What should I say? It’s my phone, but I don’t trust it.

“Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns Thing People Don’t Want boom could falter if people continue not to want it”

Who wants to be the one to explain markets to the head of a multi-trillion dollar company? Is he just used to people not wanting Windows and it selling anyway?

A screenshot of a Financial Times article headlined: “Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns Al boom could falter without wider adoption”.

My favorite new portable desktop #CD player. Syitren R300. Love the look and it’s great for listening to physical music during work hours. Runs from battery or USB-C charger and has SPDIF out. #physicalmedia #cdplayer

The reviews of @NanoRaptor's 66 power outlet monstrosity are in: the LLMs don't know it's fake!

Search for "superdana" power strip has several reviews for the "superdana power strip with 66 outlets", despite the fact that no such product exists.

Time.com introduced TimeAI. A gadget that’s floating over every page and every article and blocks a significant amount of screen space, ruining your reading experience. So just you ask it something. You can’t close or remove it.

#FedEx is my worst delivery experience lately. First, they can't handle accented characters and can't find my address. Then they try to deliver the package during work hours when obviously no one is home. Then they do the same on the next day! I tried to change it to a box locker twice, but it failed with "something went wrong". On the third day I finally succeeded. Which resulted in them handling over the package to Budbee. Status is now unknown. No idea when can I get it.

When you don’t want to proceed with payment at the income tax declaration site of the Hungarian tax agency, it asks if you want to continue. The options are ”back” and ”cancel”.

This game looks fantastic. Love the sokoban idea combined with complex puzzles and action elements. Developed for #Atari XL/XE in 6502 assembly by the same team who did the original in 1993. #retrogaming

The image shows a round embroidery with the inscription: "What doesn't kill you mutates and tries again."
The embroidery depicts viruses and cells and alludes to the evolution and adaptability of microorganisms.

Well, I don't know what I was expecting.

Screenshot of Kagi results for the question "how to tell if anubis is working?":

Quick Answer

To determine if Anubis is working with you, look for signs and synchronicities that indicate his presence or communication. These can manifest in various ways:

- Encounters with canines: You might see jackal or dog-like creatures, either in physical encounters or through imagery.
- Dreams and visions: Anubis may communicate through your dreams or provide you with visions.
- Personal feelings and connections: A feeling of connection to Anubis is itself a sign that he may wish to work with you.
- Messages and guidance: Anubis can offer guidance on personal issues, such as ancestral matters, and is described as nonjudgmental and caring.
- Sudden appearances: Practitioners have reported sudden appearances of canines as a sign of his engagement.

Building communication with Anubis can involve leaving offerings and approaching him with the right mindset. Ultimately, the experience of Anubis responding to your outreach is a personal one between you and the deity.

Do you have a very old computer hooked up to the internet, and want to browse the web like it's 1996 again? Normally this is practically impossible, because a 1996 browser will choke on modern html, css, and javascript. And because most everything is encrypted with TLS 1.3.

Enter the http proxy server that solves both problems: Macproxy Classic

Well, this is in fact no news. The original Macproxy was created by Tyler Hicks-Wright in 2013. I created my fork in 2021. Another super cool fork, Macproxy Plus, emerged in 2024.

What is new today is that I combined the best of all forks, touched it up with some bug fixes and improvements, and polished it to a shine.

It's good stuff, I promise!

@radoraccoon @varbin there was also Sonique, which was pretty cool in my opinion with its irregular skins. But still second to Winamp in usability.
