The Joshiest Josh still reigns supreme.

I know this is completely irrelevant, but since we’re all laughing at leaky Rudy, here’s a clip of him congratulating Legal Eagle, a fairly left-leaning channel, on his success and two million subscribers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeARRJyKkwY

Guess he really needed that cash.

First case of highly pathogenic avian influenza transmitted from cow to human confirmed (www.sciencedaily.com)

In March a farm worker who reported no contact with sick or dead birds, but who was in contact with dairy cattle, began showing symptoms in the eye and samples were collected by the regional health department to test for potential influenza A. Experts have now confirmed the first case of highly pathogenic avian influenza...

And suddenly half of America became extremely passionate about “natural”, untreated milk.

“I copied this spell from an overflowing stack of tomes. I think it was originally meant to cleanse all living things from religious stonework, but I changed some of the constants now it works as disinfectant.”

rtxn,

A minor can’t consent, period. Even if they say all the right words. That’s what “statutory” means in statutory rape. It is the adult’s responsibility to disengage, and to avoid such contact at all times.

Considering the power dynamic between someone who is legally a child and is restricted in some liberties, and an adult who has far greater liberties, trust, and power, I certainly wouldn’t consider it ethical.

Would you say Apple is in a slump?

With the VisionPro hype already dead (maybe forever?), bad or tasteless iPad ads, purposeless updates to iPad, Apple dropping their car project, and reaching out to OpenAI or Google for AI services … it certainly feels like it to me. They’ve at least run into their limitations recently however much they want to find the...

rtxn,

For many years now, Apple has been sustaining its quasi-monopoly in the smartphone ecosystem by drip-feeding features that have been part of the baseline for other brands, and having the most hard-core blinkered Apple cultists proselytize about what innovations they (supposedly) represent. This advantage doesn’t exist in the silicon or VR markets. They’ve managed to keep their CPU successful because it’s built on existing technology and because of vendor lock-in, but the Vision Pro didn’t have the same training wheels and ate shit right at launch.

In case it isn’t obvious, I don’t have many positive feelings towards Apple.

Did they do something moronic again, or is that just a generic statement?

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

Does Tidal have a lightweight Linux client that’s kept up-to-date?

I still remember AC: Origins. Crackers completely removed Denuvo from the executable and saw a significant boost in performance.

What they’re not telling is the worm died of starvation. It was likely the preferable alternative.

Unfriendly reminder that Bitlocker can encrypt your entire system drive and leave it in an unrecoverable state even if you have the correct recovery key. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIRNpDvGF4w&t=528s The solution? Wipe. Your files? Fucked. Hotel? I’m too enraged to even make that joke.

Speaking for myself, there’s so much going to shit in the world, it’s difficult to focus on one particular existential threat.

Very expensive for the minuscule size, and most people tolerate it at best while pretending that it’s God’s gift to humanity.

rtxn,

Solar cells of comparable scale don’t provide nearly enough power to propel any kind of useful mass, and their output is only a trickle compared to even the slow-charging current of a classical EV. A solar-powered car would have to save mass everywhere, including safety devices (goodbye, crumple zones), backup propulsion, and batteries. No batteries means that the car would be limited by weather, time of day, and day of the year (winter -> sun at lower angle -> reduced solar cell power). Solar cells would have to be flush with the car’s body lest they turn into sails/wings/airbrakes, which makes tracking the sun for better efficiency impossible. Driving through a city, a wooded area, or inside a tunnel would cast shadows on the car, especially at dawn/dusk.

I could go on.

Doomscrolling on reddit, imgur, and twatter destroyed my mental health over a ~4-year period. I went cold turkey on all three about a year ago and there is a remarkable difference. They caused a great deal of anxiety, I just didn’t realise it at the time.

It was also a near-addiction when I could just flick the mouse wheel and more content would show up, and oh my, suddenly it’s 4am and I have work in 4 hours. r/ouchmyballs and r/watchpeopledieinside were particularly problematic.

rtxn,

Less content on the whole. There are many “the world is sliding back into fascism”-type posts, but I don’t feel compelled to scroll on the front page infinitely.

IIRC, the same canvas material the rest of the habitation was made out of.

It’s the “Cow Tools” of melee weapons. It might work to an extent, but we’ve had millenia to perfect bladed and spiked weapons, and somehow never arrived at anything close to the bat’leth.
