It feels like every time I find a podcast about security/networking/technology the hosts end up saying some pretty off-color stuff, or I look them up and they also host right wing podcasts. Are there any that are more leftist, hosted by LGBT peeps, or at least not actively bigoted ?
I don’t listen to tech podcasts at all, but now that you mention it, the concept seems odd to me, too. Tech involves objective facts, scientific reasoning, and logic, which are three things I definitely don’t associate with modern conservatism.
Health Canada says it has already rejected one licence application to produce FMT at Klop’s Chilliwack facility, citing a long list of quality control and sanitation problems.
What? A quack who wants to sell shit pills has issues with quality control and sanitation? I DON’T BELIEVE IT.
I usually like Pixar, but I haven’t seen the movie. From the commercials, I thought it looked like a boring, generic, fish-out-of-water/“opposites attract” type story that’s tired, unoriginal, and overdone. Sure, it would be animated well, because Pixar, but ugh. No thanks.
It’s good to know that the movie is better than the marketing suggests. Now I think I’ll actually give it a chance!
First of all I’d like to apologize in advance for any insensitive statements I might make (I hope I don’t though), I’m trying my best not to and I was just curious :)...
When going to use Adobe express on Firefox it comes up with the following message, saying that this browser doesn’t play well with others and that I should use Safari, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge instead.
“Firefox gives the user too much control, so we decided to introduce incompatibility and then blame it on Firefox. Since we’re a huge software company, we could easily fix this… but we won’t. That’s okay, though, because we wrote a cute error message. Enjoy!”
Yeah. Even though I’ll probably never use Pixelfed (I don’t use Instagram, either, or anything like it) I still acknowledge that’s a pretty cool feature.
Granted, I’m lucky enough never to have been arrested or questioned about a crime. I don’t know how difficult and manipulative interrogations are outside of what I’ve seen on TV. Even still, I’m amazed by and critical of people who talk to the police without a lawyer present.
Even if you think (or know) you’re guilty, that doesn’t mean you should let the system have its way with you.
Meta complied with the request, with the Messenger chat history appearing to show Celeste and Jessica discussing Celeste’s use of home abortion medication. At the time, Celeste was 28 weeks pregnant — at the start of her third trimester.
Police used the chat history as evidence to seize the pair’s computers and phones. They have since charged the two women with a number of crimes, including charging Jessica with allegedly performing an abortion 20 weeks after fertilization and performing an abortion without a licensed doctor (both felonies), and charging Celeste (who is being tried as an adult) with the felony of removing, concealing, or abandoning a dead human body.
So… was there ever a doctor involved at all? I’m a big proponent of the right to choose, but this is pretty messed up.
The best part of the fediverse is that anyone can run their own server. The downside of this is that anyone can easily create hordes of fake accounts, as I will now demonstrate....
What do you think are the biggest limitations to robots in the home? Privacy concerns, limited utility, inability to overcome simple obstacles, price or something else?
I think you hit the biggest ones. I imagine that even the most “affordable” robots will still be very expensive, and even the most useful and adaptable ones will still be remarkably stupid. They won’t be nearly as useful as they’ll undoubtedly be advertised.
The privacy issue you mention is interesting. As we’ve seen with online services, companies will do everything they can to gather as much personal information as possible. I wouldn’t be surprised if the robot (or perhaps the server it connects to) uses OCR to read things like book titles on your shelf, item brands (like food, clothing, and electronics) or prescription drug labels. I assume that the manufacturer will require an internet connection for the robot to even operate. Expect the loose privacy requirements in the US to continue favoring companies over the public.
Some of us are used to having microphones, and even active cameras, in our home. What makes a robot unique is that it could move itself, or be moved by someone with unauthorized access, or perhaps a law enforcement agency.
If anyone is upset by this, remember that Sweeney is only repeating information that’s already publicly available. If you have any complaints, talk to the to the FAA.
I had to remove Huffington Post on my desktop Apple News feed. Advertorials have been the bulk of their pushed content. I looked today, and the eight articles that were pinned at the top of the app were all advertisements.
I’m pretty liberal, but I don’t let myself read HuffPo. I suspect they’ll just tell me what I want to hear, or what they’ve decided today’s target of outrage is supposed to be. When I want news, I want news, not a comforting echo chamber.
I can’t say I “trust” the AP, either, but I prefer them because they’re more neutral. Licensing content is their main source of their revenue, so it’s in their best interest to be accurate and try to keep bias to a minimum. Of course, any corporate backed or for-profit news organization is going to be biased to some degree, but I think the AP is about the best we can do.
Airbnb sounds like a good idea when you imagine people using it as first envisioned: doing short-term rentals on an otherwise unavailable space that’s not being used. Handy for vacationers, and it’s a fair way for owners to make a few extra bucks, right?
