When reading Bearblogs or Mastodon posts, it feels validating to see I am not the only one hesitant about (generative) AI. It feels like we the people are fighting in unison against Big Tech. I just don't think that's the case in real life. At our standup this morning, the designer was enthusiastic about a new Figma...
This is my first post on Bear. Hello! I have had a hankering to write publicly for some time now. I have had a habit of writing at least 500 hand-scrawled words in a journal daily for many years now, but the practice is too insular to fully satisfy my writing interests. I think being forced to consider the...
With maybe one exception, stop using AI to write. If your goal is to inform or persuade, relying on AI entirely will muddy your point. AI writing I encounter tends to have one or more of these problems: it's too long there's no obvious train of thought the author is trying to lead you along the thing I need to pull...
I am feeling so sick of the internet. I feel like's it's just a net negative in every way. It makes me see the world as a horrible place. I'm gonna try to stay off as much as I can. Working on strategies to do this effectively. I've used Cold Turkey Blocker before and just turned a block on again as a reminder. I...
Every morning that we open our phones and laptops, we are staring pitifully at a necrotic digital organism. It's sad and fucked up, no way around it, and there is no reason to go on what I'll call the Obvious Internet at all anymore IMO unless you are morbidly curious about how far we have fallen. There are tiny...
We adopted Moogle1 from a local animal rescue on May 21, 2025. He was exactly two months old on that day. I have never had an orange cat, but I quickly learned that the "one brain cell" jokes are true. He is the third cat in our household, and he gets along well with his big sisters! He's definitely the annoying...
I don't need to tell you that generative AI has been shoehorned into just about every tech product and user interface lately1. Microsoft has been guilty of some of the most egregious examples, such as the inclusion of Copilot in Notepad and Calculator on Windows 11. But I think I've found one that's even worse. A...
This post was last edited 11 hours, 29 minutes ago. PreambleBruno reached out to me mid-April with a suggestion to check out his privacy-first search engine tool Uruky. Uruky works on a subscription model, but one of my kids and I were able to test it out for free for a couple of months. I normally do not test...
What is Bill C-22?Bill C-22 is also called the "Lawful Access" bill, or "An Act respecting lawful access." It is, essentially, the Part II, the Electric Boogaloo, to Bill C-2, the "Strong Borders Act"; So basically, the sequel to a border bill that nobody wanted. C-22 would, according to the EFF: [force] digital...
Right now, raising a child in the U.S. costs an average of $300,000 from birth to age 18, excluding higher education. That is roughly equivalent to the cost of a brand new 27-foot boat. Of course, raising a child requires much more labor than maintaining a boat. Personally, I think raising a child is perhaps more...
