A counter point to this adage in modern times is that censorship seems to spread as a result of users sharing content across platforms with varying levels of moderation. I've seen many examples of "shorts" being shared on FB

I have to agree with this take, as much as I appreciate the indelible hacker spirit of jailbreaking closed hardware and making it available to freedom loving individuals... A huge, vocal part of me also feels like the entire effort is truly

I use a motorized desk, but I'm realistically only standing about a quarter of the time. Standing is great for "thinking on your feet" but it is hard on the heels after a while. My setup (which is just a solid core door on to

I can usually tell within the first third of a trailer whether I'd like to watch it. In those cases I don't finish the trailer. They give everything away.

Can confirm that it does, at least on the pixel 9 pro fold, after enabling it in developer options. However, I don't see the top window handle they show in the animation. I have to long press the app icon in the running apps view, then

It might sound cynical but it's accurate. There was a big political will to go to the moon because the USSR was beating us at every important space milestone. That galvanized the American government sufficiently to spend massive amount

Meta comment, but didn't this get posted 4 days ago? Why is it showing as posted today with comments that I definitely saw before? This has triggered my déjà vu.

As an Android user who had a Dark Sky subscription, I have a similar sentiment.

I'm not particularly interested in concealing my identity from the TSA. My intention is more to prevent the collection of a high-resolution 3D scan which didn't previously exist -- which I would wager the mask effectively does. I

My thinking exactly. Surgical masks are commonplace on flights now, and I assume by default that those cameras are already on when I step up.

Nonetheless, the option exists. Get there early and you have the option.

You can absolutely still opt out of body scans. Talk about being unhelpful.

I've had no such trouble in Boston. In Denver, I got an annoyed agent, but no argument. They flipped through their TSA state ID binder and did the customary comparison, but no argument. I actually have taken up the habit of wearing a s

Since you brought up coincidences, a second Boeing whistleblower died not too long after. The first died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and the second of pneumonia. https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/

The Voyager Interstellar Mission page on the NASA website[1] is pretty informative. Voyagers 1 & 2 are both in the final phase of their extended mission (the Voyager Interstellar Mission, or VIM) which is focused on collecting data from

Thanks very much for responding. You mentioned backlight, and forgive my ignorance, but is this type of E-paper not front-lit?

CCP is a major pusher of disinformation/propaganda. Look up Dragonbridge. Or how YouTube had to remove thousands of CCP propaganda channels. Or the classic "US Army Covid Origin" story that China pushed when social media came

Not necessarily. If Apple allowed third-party app stores, alternative browser engines, had better cross-platform messaging support, et cetera, a lot of Android owners would buy iPhones. A significant reason why Android appeals to many folks

It was already mentioned in the other thread, but it looks like F5 owns the trademark for the Nginx name. Maxim should consider rebranding the project to avoid any legal blowback.

Web3 never had anything to do with the web . It was always a vain attempt to cash in on the aura associated with web 2.0 by sounding like a legitimate heir to the heritage of the WWW. It is however, as you said, just a convenient marketing

They also ditched every one of their boosters into the ocean. Not one Saturn V booster landed itself back on the launchpad. Different approaches warrant different metrics of success. In SpaceX's case, they've done this exact proce
