🤯 watched this, mind blown

“Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin discuss how existing A.I. capabilities already pose catastrophic risks to a functional society, how A.I. companies are caught in a race to deploy as quickly as possible without adequate safety measures, and what it would mean to upgrade our institutions to a post-A.I. world.

… This presentation was given before the launch of GPT-4.”

“This Is A Hate Crime”: Kansas City Black Family Demanding Justice After A White Man Shoots Black Boy, Ralph Yarl, In The Head Twice For Ringing Doorbell Of The Wrong Home, White Man Released By Police Hours Later by KC Defender StaffKC Defender Staff (kansascitydefender.com)
Community members are demanding justice after a white man in Kansas City shot a black boy, Ralph Yarl, twice for ringing the doorbell of the wrong home.

I’m not holding my breath, but I hope the family receives justice and that the man who did this ends up serving some time.

The @thunderbird betas have a rewritten main window UI. This has a lot of accessibility problems. Unfortunately, I currently don’t have the energy to file the bugs myself. Here’s what I found:

1. Too many tab stops. Toolbars should definitely be a one-tabstop container and employ the ARIA toolbar design pattern.
2. Speaking of which, the containers should all be made into proper toolbar containers in the process.
3. The main messages list should be a tree with tree items, since they are collapsible. List and list items are not. Also, there are a lot of focus issues still remaining when deleting messages/threads or when the view refreshes from the IMAP server.

Perhaps someone on the team can convert these into proper bugs in Bugzilla, or maybe most of these are already filed. Like I said, I unfortunately currently lack the energy to do so myself.

Once a month, I buy fresh raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries in bulk, put them on cookie sheets, freeze them and put them in the freezer in the garage, and then bag the frozen fruit for the kitchen freezer. (I eat it for breakfast.)

I store the frozen fruit in quart-sized freezer bags.

When I’m bagging the fruit, two of the dogs hang out in case I drop some. (I rarely do LOL.)

Here’s last night’s view.
