Is it safe to come out now? Is the snow done 😁🥶

Blocking AI crawlers on your servers is just like adding an ad/tracker blocker to your browser. An unfortunate necessity, because we can't have nice things anymore on the internet.

Good coverage of some of the most impressive Democratic state AGs. https://oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/01/27/repub/democratic-ags-stress-importance-of-citizen-generated-evidence-in-challenging-ice/

@jaredwhite yeah “AI” in marketing speech that doesn’t further qualify always 100% means generative ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here's a #hottake

If you are complaining about #Mozilla yet you are a happy Apple ecosystem user (macOS, iPhone, iCloud) etc. I don't think you have the morals to come out upset about their latest doings and its foundation direction.

Nothing bad (IMO) to use #Apple products, it just seems a bit, well, ironic.

If not friend, then why friend shaped?!

I’m no fan of Hakeem Jeffries of late but this new statement, by him on behalf of Democratic House leadership is evidence that public pressure on them is having an effect. https://jeffries.house.gov/2026/01/27/joint-democratic-leadership-statement-on-kristi-noem-and-the-department-of-homeland-security/

“The violence unleashed on the American people by the Department of Homeland Security must end forthwith. Kristi Noem should be fired immediately, or we will commence impeachment proceedings in the House of Representatives.”

@mastodonmigration Oh yeah, I've been on astepro & Flonase for years.

The problem is that the blockage prevented drainage. So everything way up in there was almost constantly a delightful environment for viral and bacterial growth. The two nose sprays help me breathe but don't touch the infection.

So I get 7-10 sinus infections per year, and every one of them has to be treated with at least 10 days of antibiotics. Last year, two of those courses turned into 40 days each, about 4 months apart.

@lucydev

These AI as equity arguments aren't coming from people who have ever said anything about "equity" before this moment, and they will never say anything about equity after this moment. They don't really care about equity. They just want to have something to say that might pause our criticism.

"What if it really could help people?"

Let that go. If it could help people you'd see people using AI effectively to help people.

They are using it as cover.

Only 1023 DVDs to load and I'll be ready to go!

RFK Jr. lets CDC vaccination data rot; dozens of databases frozen

@dalias you can easily also try that by running the AI powered code review tools. Clearly they work and find things. It's not a conspiracy.

Pima County, AZ includes Tucson. It is the second most populous county in the state. CBP has shot and critically wounded somebody there today. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/person-shot-border-patrol-involved-arizona-rcna256137

Forgot just how harrowing Oldboy is

Our stuff is in storage and we're (safe & warm!) in a cheap hotel for the next 10 days while we secure a house, but we're going to need money for movers again and for food while we're here. Thank you so much for all you've done for us already it feels so good to be out of that place! 🙏🏿❤️

@dalias I know that's not the case because I also have access to such tools (made by others) and as I can run them on my own code I can see what they do and what they can find.

AI powered code analyzers is a real thing, and they make better code analyzers than the ones without the AI component.
