My policy of setting "Don't Recommend Channel" on all thumbnails of "science channels" with utterly stupid pictures or clickbait headlines continues.

I don't care if you are 100% serious; if your headline to an episode about the great inland sea that once split the north American continent is "Did this exist?" then no. Sorry.

Gods I love the modern .
Suddenly last week I started getting tons of emails from for some reason.

Thanks to the of the Internet apparently when a newsletter I once read moved to substack, Substack auto-creates an account for you and start pumping out newsletters. Without consent.

I had to log in, create a profile (thank Artemis only a name was required) and then move into account settings and delete the account.

@The_Icarian I am pretty damn sure it is illegal in Europe to do this btw.

Not that it matters as soon as i figured out what was going on, but the whole idea is so typical the modern Internet: A newsletter from a forum about movies I once read moves to Substack, and automatically they dig thru all the mail addresses and start sending out crap.

I hadn't even visited that page since Frozen came out, I think. I had completely forgotten about the forum at all.

A cynical person would imagine the reason the US stop one shipment of bombs to Israel has more to do with the fear of young Americans staying home on election day and less with giving a damn about Palestine...

"How young people killed the phone call"

Really? Are you sure it is not robodiallers that have done that?

@avon_deer Personally I am more fascinated by the (by my own estimate) 50% of people in the same group always having their phone calls on Speaker and holding the phone at least 30 cm from their face out in public or on the bus.

It would be rude to assume they simply don't know how phones work, right?

thing i'm missing in "does MS copilot make you more productive?" discussions is why do i need to be more productive, and how does that justify the fuel-guzzling.

@owl also no matter what the talking head say I have yet to meet anyone actually using Copilot to do anything but procrastinate.

"The entire experience feels just like a MacBook"

Seriously what is the point then?

Why would anyone not just get the laptop that has a lot more apps for it and an operating system that doesn't suck for multitasking?

@samf @thomasfuchs the market says otherwise. Combined pad / keyboard solutions have been attempted over and over and has always flopped.
