    Rage against the apostrophe ban.

    The local council of North Yorkshire, England has banned apostrophes on street signs going forward because the special character “can affect geographical databases,” according to the BBC.

    One resident said of the change, “If you start losing things like that then everything goes downhill, doesn’t it?” Locals have apparently taken radical action* in protest.

    *Adding apostrophes to signs where appropriate.

    YouTube tests out using AI to skip to the good part.

    Some YouTube Premium subscribers can now jump to the most-watched part of a video, only in the YouTube app, by double-tapping the right side of the screen (which normally skips ahead 10 seconds), then tapping a “Jump ahead” button that appears, according to 9to5Google.

    To see if you have the feature and enable it, go to Settings > Try experimental new features.

    Google is shutting down developer access to Google Fit APIs.

    The company says it stopped accepting new sign-ups for API access and that developers will have until June 30th, 2025 to migrate from Google Fit to Android Health.

    For now, the Google Fit app still works as it always has; just know that it seems bound for the Google graveyard next year.

    Don’t quote (post) me on this.

    Instagram boss Adam Mosseri posted that Threads users can now limit who can quote their posts.

    Or so TechCrunch writes — Mosseri’s post seems to be gone, but the feature is there for me. If you have it too, you’ll see “Anyone can reply & quote” at the bottom when starting a new post to get the new options.

    A screenshot of the new feature, with replies and quote posts limited only to those mentioned. At the top, it says the post won’t be shared with the fediverse because limits have been applied.
    Limiting who can reply and quote turns off fediverse sharing.

    Adam Driver does some acting.

    I haven’t been following Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, so heading into this first clip, I had no clue what was going on. I still don’t.

    It seems like Adam Driver is testing his apparent ability to stop time, but I feel like there are better ways to do that. Megalopolis debuts at Cannes on May 17th. No word yet on a wider release.

    “The object you are holding appears to be a tomato, not something intended for consumption.”

    You know, I think I’m coming around on the Rabbit R1.
