  I haven't yet extricated myself from Google, and over the years I've pretty much become a Gmail power user. But holy cow, how did I miss the "manage subscriptions" view? Super handy. https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/gmail/new-manage-subscriptions-unsubscribe/ #gmail #email

  @cohentheblue KeePassXC has made a controversial move to allow AI contributions (resulting in the forthcoming no-AI fork ChiPass.) https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/is-keepassxc-still-trustworthy-if-they-are-allowing-ai-generated-contributions/32651

  Remember doctors griping about patients self-diagnosing with Google? Today, two out of three doctors ask an AI chatbot what to do about you. Said one doctor: "It referred me to this New England Journal of Medicine paper from 2014, which, for the life of me, I could not find on Google.” (Of course he couldn't, Google is shit now.) OpenEvidence is free to use, because it's funded by drug and medical supply ads. BUT you can only use it if you're a practitioner w...

  Kind of amusing when the dumb "...99" pricing tactic -- meant to make something feel less expensive -- is so ingrained that people instinctively use it in arbitrary inflated "value" figures. "Look, this is suuuuper valuable! But not quite THAT valuable." #consumerism #money #marketing

  @b0rk@social.jvns.ca I had decided to spend some time getting better with vim/neovim, and in the process I discovered #Helix. The Helix (& Kakoune) selection -> action model makes so much sense! That it's ready to roll without a bunch of configuration is a bonus. The only thing I wish for is more interactive tutorial/practice apps (like vim-hero.com) for Helix. #HelixEditor

  @retech Anyone who's managed to write three separate books on Agile/Scrum is definitely not quite human.

  So many review & advice sites are nothing but AI slop -- it's worth highlighting one with a distinct human voice. I just discovered BitchesGetRiches.com -- which despite the name is not focused on being an MLM girlboss. ex.: Some timely advice in "Cosmic Truths of Cheap Grocery Shopping": https://www.bitchesgetriches.com/cheap-grocery-shopping/ And a hilarious THC-fueled panel review of Oreo alternatives in "Chocolate Sandwich Cookies Ranked": https://www.bitches...

  @SFRuminations@wandering.shop "Earth Ship & Star Song" was a favorite early read of mine. This cover art is like a familiar face. (Doesn't resemble any vessel in the book, but it's intriguing.)

  A reference to actor Catherine Schell of Space: 1999 just reminded me of the young pianist and singer Katherine Schell who released an album in 2005 and... disappeared, apparently. Not even sure how I came across her back then. I think she might have performed at a show that a friend of mine played at. I have the CD in some box somewhere, but the songs are still online: https://www.broadjam.com/KatherineSchell #music #musicians #singer_songwriter

  @codinghorror@infosec.exchange People who like Wilco and Sonic Youth (and it's always both of them) are usually weird but harmless. I'm wary of anyone who voluntarily listens to Vampire Weekend, Bastille, or Modest Mouse. But anyone who claims to like Jack Johnson can't be trusted and is best ghosted forever.

  Well this is sobering: “The Kill Line ...a sharp, unsettling, and revealing metaphor used by ordinary Chinese commentators to describe how American society appears from the outside. The Kill Line names an invisible threshold in the United States: a point at which a single shock, medical, financial, or legal, can push an otherwise productive middle-class citizen into irreversible collapse." https://jscaff.medium.com/the-kill-line-what-america-looks-like-on-chinese-social-media-14f10e4bb8b4...
