better than the news orgs themselves that political “news” is in fact reality TV, knowing how to manipulate that reality TV show.
And today, he failed at that completely. His reality show sucked. The news of the day just ran right over him. https://kolektiva.social/@Voline/114685755430626127

@cdarwin@c.imIt’s going to get worse.
Trumism proceeds by the successive breaking of taboos.
Each time a new one is broken,
the previous one is normalized,
made to look not so bad by comparison.
The cuffing of Padilla was a red-line moment. And yet:
There’s plenty of reason to worry that in four months, we’ll look back on it as a moment of comparative innocence.
