Since Bill Ackman and his followers have so many questions about how Wikipedia works now that his wife has been accused of plagiarizing from it, I figured I'd help him out.

acute_distress,

@molly0xfff why is it when conservatives go on a crusade against something it is 100% guaranteed it’s something they do themselves? Someone should research this. Maybe write a Wikipedia article about it.

My story about how telematics data from people's cars unexpectedly raised their insurance rates is on the front page today...

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/11/technology/carmakers-driver-tracking-insurance.html?unlocked_article_code=1.b00.DzhQ.GXkvg-kgWebx&smid=url-share

... and this is where it started: me lurking on car forums and seeing comments like this.

If this story doesn't convince lawmakers we need a strong federal privacy law, I'm not sure what will.

“The Russian military is purchasing Starlink terminals from SpaceX, with supplies coming from the USA, Europe, UAE, Canada, Germany and Kazakhstan.

This was found out by specialists from the OSINT agency Molfar, who studied the assortment and spoke directly with terminal sellers”

It's a major milestone for us: the first-ever Playdate game reviewed in Edge magazine. And it's an 8/10! Huge congrats to Mars After Midnight and Lucas Pope.

You can read it in Apple News+ — https://apple.news/I0dZ5NliZSPqmlHgFUOofzg — or buy a hardcopy of Issue #397 here: https://www.magazinesdirect.com/az-single-issues/6936949/edge-magazine-single-issue.thtml

Memo to eugenics death cultist David Seymour: The pandemic has not "largely subsided" and we reserve the right to keep kids home from schools where the risk management protocols are unacceptably low.

Normalise masking and fund air filtration, you ghoul.

@phil_stevens remember Seymour was behind the bill to let you kill your sick relatives

“Elon Musk’s The Boring Company, which touts itself as a futuristic quick-build tunnel solution, could have the capability to build a Wellington tunnel”

Please no. We have enough compounded nightmare scenarios already.

acute_distress,

@tcnicholls The Boring Company is a scam to derail high speed rail.

Two things can be true at the same time.

Like, it can be simultaneously true that life under centrist democratic rulers has been getting more miserable for the last few years, and also that Russia is running a propaganda campaign to make you feel worse about that so you won't vote for them and let the fascists take over instead.

acute_distress,

@nicklockwood it’s not (only) the Russians. It’s American conservative billionaires

@Schneems Sorry for sliding into your mentions. I'm wondering if you could invite me to lobster.rs. I'd like to join the conversation and you're the only name I recognise :) No prob if you would rather not.

I use HNRY to take care of my tax. They forgot to file my IR3. Literally you had one job.

acute_distress,

@jpdanner I happened to log into the IRD and might have caught it in time. We'll see what the IRD has to say.

I know it’s a meme at this point but Apple Music has to be the worst designed app ever. I want the UX lead to sit down and explain to us all what they are trying to achieve with this design. What that actual fuck are you hoping we are going to get from this UX!? It’s fucking infuriating.

I'm at a divorce party in the country and so far I'm the only man here, and I'm worried this ends with me being chased across the field by a gang of drunken women armed with farm implements.
