• Pat Robertson Is Dead. His Dystopian Legacy Lives On — Stop giving the jackass so much credit.

• ChatGPT on iOS gets improved iPad support and Shortcuts integration — Generated by ChatGPT: ‘In the context of software development, “doing the bare minimum” refers to completing the essential or minimum required tasks to meet a specific goal or requirement. It suggests that the developer is not putting in additional effort or going above and beyond what is necessary. While it may ensure basic functionality, “doing the bare minimum” often implies that the code or solution may lack quality, robustness, or optimization. It’s generally considered a suboptimal approach as it doesn’t prioritize excellence or long-term sustainability.’
• Apple’s Journal app needs to read the room — Oh, unclutch your pearls, Geraldine.
• California hospital staff call for halt of surgeries over bizarre particles — This strikes me as a truly excellent reason to call for a halt to surgeries.
