If you ever wondered “hey, how is the Epoch Times funded anyway?” well, buddy, it’s a funny story. https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/chief-financial-officer-multinational-media-company-charged-participating-scheme

I bet A.I. could write a typical Atlantic cancel culture piece no problem. https://www.axios.com/2024/05/29/atlantic-vox-media-openai-licensing-deal

@nickheer I’m excited about the think pieces on the merits of having 6.5 fingers

I like the look of the Daylight tablet a lot. It’s very expensive, but it is intriguing. I do not like the marketing that describes it as a “healthier” computer, non-addictive, “for your wellbeing”. https://daylightcomputer.com

@jsnell Is it the health-centred marketing that’s raising your eyebrows? Because it is mine. I do not like that at all.

My timeline is a constant stream of Google serving up artificial “intelligence” answers ranging from the absurd to the hostile and dangerous. Completely embarrassing from the company literally synonymous with searching the web.

Sometimes I check in on a crank site called Reclaim the Net because its dishonesty is kind of funny.

In this story, they say the Canadian government is pushing an age verification bill with a giant photo of Justin Trudeau. Yet the bill was introduced by the independent Senate, was first read in the House of Commons by a member of the opposition Conservative party, and has been repeatedly rejected by the Liberal party including Trudeau himself. This is barely mentioned in the Reclaim post.

But a low-res photo of Trudeau looks scary, so it’s better to just run with it.

Screenshot of most recent vote on bill described in post, with overwhelming disapproval by Trudeau’s Liberal party.
Voting record of Trudeau specifically.

Entire salaries are somehow propped up by ads that say things like “hang three pennies in a bag to learn the secret to good gut health” and “here’s why I keep a tactical onion on my belt”. https://saturation.social/@clive/112457235366176250

@nickheer Tactical Onions would be a great business name, though.

Every time I ask ChatGPT to rewrite something from a more engaging perspective, it starts with the phrase “buckle up, folks” and I hate it.

I found this substance at the grocery store marked “gelatine halal sheets (vegetarian)” with no other information. They are transparent yellow-tinted thin sheets that are hard to snap and shatter a little when you do. I’ve dissolved about 10–15 grams in about 200 grams of stock and they do seem to be thickening it a little when left to cool. Any idea what this could be other than the gelatine I suspect it is?

@nickheer Probably agar-agar? Though usually they look more like this

“Vehicle Motion Cues is a new experience for iPhone and iPad that can help reduce motion sickness for passengers in moving vehicles.”

I am fascinated. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/05/apple-announces-new-accessibility-features-including-eye-tracking/

Glad to have an answer for why there is a particular sound made by freshly boiled water pouring from a kettle, something I think about basically every time I make tea. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/09/science/hot-water-sound-cold.html

Hard to think of a greater Apple sycophant regardless of circumstance or context than Neil Cybart. https://x.com/markgurman/status/1788732819990298681

@nickheer If you want “Apple is a flawless company” opinions, there is no one better.

He really doesn’t get it, does he? He really doesn’t see why specific people got access and didn’t post things in their fuller context. What a big dummy.
