'when we have people like Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Kemi Badenoch, and all the others in UK politics who believe in this nonsense view of growth at all costs and corporate maximization as their priority.

People should be the epicentre of their concern, but they're not.'

I'm fully aware that this is a total waste of my time, but given today's news about an Apple settlement relating to Siri audio recordings I wrote this blog post about why I still don't think that companies are spying on us through our phone's microphones: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jan/2/they-spy-on-you-but-not-like-that/

probably one of the weirder microsoft support articles i've seen

A reminder that obnoxious, blocking cookie consent banners are not required by law but are there because tech companies had a massive tantrum at being prevented from tracking the bejesus out of you by default.. They don't need to be annoying or intrusive, companies can absolutely choose not to track, to track less, or make the consent experience easier, they choose not to 💩💩💩

@zarfeblong There's probably an MtG card combination that does exactly this. I mean, there's an MtG card combination that gives you infinite mana if and only if the twin prime conjecture is true, so sucking physical objects into your hand, why not.

Somehow my dreams this morning included destroying the universes of _both_ Magic: the Gathering and Pokemon.

MtG through some card combination that blew all the constructs out of my deck, but I had to keep drawing, so I was drawing actual physical objects into my hand instead of cards. (I'm not claiming this makes sense. Also "constructs" is Ascension terminology, not MtG, but that's what the dream had for me.)
