I turned on Threads automatic cross-posting from Micro.blog today, just to test something from my account, then promptly forgot about it. Hadn’t posted in months until now. Maybe I’ll keep it on again for a little while before going back to blog + Bluesky only.

Bluesky blogging about not allowing access in Mississippi:
We believe effective child safety policies should be carefully tailored to address real harms, without creating huge obstacles for smaller providers and resulting in negative consequences for free expression. That’s why until legal challenges to this law are resolved, we’ve made the difficult decision to block access from Mississippi IP addresses.
Just skimmed through Mississippi’s HB1126. It’s more sweeping than similar laws, and there’s no carve-out for small platforms. It’s going to cause more problems than it solves.

Picked up this little sticker at Muse Coffee Truck while out today. Feels good to get out after being mostly stuck at home sick all week. ☕️

Mark Gurman with another new report about Apple’s effort to rebuild Siri:
The company is simultaneously developing two versions of the new Siri: one dubbed Linwood that is powered by its models and another code-named Glenwood that runs on outside technology.
Executives had long viewed Anthropic as the leading candidate for a partnership, but the financial terms demanded by that company led Apple to broaden the search and bring others into the mix.
Not the time to be cheap. Apple needs the best model and best strategy that fits their company, wherever that leads, however much it costs.

Finished reading: The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu. Very different than most modern fantasy, in pace and character viewpoints. Loved it. Truly epic. 📚
