These days I just close sites that show that "checking if you're a bot" shit. If this is how the web is going to be now, I don't care, I'll just not use it. I didn't need to see that article or post that badl

Oh well. I just don't use sites that don't load on Firefox. I'm already pretty used to missing out on a lot of websites because I just close websites that show a pop-over modal ad or video ad or anything particularly intrus

Oh the other funny part about calling these new alerts by a certain color.. Amber alert was about a girl named Amber[0] -- not the color "amber". [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_alert

I've found CoMaps actually has more features, like I was able to submit a new Place to OSM which wasn't possible in Organic Maps at the time I switched over. This discrepancy may not still be the case though as I haven't che

How are those even real?! I was just telling someone about this and they couldn't believe I wasn't joking. Wowzers.

For me, it didn't mess up my brain at all, it showed me a much broader range of what humanity really is, which is exactly what I wanted to understand at that time. I understood the depravity humans will exact upon others, or those the

Oh yeah and even when you turn off preferences/settings/features in Windows, they mysteriously come back later in one of the unilateral forced updates, against your wishes.

More evidence that "millions of people in the same room" isn't a sustainable model for online communities. I've been feeling for years that some kind of "chain of trust" and/or "X degrees of separati

Damn, that's intense: > If the scan room door is closed when a quench occurs and helium escapes into the scan room, the depletion of oxygen causes a critical increase in pressure in the room compared with the control area. This prod

Definitely curious if Telus Health[0] data is included in that breach. Lots of people using it because it's so hard to get a family doctor and walk-in clinics are often "sold out" for the day within the first couple hours. [

Closer and closer to the desktop and mobile devices running the same OS... One other thing, how repairable is this thing going to be? I'm guessing it's going to end up with an extremely low repairability score, considering they s

I appreciate you saying this. It gets SO OLD having everything in society dominated by "think of the children" rationales that basically translate to "increasing authority and further-reduced freedom", with a spicy dash

Proton Mail complied with a legal demand they had no choice but to comply with, providing the basic shred of information the user willingly and knowingly provided. You want to be anonymous? Don't use your credit card! Don't conn

Yeah I was wondering about that too (the shoulder area for example), conversely maybe striking there is the most likely to cripple the animal, thus making it easier to catch? But I was thinking that as well, "maybe these are the least

Asking for WoW Classic isn't a feature request, that's asking for an entire game. People asking for it want to go back to how WoW was a decade+ earlier. The issue about "ignore feature requests" is talking about featur

The X's on the animal forms (Fig. 1B) ... isn't that likely to be "hit here" type markings, for hunting reference? Shoulder, side, stomach... surprised this wasn't really touched on in the paper, since it seems rea

I definitely interpreted his original post as suggesting that Ars also mandates LLM use, even if the words didn't say that explicitly. "even the larger news outlets" implies "in addition to the one we're already ta

Pretty boneheaded move. Yeah I'll download your app (???) so I can listen to critical weather information on my phone that can't even stay powered on an entire day without charging... Cool, guess I'll just take a wild guess

It's pretty good for backcountry hiking/camping (or offroading in general) where you are potentially hours away from any kind of cellular service. Some of these weather radio stations have (had?) pretty good coverage. A cheapo r

Yeah, super disappointing. Not only do many of my amateur radio transceivers tune to the weather FM frequencies, I just picked up a cheap low-power receiver for the purpose of having something that can last a long time during extended powe

yeah the 4:15 PM sunset actually means it's getting dark at 3:30 PM. Pretty ridiculous. For everyone like "the kids have to walk to school in the dark!" it seems like they aren't considering that kids generally don&#x

Right? I literally never once cared if I have to walk/ride to school in the relative dark. But I did care pretty much every afternoon how much time I have to enjoy the rest of my free time. Being able to go out with my friends and e

yeah! I've done some geocaching (or even just walking around exploring) while on my travels, and have very often encountered these "leave one, take one" type of free libraries along the way. It's really interesting to

by amatecha 8mo ago
in NA we have to call them "free libraries" because the concept of not having to pay for something is so rare, it has to be clearly indicated upfront! (joking lol, mostly!!)

Yup, nothing changes now, but I'd pretty confidently place bets that the tier will have reduced features compared to the "Business" tier (or whatever it's called now)
