which is literally everything here. i don't think they realize they're doing it
@inquiline yes, it really is and no they really don't despite easily 20 years now of being very directly told to stop. they just don't care
@decryption Are they at least relevant to Australia and/or The Sizzle’s usual themes?
@layoutSubviews no, lol - just random apps. Got one 20 min ago for a "smart alarm" (less annoying to wake up to apparently?). Another one yesterday for a camera app that takes a photo with all the lenses on your phone to make them sharper (the examples were not that convincing)
Yesterday's nadir was dangerously bad. Today, with oxygen, morphine and IV antibiotics, I managed to read some stuff online in between sleeping. And video chat... "HELLO, YES THIS IS DOG!"
@mpe what a great dog! I hope he helped to lift your spirits. So sorry that you are going through all of this.
Koji Fukada's "Nagi Notes" offers a quietly charming portrait of the rhythms and realities of rural Japan through the eyes of an outsider (Shizuka Ishibashi) and her former sister-in-law (Takako Matsu). https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2026/09/18/film/nagi-notes/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #japanesefilm #kojifukada #takakomatsu #shizukaishibashi #rurallife

as you know i'm generally not that hotheaded but when these people make themselves out to be the victims of incivility from women [and other folks] who at no career stage attain the right to not be addressed like this, it makes me so mad
*maybe i am that hotheaded. on my last nerve w this behavior in particular
I have received so many emails with pitches for iOS apps lately. I got virtually none for years since finishing up in that space, but the last month I get one or two daily. Most are useless apps, but some are kinda cool and I bookmark them to mention on a slow news day in The Sizzle once I've tried them out. I assume they're all AI agents.

Russians vote in parliamentary elections this weekend, and a win for Putin’s United Russia party is almost certainly guaranteed.
But how many people show up, and how big the win is, could say much more about how Russians are feeling about their government and its war with Ukraine.

@TheConversationUS but if you already believe the elections are rigged, why wouldn't all the numbers be as well? Russians too stupid to fake that?
