yeah i’ve come not to expect anything good from modern netflix, not just with documentaries but in general. the only reason i still have access is because of password sharing but even then i still never watch & it’s free lmao

yeah, i did with my last partner too but i wouldn’t exactly recommend it as the first option considering how unsafe it was & some of the experiences my friends have had up there

saw this earlier from an old twitter tab, thought my browser had been hijacked with some extension. what an amateurish logo, looks like what a tiny business puts up on their wordpress when they have no designers & are only making a logo because they have to, definitely not what i’d expect from one of the biggest social media sites in the world. elon has been fixated on the whole x thing for literal decades now & that’s the best logo he came up with?

i thought i was the only one who knew about this game lol, i agree it’s a very good game & a lot more polished than 2048

Samsung confirms ‘slimmer and lighter’ Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5, teases tablets and watches (9to5google.com)

tl;dr: samsung confirms the z fold 5, z flip 5, tab 9, & both watch 6 models. with the foldables, they’re adopting a new hinge design that will finally remove the hinge gap from the previous models. they also hint at even more cross-device connectivity in one ui.

welcome! i created my account over a month ago but i agree, this is the most civil & “cozy” site i’ve seen in a while since small niche blogs & forums were actually a thing. places like this have been rare af since the late 2010s, so it’s refreshing to see such a place with this many users

Startup aims to make lab-grown human eggs, transforming options for creating families (www.npr.org)

tl;dr: a biotech startup named conception has made breakthroughs in the field of in vitro gametogenesis, a process which allows labs to grow an induced pluripotent stem cell into a full-fledged human egg. this technology can allow women who can’t produce eggs to still be able to have kids, & for same-sex couples to have babies...

same here, the optimist (& diablo fan) in me is hoping that microsoft/xbox will make them a good enough company to where i feel comfortable giving them my money again, but the cynical part of my mind is just telling me that they’ll probably just go “welp, kotick’s gone, diablo 4 on game pass everyone!” then go “hands off” & just ignore the company aside from uploading their games to gamepass & funding them, like they did with arkane. hope i’m wrong though

yeah, its getting a little worrying how they’re just buying the game market now, especially when you remember how horrible gates & ballmer era microsoft was with anticompetition

Where did all the Sriracha go? Sauce shortage hiking prices to $70 in online markets (www.cbsnews.com)

tl;dr: sriracha is selling for ~$40-$70 a bottle due to a shortage of red jalapeño crops, caused by climate change (specifically, extremely hot, dry weather as well as landslide effects from various climate events in the previous years). huy fong says sriracha is resuming limited production but did not specify when this...

nihilx7E3,
@nihilx7E3@beehaw.org avatar

Wasn’t there a Sriracha shortage this time last year too?

yeah, there was also one in 2020, & a lot of people (myself included) had trouble getting it in parts of 2021 too. huy fong’s had supply issues for years now & it doesn’t seem like they’re ever getting out of it with how high demand sriracha is

Because I bought a bunch of it and then realized the post-underwood Sriracha was not the same. It’s too sweet now with not enough heat.

agreed, that combined with the insane prices & the fact that hf sriracha is spending more time out of stock than in is the reason i’m giving up on the brand & moving on to other sauces, the last 2 bottles of huy fong we had cost ~$40 a few months ago, & we all agreed it wasn’t really worth the price at all

nihilx7E3,
@nihilx7E3@beehaw.org avatar

yeah, i mentioned them fucking over underwood in my post lol. i wouldn’t say it’s solely because of that situation, as climate change is the reason their various cheaper suppliers don’t have as many reds to sell in the first place, but losing underwood basically lost them their safety net for situations like this

nihilx7E3,
@nihilx7E3@beehaw.org avatar

thanks for the recommendation (@dax too), been looking for different brands to replace huy fong

Reddit removes years of chat and message archives from users' accounts (mashable.com)

Reddit recently removed years of chat and message archives from users’ accounts without warning as part of an infrastructure upgrade. Many Redditors were upset to discover that their chat histories from before January 2023 were no longer accessible. Reddit claims they only migrated data from 2023 forward during the transition...

you’d be surprised, I’ve heard from other reddit users that entire discord servers, wikis, & other communities would first start from reddit group chats so apparently there were a lot super involved in it. one of the big community partnered discord servers I was in told me the only reason they were on discord at first was because reddit chat made it hard to search old messages

How Hype (Passkeys) Will Turn Your Security Key Into Junk (fy.blackhats.net.au)

tl;dr: passkeys, as proposed now, will fill up existing fido2/webauthn authenticators if the feature becomes widespread enough. this is because the feature of “passkeys” actually refer to resident keys, which most authenticators today can only store a limited amount of (some, none at all!). preventing this will require...

yeah the new blood in the internal microsoft teams love rust now, some of the windows team guys have been consistently talking about an internal shift towards rust on twitter since last year. the rust win32k drivers & userspace libraries actually dropped in but for whatever reason the kernel wouldn’t actually use the new rust codepaths even if you loaded & enabled them

man, as someone who used to be so into foss/privacy i refused to use anything that i couldn’t compile/host & giving out my gpg key to friends, & someone who used to always make charged, sweeping generalizations like the title of this article, reading this just made me remember why people didn’t like to talk tech with me. i was so focused on always spouting why every app/software/os everyone used was “evil” (with poorly thought out & overcharged arguments, because i was coming from a place of anger & “justice” rather than logic) that i became insufferable to have a conversation with. i’m not gonna knock the author too much because i know it comes from a place of passion & morals, but this person has really fallen into the trap of radical black & white thinking that plagues the field of foss so much.

op, if you are the author of the post (or if the author happens to be reading), my advice to you if you want to reach people better would be to avoid generalizing/judging (& any non-logical statements at all) when advocating for foss/against propietary services. always blame the companies, not the users, because most users are just uninformed. remember that software is not a political or moral issue to most people, it’s just a tool & they don’t research or know anything about it beyond that. all that headline is doing is losing the target audience - no one likes to be told they’re “morally lazy” for simply texting their friends & not knowing about issues in an app. if you are going to post sweeping judgements like this, then at least make sure the article is at least finished before you throw it out there, or else it’s gonna leave a really bad taste in people’s mouth.

on a positive note, the rest of the site is really cool; reminds me of the site i used to have up in high school. i really liked the “places” & “strong women” sections on the abyss page.

good fandom sites are the ugliest & most bloated sites i’ve ever seen & used, & the only site that i’ve seen use 25-50% of the CPU (a wiki page with a lot of videos &/or gallery pages will do this every single time) while ublock is actively blocking ads. like, wtf
