ArugulaZ, in China tightens Xi Jinping's powers against the West with new law - BBC
ArugulaZ avatar

"Aggressive diplomacy" strikes me as an oxymoron, like "military intelligence" or "a Chinese dictator who doesn't look like Winnie the Pooh."

Pons_Aelius, in Meta: Facebook owner launches virtual reality subscription service - BBC

So their first VR attempt failed utterly.

I predict V2 will make google products look long-lived.

Sommeliers BTFO

NewsUser,

Sommeliers have always been a strange concept to me anyways

I'm just waiting for them to add AI to the wine itself since they wanna add AI to everything nowadays

I'd probably understand it more if I actually drank wine. Though I get the concept. What we need are sommeliers for music. It's hard enough without a system to find new music.

What a rollercoaster of 24 hours.

Jeez, that region is so screwed up. It will take a miracle to unscrew this situation.

goldenbug, in Furby: Toy giant Hasbro brings back iconic robotic creature - BBC

Oh yes, a new generation of humans wairy of cyborgs omce the furry robot wakes up in the middle of the night and starts doing random shit until it notices you looking.

NewsUser,

We didn't ask for and didn't need this.. I think companies are banking on the nostalgia of 80s to early 00s kids. And I also think it is working lol

Furbys are awful nightmare fuel (and apparently there was a furby board game at one point), but I'll gladly take some non-nightmare fuel nostalgia from the 90s - early 00s

exohuman, in Mosquito-borne diseases becoming increasing risk in Europe - BBC

@NewsUser I don’t understand why they don’t introduce the genetically modified mosquitoes and devastate the pest’s population. It’s been needed at a number of places in the world and the leaders never go for it.

NewsUser,

@exohuman I think they are afraid of change and new technology. To be fair, there have been instances where we have introduced a new species of something to deal with a different invasive species…just to have our introduced species take their place. I believe it was frogs in Australia? (Citation needed)
