Interesting Things on the Internet: May 12th 2025 Edition
- 28 slightly rude notes on writing
- Smoking: How large of a global problem is it? And how can we make progress against it? Including this mostly because of the excellent first graph in it.
- I Want to Love Linux. It Doesn’t Love Me Back: Post 1 – Built for Control, But Not for People. Linux is getting pretty good as a general replacement for Windows, but it's seriously failing folk with accessibility needs. We need to find ways to fix that.
- Mastodon posts from Jason Gorman on "AI": "The danger is, they won't (they can't) say "I don't know" when they don't know. So they'll bullshit you with identical confidence to when they do have the correct answer.
