Anyone who’s upgraded to macOS 27 know if the “mismatched Siri/systems language” trick will keep it from downloading the local AI models? I’ve heard mixed reports and want to find out before upgrading.

⚠️ This is not an invite to discuss AI in my mentions! I’ve been chronically low on disk space and don’t want to budget the 17-30GB extra space they’ll take up. ⚠️

Hey, do you consider yourself disabled, and have an opinion on the videogame Dead Space?

If so, what's the opinion?

It doesn't have to be related to disability and I'm not going to patrol what kind of disability you consider yourself to have.

Boosts welcome.

In case you were wondering if Flock would be dumb enough to hard code credentials onto 100,000+ devices…

@catsalad Fuck dem random cities

In 1983, Gavilan Computer Corporation introduced what it dubbed "the first mobile computer." The Gavilan was a briefcase-sized machine with a 3-inch disk drive, an 8-line display, and promised 7 hours of battery life. But Gavilan was a bust. It burned $31 million in venture capital and only managed to ship about 1,000 machines before filing for bankruptcy.

I detailed Gavilan's history in a 2024 podcast. You can read the entire transcript here:

@mttaggart @khwevin right? like

@jalmeter Pretty close, but twice. The first "you" describes a slight downwards slurred arpeggio. The second "you" is a good deal longer, and does this slight stutter, like a rolled Spanish "r".
