It's funny how I've seen multiple people talking about how Microsoft Recall doesn't take pictures of DRM media, as if this was a conscious decision the Recall team made, and not just a natural consequence of how screenshots already work on modern windows.

@foone I understand why it's happening, but I still find it funny.

Given it's an OS feature and the OS is in control of it, MS could certainly have given access to the image if they wanted. Even granting that it was incidental, the result is still that the MPAA has more privacy on my computer than I do, and that's a bad look. "What was the thing I watched with an elephant?" is as plausible a use case as anything else they have suggested.

we need metacomputers.

one of the big features of computers and how they improved productivity was how they let us automate a lot of things that we had to do by hand before.

well, most of the things I have to do by hand these days involve badly designed software.

@foone It's one of the many things that has gotten way worse about using a computer over the last 30 years.

Basically, you want AppleScript from the early 90's. It worked pretty well for automating GUI apps for like ten minutes, then everything was web apps and half-baked cross platform toolkits and Apple stopped caring about automation and moved to focus on walled gardens.

We have strayed so far from the light.

Apparently DoorDash has started filling in missing item descriptions by generating them with AI.

I'm sure this'll not cause ANY problems

For @emf, I’m making Mastodot, which in theory prints toots that are hashtagged for the event!

@mattgrayyes @emf So, who is gonna be the first person to work out the timing of the dot matrix printer to get it to play the rhythm of Never Gonna Give You Up while printing?

Ugh, I can never decide what to eat in Scantron.

When in doubt in Scantron, just pick Sea food.
