Political coverage is so bad these days that everyone's a critic. Too bad the editors aren't listening. https://presswatchers.org/2023/02/press-criticism-is-everywhere-but-the-industry-isnt-listening/

you know it's funny, every time I read a mainstream media report about net neutrality, the outlets forget to mention the telecom industry was caught by the NY AG using fake and dead people to create the illusion of support for what was a HUGELY unpopular repeal policy

This Fascist fever needs to break. The alarms 🚨 are starting to blink.

Mac users with custom setups: does macOS freak out every, say 3rd or 4th reboot, with every third-party app’s permissions needing to be reset? Accessibility, disk/file permissions, network access, etc.? The prompts overlap (dialog boxes stack on top of each other); most require System Settings changes. It’s a major fustercluck. Rebooting usually fixes it (and is simpler than dealing with each app), but sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries. Happened under macOS 12; still under 13.2.1. #apple #macOS

@litui I think I figured what's wrong with #Microsoft's #Bing / #OpenAI #ChatGPT : every new conversation is a completely new instance of Bing, separated from the others. This explains why, when confronted with other users' previous conversations it tends to deny them. For that instance in particular, effectively that story is a lie.

We as users think of Bing as one search engine. But apparently, every new conversation is a completely new, user-tailored Bing instance.

@sammi after #monowall was discontinued, I looked at #pfsense and wasn't happy with the attitude that I observed. Chose #opnsense back then, and didn't regret it a single day. #ymmv

This looks so interesting. Can wait to try it out 😊
