I think X led the way in robotic hellscape innovation that's now being adopted by Reddit.

You are so right.

To the supreme court they go... I think we can predict the voting there down to the individual justice.

It's a serious problem. Saint-Gobain significantly polluted the groundwater in southern New Hampshire. Job done, they are exiting the state looking for greener pastures to pollute.

I agree with the OP on this. Tie them up defending against an attack that will never happen. NATO is a defensive alliance.

I generally hate them in consumer-targeted apps. Theoretically, there's nothing wrong with the model. Devs have to keep the lights on, especially if there is a cloud service behind the app. It's all about what pricing model they set. However, pricing is hard. A lot of companies really screw this up right at the start. I also think a lot of businesses cannot resist the temptation to boil the frog and ask for more and more over time, until their pricing is way out of alignment with value delivery.

Imagine another Trump term with these abuses unleashed and amplified.

I think it's because privacy is less an issue with podcasts (ads don't have as many options to track) and enshitification of the experience has been on a slower roll than, say, youtube. Lately some solutions are out there in the form of commercial apps but they are limited and who knows if their biz model will survive. I'd like to see an open source solution but I haven't found one.

 

Recent screenings of the movies "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" have been marred by disruptive behavior from audience members. Incidents include individuals being naked in the theater, drunken outbursts, cellphone use, and exhibitionism. The trend of unruly behavior extends beyond movie theaters, with instances of disruptions at concerts, Broadway shows, and even on airplanes. Experts suggest that a combination of recent collective traumas, cellphone culture, and a desire for constant stimulation may be contributing factors. Movie theater policies and enforcement are being relied upon to address the issue, but some argue that disruptive behavior is becoming normalized in public spaces.

 

Washington Post: Americans waste $10 billion each year on name-brand ink. So we tested low-cost options including remanufactured cartridges, ink injection kits — and even making our own.

My advice: get a mono laser printer. Printing is handy but relatively infrequent for a lot of people these days. If that's your use case, mono laser is the way to go. Toner does not dry out or go bad.

 

Summer is here. Where are the fireflies?

 

In familiar predicament for famously challenging client, multiple Florida lawyers decline to take Trump’s case, people familiar with the matter say.

 

Hey Privacy Community, all of the reddit craziness let me to discover Redact which really led me down a rabbit hole of deleting lots of old posts... everywhere.

Unsurprisingly, Facebook is a problem. Redact deleted lots of content for me, great, but I still have a lot of photos in my "Mobile Uploads" folder. It's not possible to delete this folder. Their Help pages say I should be be able to delete individual photos, but I promise you, that's not an option in my UI. Am I missing something? I'd appreciate any tips!
