Streisand Effect incoming. I for one heard of it but thought it was a run of the mill JRPG. Think I’ll check it out now.

Weird Al also wanted to riff on some Prince songs but he wouldn’t allow it.

Wonder if I got a scam call via AI the other day. It seemed more sophisticated than other ones I’ve gotten and things they said to me were very reassuring but I insisted on calling them back via their public-facing support line. Nobody knew what I was talking about when I called back.

Not sure the best place to discuss peace and love is at a Nazi rally.

Probably not the norm but I’ve gotten pinched by an electric once. Using a razor I might get some nicks but I often don’t even notice it happened until a few seconds later.

Had to say goodbye because of leaving Windows but Bulk Rename Utility was a tool that never let me down.

A few tips. No scissors or electric shavers. Pull areas to be tight and flat. Go slow at first. Use a razor you’ve used a couple times so it’s not at it’s sharpest, it’ll still get the job done but be less likely to cause major cuts.

Also general advice, if your partner doesn’t fully appreciate the results or effort then stop trying. I’ve never gotten criticized about a “full bush” or specifically complemented on a “smooth finish” so I stopped trying. Not worth the hassle if your partner thinks you’re already sexy. More sit-ups or push ups might be more appreciated.

You wouldn’t know ____ if it came up an bit you in the ass.

If the parental control comes from the social media site itself then it’s likely the parent that’s being controlled. The most important control is limiting screen time and not every site allows parents to set hard limits.

Today it’s for CSAM. Tomorrow it could be for saying anything negative about dear leader. Our Constitution clearly won’t protect us.

Installing. We just call it installing.

They already showed their hand. Doesn’t matter if they’ve backed down. My new phone is going to use GrapheneOS and if this shit trickles down (Graphene is still based on Android) I’m going full Linux phone.

You could almost say it’s like being put into an oven.

Or duct tape

Nice. I used Splinter Cell to mod mine.

It’s been this way for decades. Productivity gains largely go towards profits, not wages.

Yeah, my brain has Takedown on repeat rn.

We need to get away from anecdotes as a way to describe this problem. There’s dozens of reasons a city can hit a record high or low. It’s like saying Wilt Chamberlain is the greatest basketball player of all time because nobody else has scored 100 points in a single game, or Bill Russell because he won the most titles. Those stats are based on key games or favorable conditions and not really an overall, day-in-day-out performance. The same goes with climate. The year you have a “100 year snow storm” could be the same year you have a record number of days above 90°.

Science isn’t about focusing on outliers, it’s about focusing on trends and what the majority of the data is telling you. Unfortunately we can’t always comprehend slow moving data points, which is why we capture data and view it as a whole.

Also this goalpost will move almost immediately. What if the parent doesn’t understand why the OS is asking for a DOB and they type whatever? What if the parent doesn’t log out and the kids use the adult account? What if the kid is really smart and bypasses the check (I think this could actually get bypassed easily)?

Rather than rolling back this rule they’ll just go even further and say the OS must analyze every action and utilize every input (e.g. microphone, camera) to determine the age of the current user and that controls need to be at the hardware level and OSes need to get state certified, etc. Before long only Windows, Apple, Google, and maybe RedHat can comply. An entire community of Linux enthusiasts destroyed. And as some bills have stated, rather vaguely, this can apply to something as simple as a calculator!

Oh, no! Not Meta! Or Oracle! Or umm, Palantir! Or… guys, help me here.
