Another type update to my personal site. I am now using Gimlet Sans for headlines (instead of REM). shankarux.com

The most profound impact on humanity does not come from AI. It comes from continuing to support #DEI initiatives and being kind to people irrespective of race, religion, culture and sexual orientation. All of you speaking against diversity programs and bowing to frump - you will burn in hell!!!! 😡

Sign this petition please to make sure the NY Presbyterian hospital doesn’t pull care for Trans Youth. nwmd.social/s/copylink/5...

All this “fear” around DeepSeek is only relevant to billionaires, nationalists and people who love seeing their stock prices go up at the cost of humans and our planet. Who cares which country wins the AI “race”?

Next time I hide a trump post in my feed on any social platform, the only feedback I wanna see is “of course, we get it”.

The side of tech I love. Nerds doing silly useful things.

I love tech and I hate tech. I love “tech the science & technology” that helps us create, dream and learn. I hate “tech the industry” that is only concerned with business goals, profit margins and dirty politics. I wish one weren’t so intertwined with the other.

Current feelings

Interesting notification from iOS. I have never seen a notification like this for other holidays (only for specific events I added)

Very sus that #TikTok went offline and then come back in less than 12 hours just based on the promise of an executive order from Trump. This is just TikTok kissing the emperor’s ring; making it seem like Trump is some noble savior. So cringey.

The party of “real masculinity” has moved the inauguration indoors cause it’s too cold.

I love this stance from @macstories.net www.macstories.net/stories/macs...

"you just outed yourself as woke AF" is low key the best hater mail I've ever gotten thank you former reader John 🥰

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

I made a small big change to my personal website: a fresh new font for the body text! It is a font called Safiro from Atipo Foundry. And of course I wrote a post about it: shankarux.com/posts/post-4/

Engagement and growth as a metric is one of the worst qualities of today’s software landscape. Look at this screen on ChatGPT. 4 calls to action that are not “New chat”. I am already using your product. Why does it matter whether it is through web, the iPad app or a Mac app? Like fucking chill pls!

Had to turn this off. Unfortunately, not helpful and not accurate. #iOS

I am hoping 🤞that Bluesky (or one of the other new products) takes off as a mass market social platform. Links are the roadways of the internet and we need more products like this that can make the internet better for all of us.

Here’s some sky and sunset for my first bluesky post!
