Anyone who thinks Satya Nadella is doing a good job at MS hasn't used Teams or Outlook lately. These things just get worse and worse. If apple forced such software on people we would see riots at Apple stores.

@kagihq why does assistant stop giving citations sometimes? This is a critical feature IMHO and why I use assistant is it cites sources but today seem to refuse to. what changed?

The Trump admin is killing off the datasets that tell us what’s working and what’s broken — from maternal mortality and drug use to climate emissions and child welfare.

No data = no accountability. No measurement = no problem… right?

ProPublica lays it all out:

I’ve always appreciated what Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) brings to our community—reliable news, thoughtful stories, and programs that help us better understand the world around us.

If you’re like me and want to keep that kind of quality programming going strong, consider supporting OPB. Every contribution helps them stay independent and serve Oregon with the content we love.

Do people really care that much about smartphone cameras today? I feel like they have been good enough for a long time now. #appleevent

Can someone make a native Mac version of Obsidian. I love obsidian in so many ways but the damn eletronisms get in the way.

Electron apps always feel so gross to use. They just don't ever feel right.

Just ran a personal best for the Butte to Butte 10k! #running

I have been an avid user of the RSS app Reeder(https://reederapp.com) for a very long time now but just gave NetNewsWire(https://netnewswire.com) a try and damn this thing is fast #rss #Mac #macOS

Shocked at how much these Hoka recovery slippers are helping me recover from my marathon training runs. I was very skeptical but my partner convinced me to give them a try and my legs are appreciating it #running https://www.hoka.com/en/us/all-gender-footwear/ora-recovery-slide-3/1135061.html

@zhenyi using vinegar and wondering if there is a way to set playback speed? Would love to default to 2x

According to an old white boomer guy that was out for a walk, texting while out for a run is offensive and requires him to yell at you to get off the trail. I stopped briefly to text my brother who was having some issues and was on the far side of an 8 foot wide trail and somehow that sets off this boomer to yell at me. Strangest experience I have had running. #running

Fun obstacle on my 11 mile trail run today #running #trailrunning
