This is one of the most-shared posts on Bluesky in the past day and it's just completely false. You might think ChatGPT is a *bad* search engine, or prefer another search engine. But it has had integrated web search since last year.

iCloud Private Relay seems to be down for me. Unsurprisingly there is no report of an outage on Apple's status page (www.apple.com/support/syst...) but is anyone else having connectivity issues on their Apple devices?

I can’t wait to not buy a Tesla next year when the lease on my Model Y is up. When I originally signed it I couldn’t imagine ever getting another car/brand. Now I can’t imagine ever getting another Tesla.

Spot the difference!

What a great idea to drastically cut the workforce of public health departments during an ongoing bird flu outbreak. To quote a very stable genius during a different outbreak: "If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any" We're in good hands.. I mean tiny hands. Whoops.

BREAKING NEWS: The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

Joe Rogan explains to his audience why due process is important and quotes Ben Franklin — "it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer.” He argues against shipping people to a prison in El Salvador without trial because we think they’re gang members.

okay then let’s do churches next

so can we get that nintendo switch 2 pre-order going now?

I'm confused. How is America's golden age supposed to start without becoming the richest country through tariffs? Weren't these supposed to be really important and permanent?

10-year yield going vertical here. Something’s gonna break.

Trump 2024: Millions and millions of you are going to be screwing in little screws to make iPhones.

BREAKING: Nasdaq-100 futures down 5.4%, S&P 500 futures down 3.84% If this holds, this is the worst three day period in the market since 1987, worse than any three day Covid period.

Will the new Switch 2 cartridges have enough capacity to entirely store games like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077 or will these merely be hardware licenses that still require large downloads to play? I want to keep buying physical games, but not if these AAA titles require a download.

There’s so much GOP cope happening today. “At least Wisconsin approved voter ID so libs can’t cheat” Wisconsin has required voter ID since 2015. You spent millions of dollars and got your ass kicked for a rule that already existed and that fundamentally changes nothing.

The people of Wisconsin cannot be bought. Let’s prove that the rest of American voters aren’t for sale either. 🇺🇸

EMAILS @reckless.bsky.social

This was not a mistake - it was a message. Your "protected status" means nothing and they might kidnap you and send you to prison abroad with no way or desire to bring you back. Just another step in their campaign to get immigrants to "self-deport."

I pay for ChatGPT because I don’t think the robots will go after their subscribers first

Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications. 1/

I don’t like that the Google app on iOS funnels all of your links through the search.app domain when sharing something. Please just give me the source URL!

Let’s hope that the @signal.org team is upping their red team activity because I’m guessing there’s a big increase in state-sponsored attempts at infiltrating phones of government officials starting now. I’d also hope that their MDM admin was forcing OS updates but these are prob. personal devices.

Why do people support dictators? How do dictators come to power? We teamed up with history professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat to answer the internet's burning questions about authoritarianism and fascism.

Apple ordered to open encrypted user accounts globally to UK spying

I enabled Advanced Data Protection on my iCloud account today, and so should you.

I can’t believe we’re going to do the past five years over again. https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2025/02/05/nx-s1-5286265/bird-flu-cow-cattle-nevada

I want a ChatGPT interface for my email - @chat.com email address that I forward all my email to. It’ll detect and delete spam and then intelligently summarize and present important emails to me immediately via push notification in the app, and a detailed summary of everything else in the evening.

One reason so many people are so unclear on what’s happening is the hesitation to deliver a more general theory of the case. Go ahead, break out the big type

I don’t agree w/ AltStore claiming Apple approved a porn app, but I do wish we could use 3rd party app stores in the US. This stunt doesn’t make AltStore look good. Tim Sweeney is wrong abt porn being allowed in Reddit app. To view 18+ you must hunt down a setting on Reddit.com & toggle it on.

the entire tech industry in 2025: we believe we can achieve artificial general intelligence soon Apple: doesn't it suck to create calendar events for birthday parties guys??
