You wouldn’t think it’s that big of a change, but the new Apple TV style Lock Screen in macOS Sonoma is to die for. Curious what folks will be setting theirs to.

Metaverse never made sense to me except as science fiction. Because you can’t navigate a virtual space by walking (you’ll hit a physical wall in your environment), it’s hosed. And those to whom virtual escapism most appeals are likely also the most physically constrained.

In a well-functioning society it should be a moral outrage that we should have to lock our doors, much less be told not to leave valuables in sight in a vehicle. Whatever the cause (socioeconomic, sociopathic), we can’t ignore it or just take it as a given.

“A life in which there is substantial change and diversity may, if the diverse elements of the psychology are held together by strands of desire and intention, be unified in a deeper and richer way than a life in which one's character remains largely static.” —McMahan

Jeff McMahan is a remarkably cogent writer (maybe, style-wise, my favorite ethicist), but damned if this isn’t some heavy shit to stroll into a coffee shop with.

Feels like the priors dictate that the probability that aliens have visited earth given there’s a body are still much lower than the probability that aliens haven’t visited earth given there’s a body (hoax, mutant human etc).
