Could you list some of these scenarios? I’m also neurodivergent and would love to automate parts of my life.
It looks like a normal email but has the word “Ad” in small letters. When you click it, it opens a link, rather than rendering email content in another pane.

It’s a pretty tacky design, in my opinion, even if it was only serving “legitimate” ads.

Re:Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea on Saturday November 29, 2025 @04:17PM (#46090862)
I would be tempted to give the thumbs up to terrible answers like that.
I think I’m improving my security posture. For example, I’d hope that prompt injection attacks against Gemini AI will be less likely to scoop my data.
Specifically, G500 is the Strong’s Number for “antichristos”: https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g500/kjv/tr/0-1/

I’m shocked, is it really this small? I’ve had some trouble finding a source for this number.

Re:Apple Demands EU Repeal the Digital Markets Act on Thursday September 25, 2025 @08:53PM (#45381257)
I don’t like that Apple feels emboldened to demand that laws be repealed. I don’t recall if Apple has done this in the past but it’s a shift in tone that makes me uncomfortable.
Here’s the link to the article: https://www.codeintegrity.ai/blog/notion

The author could have made the same points without using words like “polemicizing”, “putative”, and “epistemic”.
Re:Apple pulls iPhone torrent app from AltStore PAL in Europe on Tuesday September 02, 2025 @02:22AM (#45099711)
This is what I’ve always struggled to explain to people, that any software’s security and privacy is only as good as its most recent update.
Re:Mistral reports on the environmental impact of LLMs on Tuesday July 22, 2025 @06:05PM (#44653535)
I would really like it if an LLM tool would show me the power consumption and environmental impact of each request I’ve submitted.
Re:I Read All of Cloudflare's Claude-Generated Commits on Friday June 06, 2025 @11:04PM (#44207087)
For me, improvement means no hallucination, but that only seems to have gotten worse and I'm interested to find out whether it's actually solvable at all.
I’m concerned that it might not be easy to vibecode a security fix for a complex codebase, especially when the flaw was introduced by vibecoding.
I would hate to be the Microsoft account manager having to explain this fee to a CIO. Especially when Linux kernel livepatch is free.
This behaviour always made me feel a bit suspicious about airplay but I reassured myself that Apple surely had it locked down. But these 17 CVEs show that my trust was misplaced.
Re:I Tried Windows Gaming on a Mac and It's Amazing on Sunday April 27, 2025 @12:21AM (#43809402)
And despite all these flaws, the game will somehow get a 5 star “Runs great” rating.
Re:Gemini 2.5 Flash on Thursday April 17, 2025 @10:31PM (#43724381)
I wouldn’t be surprised if AI tools are frequently throttled in the backend to save on costs, resulting in this type of inconsistency.
