Note for @manton - no action needed.
Not yet managed to get to a repeatable case to create a ticket, but it happens a lot. Upload an image - use it - all works fine.
Later when in the upload library spot that there are two copies of the image. (But which one is the post using? So you leave them both.)
I will narrow the exact behaviour that causes this before reporting it. In the meantime. anyone else seeing this behaviour?

Alas, Apple customers will not know the joys of having an AI ask us to do all the things we’ve already tried all over again before advising we log out of iCloud and then back in.

(Via @maique - thank you )
A few days ago, the most powerful superpower in the world evacuated 12 of the most powerful aircraft in its military from the base of a strong ally because of the threat of a drone attack from a country we’ve been repeatedly told has been completely defeated.

I am all for the steady evolution of language - as ever it has been. Not new is the constant flow of new words by younger people. You know what I mean ‘daddy cat’.
But this is definitely different and a wake-up call for any and all who are concerned about any stifling of speech - free or not.
The spread of censored and mangled syntax is happening because people believe, or have experienced, that platforms will silence them for accurately describing the world in plain language. This shit is terrible, and it has to stop.

👁️ Happy to report that it isn’t SI -yet - but even if they change a letter - it’s still going to make mistakes.

🖋️ Obsidian Vaults - Three seems to be optimal. For now.
Three Obsidian vaults should be enough - let me tell you why.
👁️ I often complain about appalling customer service handling by various corporations - particularly the AI ones that aren’t really AI, rather a voice recognition bot following a basic rules engine … so I felt a real shiver pass through my body when the AI voice answered.
How can I help you?
But ‘fair dos’ to Verizon - a fairly complex problem solved in a few minutes - great voice recognition and routing - no human in the loop.
👁️ My Drafts count is down to the 30s - no small event.
