Orville Peck & Willie Nelson - Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other
Flipboard started their own Mastodon instance 🤨
A bunch of companies are actively looking at the protests at Google, then looking at student protests and worrying that such protests might spread to their offices.
They are already developing insider threat risk assessments. I would not be surprised at all if we see a further chilling of expression at the workplace, and likely retaliation against employees who speak up in their private lives as well. If you haven't seen a message from HR about "professional conduct regarding divisive issues" yet, then I bet you will soon.
I hope you have a union. If not, you might want to start on that today.
holy shit. they actually called it "reply guy". seeing the Torment Nexus and copying it for profit is one thing, but seeing a reply guy and being like "I can monetize that" is a whole new type of evil.
every time
I wasn't joking earlier. The "TikTok ban" is less likely to be a ban. It's more a strongarm move to force Bytedance to spin a US subsidiary and sell that to a rich US investor.
It's a hostile takeover.
Nintendo is suing the people behind the Yuzu emulator.
The lawsuit appears to have two arguments at it's core:
1) Yuzu is an emulator, and emulators facilitate piracy. Therefore, Yuzu is illegal as all emulators should be illegal.
2) Yuzu has instructions on their site to dump the system keys from modified switch. These instructions tell you how to bypass a digital lock, and thus are illegal under the DMCA.
The first argument is the most dangerous one, and I'm hoping it just gets dismissed as the Sony vs Bleem precedent appears to contradict this argument.
The second argument is different, and I think might have a better chance of a ruling in Nintendo's favor.
What are your favorite sauces?
Mine are:
* Bells and Flowers Fried Chili Paste
* Soy Vay Teriyaki Sauce
* Mrs Renfro's Mango Habanero Salsa
OK, hear me out.
We make a W3C committee to draft a new standard called Internet Holiday. A few days are picked, and on these days DNS servers just return a gif of a fireplace. We just take a little break from the internet.
it sucks that Google renamed their AI Gemini. Now it's 100x harder to find information about the gemini protocol and sites.

Remember listening to this when I was 12 and it was the first album I ever had that said "fuck". 🙊 :lmao_raccoon:
Also, this album still slaps
huh, interesting. Apparently, a 2023 OR bill that is now law created a right to be "stealth" in Oregon.
It is illegal for companies and entities to process data about you that labels you as trans or not without your consent.
So, having a system that determines if someone is trans or not would be illegal.
I think it's unlikely that Texas will secede anytime soon. What's going on is a political stunt.
But, the liberal understanding of how power works is like that kid on the playground who tattletales to the teacher when people violate the rules for the imaginary game they just invented.
liberals are extremely smug right now as they inform the shadow they are boxing that "actually, it is illegal to secede."
It really sounds like much of the tech industry players are going to fold in the fight against KOSA 😕
it's hilarious watching this. I know that these CEOs have to be careful with what they say, but it's clear that I have way better knowledge of the legislative landscape and forecast on technology in the US then these people.
How do they not know what half of the proposed legislation even is? I guess it's hubris.
state communists: you see, the world of Pal shows us the dangers of capitalism where we must bring out our worst to exploit our "pals" in a ...
anarchists: lmao, it's like pokemon, but I can shoot them out of a giant gun
state communists: but by doing so you reinforce the exploitation of...
anarchists: I choose you cartoon penguin guy *thump thump thump*
state communists: no, no, you can't do... 💥
anarchists: lmao, that cartoon fake pokemon penguin blew up. Oh hey, another one spawned. To the cannon with you!
I've seriously seen like four textbook length essays by marxists on dialectical materialist analysis of Palworld.
I think this video game you can just take at its face. It's great. It's awful. It's ridiculous. Most importantly it's fun for now.
Democracy is a tool. Voting is one action of use of that tool. The tool can fit one use case and not another. Tools, including democracy, aren't sacred institutions or panaceas that fix all.
A hammer is a tool. It can be used to build a wall. You can hammer a nail to help make a wall stronger. When the building you are in is on fire hammering that nail to build a wall to slow the fires spread to you does something. It's not the same as welcoming the fire in. But it won't magically save the building through participation. Building more and more firewalls doesn't stop the situation from continually getting worse.
So, hammering your one nail (or voting) might be one action in an effective strategy to deal with an issue, but it can't be the whole solution and only action.
What are people using for disconnected backup media these days? I'm not going to use tape, lmao.
Are you using a specific brand of external spinning disk? external SSD? Blu ray? M Disc? SD cards?
Minimum storage size per piece of media needs to be 512GB.