It sucks, but it’s predictable, that owners are abusing the system. Buying a place specifically for Airbnb rentals should be cracked down on. Ridiculously picky rules are NOT okay. Cleaning fees need to be capped, unless there’s solid evidence (solid evidence by courtroom standards, not Airbnb standards).
I readily admit that I’m not invested enough to even read the whole story. One company is accusing another company of wrongdoing, blah blah blah. The details don’t matter.
Musk is an asshole, and it’s funny to me that he’s mad. That’s it.
I’m right with you on “Negative Reactions don’t Inspire Discussion” If someone doesn’t like my post, I want to know why. Hearing opposing viewpoints is my favorite way to learn.
A simple downvote doesn’t tell me anything. Are they mad because I raised a sensitive subject, made a bad joke, used an Oxford comma, or do they actually have a relevant disagreement? This isn’t reddit. I won’t bite your head off. If I’m full of shit, make a comment of your own and tell me why! Don’t just hit a down arrow!
Constructive criticism: words like “and”, “of”, and “the” aren’t capitalized in titles, but “don’t” should be. I don’t know the exact rule offhand, but I’m sure you can find it in a Manual of Style or something.
Watching reddit implode was funny for a while. Now, it’s just the same thing over and over - doubling down, then tripling down, then quadrupling down on shitty management decisions.
Maybe they’ll collapse soon. Maybe they’ll limp on for a few years. Whatever. I feel sorry for anyone who’s still majorly invested, but it’s not something I can fix. Reddit may even (unintentionally) be doing those stubborn mods a favor by forcing them out. Maybe this will be the kick in the butt they need to get them to move on.
The number of companies that require employees to be in the office full time has actually declined to 42%, from 49% three months ago, Scoop said. Employees at companies with hybrid strategies work an average of 2.5 days a week in the office.
What does MEP stand for in this case? I found lots of explanations that define it as Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing and another for Minimum Environment Price. Just a guess, but I don’t think either of those fit.

They can’t see the hypocrisy, because to them, it isn’t hypocrisy. They’re simply enforcing gods law, and gods law is beyond question. There’s no “argument” to be had.
Faith is maddening to rational thinkers for that reason.
To them, it’s as fundamental as gravity. If someone won’t accept something as simple and obvious as gravity, then they’re the one with the problem.
Wow. Last I read, Prigozhin was talking shit, but the Russian government wasn’t actually after him yet. I’d feel bad for him if he wasn’t such a scumbag.

I remember being disappointed in AOC when she voted to block the strike. At the time, I thought her excuse was bullshit, but it looks like the administration really did what she said they would do.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Wednesday he believes Russia acted in “good faith” amid the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine, adding the U.S., in fact, bore heavy responsibility for the ongoing war.
He wants people to distrust the mainstream media and listen to his own words. That almost sounds reasonable, but I wonder how clearly he’ll be able to enunciate with Putin’s dick in his mouth.
I've been a long time Redditor and an Apollo user for about a year. I even paid for it. The main draw for me was the lack of advertising. In the back of my head I kept thinking that it couldn't last. Reddit is losing revenue from the lack of advertising views. It didn't...
I can’t blame reddit for wanting to be profitable,either. They just went about it in the worst, most confrontational way possible. They insulted the people who gave reddit all of its content, and alienated their core users.
Even if Huffman had been nicer about it, though, no amount of diplomacy would make up for the fact that their API pricing is ridiculous. Nor would it make their complete inflexibility and stubbornness more palatable. The arrogance and disrespect they’ve shown is astounding. Trying to “fix” that with pretty words, but without actually changing their plans, would be like trying to polish a turd.
I think there would still be a massive protest. The only difference would be the tone.
I know this is kind of shitty of me, but at first, I didn’t care much. “Tragedies happen every day, and they knew what they were getting in to,” I thought.
If anyone has withstood this ordeal for so long, though, they deserve to survive. If this is true, I hope at least one person is rescued.
"The broad attention is showing the world what local leaders have spent the past half-century trying to prove: This desert city can be a major player in global tech and manufacturing."...
This is like Godzilla and Mothra arguing about who should pay to rebuild downtown Tokyo after one of their brawls. Meanwhile, the citizens don’t care who pick up the tab. They just want it done.
The Biden administration last month urged the EU to reject the forced payments proposed by European ISPs, saying the plan "could give operators a new bottleneck over customers, raise costs for end users, and alter incentives for CAPs/LTGs [content and application providers and large traffic generators] to make efficient decisions regarding network investment and interconnection."
The Biden administration also said payments from tech firms may violate net neutrality principles, saying that it "is difficult to understand how a system of mandatory payments imposed on only a subset of content providers could be enforced without undermining net neutrality."
So… did someone from the administration even bother writing this themselves, or did they just copy/paste what Meta sent them?
Never apologize for encouraging accuracy, especially on the internet!
Besides, any wet blanket tendencies are more than made up for by that absurd picture of Tate on the page you linked to. Also, I had forgotten about the “small dick energy” thing. Thanks for the laughs!
