There’s this Google product, NotebookLM, where you dump text files into it and you can ask questions to it. they just rolled out a feature to generate a “podcast” based on the source material.
I piped out 100,000 characters of /dev/urandom, encoded it as binary in a text file, titled them all “patent.txt” and gave it to a notebook.
It just goes off the rails and they hallucinate a conspiratorial yap sesh for 10 minutes.

CVS supports passkeys and you can create one after you log in. but they don’t let you actually sign in with passkeys. so each time you have to do email, password, then two step with SMS. and then it asks you if you wanna use a passkey. which is a really cool UX.

I’m excited to splurge on my first fancy TV as an adult with all the bells and whistles only to continue watching the local ABC news channel over an antenna. The Dolby Vision support really makes the 720p SDR broadcasts pop.

New change landing in Mastodon for Android soon! In user testing, people have expressed confusion over “why are all the handles so long?”
We're presenting handles on profile pages in a new style, with the username and server separated. Tapping the server will show you more details, along with a neat easter egg animation when you tap the rows.
@npub1970…we4s did a phenomenal job on this animation 🙏

alright here’s what’s gonna happen:
- chromium gets an iOS port
- someone builds a swift package to convert web views into chromium backed web views (take a shot if it’s called ChromeKit or some shit)
- every PM under the sun is gonna request it get added to their app without so much as a passing thought why beyond “i like chrome. chrome go in app.”
2024 will be the years of misused variable blur effects and chromium web views. I can’t wait!!!

I had to convert an episode of Drag Race for my iPad and, even though the file got borked, I still deeply enjoyed it.
