Does Closing Your Eyes Actually Make You #Trip Harder?
Science says closing your eyes can shape the entire course of your #LSD trip, down to your #brainwaves.
Periodic reminder that the literal text of laws are actually full of phrases that have specific legal meanings settled by case law, and in absence of overriding legislation, you need a lawyer or a lot of legal experience to unpack what is actually being said. Sometimes this makes things better than expected, sometimes not.
Lawyers have jobs for a reason and it's not just being bloodsucking leeches.

The right wing threat and a viable future
A statement from Steady State Manchester Introduction With horror we see the electoral success of POX, The party of Xenophobes and Fascists (which, without irony, actually calls itself Reform UK1).

Foundational rule of settings management in UI design:
Make sure the only thing anyone ever wants to change is in the Advanced Settings submenu, and make that as difficult as possible to discover. If it can actually be discovered, put in place a short timeout to prevent the user making the change before the option disappears.
I know as a developer just how hard it is to actually make it work, but perhaps the lesson of the Liquid Glass public reaction fiasco is for Apple to just give users •much• more control over the UI theme.
Between the retina transition, iOS 7, accessibility improvements like variable text size, dark mode support, and the long migration away from hard-coded layouts, we developers have grown used to making more adaptable UIs. Lots of the building blocks for OS-level theming are there, both in SwiftUI and in UIKit.
If Apple said “Themes are coming!” at WWDC 26, developers would adapt.

Calculating water/energy usage for "AI" per token is a bit problematic: A data center has a massive base load even if nobody uses it just by sheer existence. And since we have no actual data for any of the popular platforms all numbers floating around are problematic and not very useful.
Like how much power does one of those servers NVIDIA cards really save if its utilization is only 50%? And are the overhead costs actually counted?
