Yes, the media’s Biden coverage was flawed. But its reporting on Trump was far worse

When mike@flipboard.social interviewed @chrismessina on the Dot Social podcast;
dot-social.simplecast.com/epis…
... they briefly criticised "hashtag stuffing". OK, guilty as charged.
But on the fediverse, hashtags are what we use for discovery instead of serendipity generators ("The Algorithms"). Along with community timelines, and now keyword searches, they are ways to browse the pool of posts your server has from everyone someone follows.
You can "hashtag stuff" a post in a non-twattish way as long as you donate brain cells when considering which ones to add.
The crime is when people just add tags to try to game the system or garner unearned attention. They create the collective action problem.

Google's AI Overviews are often so confidently wrong that I’ve lost all trust in them

The tech industry bends over backwards to apologize for AI's absolutely massive failings. You simply can't trust AI. It is a super dodgy liar with that sickly tech bro positive toxicity fake it till you make it way. In essence, AI is what the tech industry sees when it looks in the mirror. A bunch of super confident scammers and grifters.

West Losing Propaganda War.
How #US \ #NATO in the era of neoliberalism, sold war as a consumer product.
From the bombing of #Yugoslavia and the invasion of #Iraq, to #Syria and the heroization of the Nazis of #Kiev, Western society swallows without judgment every lie that the corrupt media peddles to it.
Their narrative is full of cracks, and the elites know it. And they are scared. Scared of the change that will come once they can't control the truth anymore.

Animated Widgets On Apple Devices via a Neat Backdoor
If you’ve ever looked at widgets on your iPhone, you’ve probably noticed they’re largely static, save for a few first-party apps. By and large, third party developers are not supposed to be able to animate them. However, [Bryce Bostwick] found a workaround.
You might be confused as to the idea of animated widgets, but it’s quite simple. For example, think of a clock app with a widget in which the hands always display the current time, or a calendar app with an icon that shows the current date. Apple’s own apps have long been able to do this, but the functionality has mostly been locked out for third parties.
One way to get around this limitation is by using a timer feature baked into the widget functionality. The timer tool is one of the few ways that third-party apps are allowed to do animation. By running a timer with a custom font, you can display various graphical elements instead of numbers counting down to create a hacky animation that updates every second.
However, there are even more advanced techniques that can get you faster, smoother animations. [Bryce] breaks down the private techniques used to rotate the clock hands on Apple’s own widget, and how to use those tools for your own purposes. It takes some sneaky Xcode tricks and a bit of math to make it fully flexible for doing arbitrary animations, but it works surprisingly well.
Will this backdoor last ? Well, Apple is always updating and changing iOS and its associated software, so don’t expect it to work forever.

"I was watching a movie the other week and this guy really looked like Lin-Manuel Miranda (creator of the musical Hamilton), so I Googled whether he had any brothers. The AI overview informed me that "Yes, Lin-Manuel Miranda has two younger brothers named Sebastián and Francisco." For a few minutes I thought I was a genius at recognising people… until a little bit of further research showed that Sebastián and Francisco are actually Miranda’s two children."

It seems, based on photo reminders, that Cassie The Intolerant aka Bitch Cat is 10 years old.
The image shows two cats in a sunlit area, likely near a door. The cat on the left is sitting upright, with a white and gray coat, a pink collar with a red tag, and is looking directly at the camera. The cat on the right is lying on its back, stretching out, with a solid black coat, and is gazing upwards. The floor is a brownish-orange color, and there is a bright light source coming from the right, casting a shadow of the cat on the left. In the background, there is a white door with a pet door and a black umbrella leaning against the wall. The scene is well-lit, with sunlight creating a warm ambiance.
