@bartreardon Back in early 2023 I was diagnosed with diabetes. Changed my diet and started walking about five miles about three times per week.
Cutting out things like bread, rice, and white potatoes helped me lose 45 lbs. Was surprised to find exercise got me in better shape but didn’t significantly reduce my weight at all.
No surprises on which company is the focus of this article (the current owner of ReadWrite). Sadly, this cynical strategy of replacing human writers with AI will likely start happening to other well-known media publications too. Yet another reason to get behind indie web publishers and ethically aligned *human-centered* open social protocols like ActivityPub. https://pressgazette.co.uk/news/staff-journalists-sacked-and-misleadingly-replaced-with-ai-writers/
An emergency protest is happening today at 5pm starting on Chicago and Lake street to protest the war on Iran

@gangrif Hell no, you’re not!
Our neighborhood group has been taking shifts in the mornings and afternoons to ensure children get safely to and from school.
All Saint Paul schools have neighborhood patrols. Many could probably use your help. Volunteer to take a few morning or afternoon shifts while schools are assembling and dismissing. Less than an hour of time.
A simple way to build community by getting to know your neighbors. Happy to help put anyone in touch.

Responded to an ICE alert yesterday at an apartment complex next to an elementary school in Saint Paul. The complex is predominantly Somali and there have been abductions by ICE. Spoke with a resident and he confirmed they abducted someone again and quickly left.
Their operations still continue here, even if news about them has quieted.

@overholt Your saying he’s “a Vinci” but not “da Vinci”?
❓Have you noticed that digital products and services are getting worse? So have we!
➡️We have published a report about enshittification, on how and why digital products and services keep getting worse - and how we can turn the trend (hint: open tech, enforcement, public policy++)
Obviously @pluralistic is a big inspiration and help in this work.
More than 80 groups in Europe and the US has joined in a call to action.

After changing out our home router, our Wi-Fi connected garage door opener lost connectivity, even though the SSID was the same. Decided to spend a few minutes today to troubleshoot.
Followed instructions in the app. My phone would connect to the opener's internal SSID, but it couldn't find any networks.
Took a chance and viewed the IP address it assigned my phone. Then opened a browser and entered the address.
Boom! It had a webpage to let me configure Wi-Fi directly.
@bartreardon Ohhhh…
@zoocoup @bartreardon Math is hard. Date math is harder. Apple math just is what it is.
@bartreardon Here in the U.S. Apple’s return policy is 14 days. And we know Apple has an event on March 4. So, yeah, realeasing M5 in 15 days! Thanks for taking one for the team!
Would you like to give a talk, present a solution to a common Apple problem, profess your love for an open source project, or advise others on something security related? Our Call for Papers is now. They are due in about a month.
CFP Due: 4/17
🎤 Session CFP is still open!
Workshop CFP has closed, but session proposals are open through March 26. If you’ve got a story, lesson learned, or tool to share, we’d love to hear it.
@gemlog Manual or prophecy? Either way, it's spooky.
Nearly 600 No Kings Day protests are planned for March 28. Find one near you.
