  New observations suggest that the universe’s oldest galaxies are brighter than expected. Here's why this may be a big deal.

"Putin has failed. ... the West must prepare for the Kremlin's collapse." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0H9bRPeUck [www youtube com]

I think this is wishful thinking. I think Mr Putin's position is relatively secure. Short of a complete battlefield rout that puts Russia under the control of an occupier (fat chance of that!), Russian institutions, the Russian people, and even the Russian oligarchs will stand with Putin.

A few months from now, when the total Russian war deaths reach 1 000 000, people will still be saying the same. They often compare this to what happened when the Soviets had something like 50 000 casualties during their invasion of Afghanistan, but the invasion of Ukraine is already around fifteen times that many without any significant threat to his continued rule.

Ah, yes. The initial and subsequent Mastodon growth waves were full of that. The Fediverse has never fully recovered.

@sun@shitposter That doesn't matter anyway. At any time, $COMPANY can alter its TOS, and users' only choice is accept or delete their accounts--which may not delete their data for some time ... during which time, the company will apply the NEW TOS to the data.

The laws need to be changed, so that data collected under one set of terms is ALWAYS subject to those terms. TOS changes should apply to data collected going forward, not to prior data. But good luck finding enough congressionals who can understand what you're trying to tell them AND haven't been bought and paid for by big data collection corporations.

@sun Must have happened after 1986. Before that, I read at least two newspapers front to back (except the entertainment section and parts of the classified ads) each day.

I'm sure it would have been as attention-getting as those "the Christ is now here" ads.

@VD15 @sun No, it generally isn't. Too much saturated fat can cause cardiovascular issues (which is why medical doctors still generally recommend vegetable oil over animal fats), but in moderation, even high sat-fat substances like coconut oil are okay.

There are some vegetable oils that are artificially (fully or partially) saturated to change their consistency. I think those are worse.

I also try to avoid something called "trans fat".

@sun You shouldn't have regular Coke anyway, because of the sugar content, but Home Depot in SoCal sells "Mexican Coke" bottled in Mexico with real sugar instead of corn syrup. It tastes **much** better.

@sun I don't remember early 1980s McDonald's fries as being anything spectacular, though they were pretty good if you could get them made fresh. In-N-Out fries of the time were really awesome IF you ordered them well-done, no-salt and then ate them immediately.

Some time in the 1990s, McDonald's fries were really great. I don't recall whether they were using beef fat or hydrogenated vegetable oil by that time.

The best fries I ever had were cooked by my siblings and I using Crisco vegetable shortening in the 1970s.

(French fries have been a top-5 favorite food since the 1960s, but most food places serve really terrible fries.)

Stack Overflow / Stack Exchange moving to Azure and GCP. https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/404231/we-re-finally-going-to-the-cloud [meta stackexchange com]

I'm glad they're honest that operating in the cloud will be more expensive. I think the usual reasoning I see is "the cloud will save us money" and that's often not the case.

  We’re (finally!) going to the cloud!
  
  Stack Overflow has existed since 2008. At that time, it was a logical choice to run this from our own hardware in a datacenter. The company started with a small group of people who owned every aspe...
