As a person from Denmark; I'm fine thanks.

Dev behind massive Skyrim multiplayer mod turns their hands to Starfield, gives up because "this game is f***ing trash," uploads everything for someone else to finish

Thing is Skyrim wasn't particularly handcrafted or lively either, the models for things like dungeons were repeated all the time and the NPC liveliness was lacklustre compared to eurojank games like Gothic.

Kansas will pay $1 million over the murder of a boy torture victim whose body was fed to pigs
Since I have become a parent I can't stand to read things like this.
How anyone can be this cruel, is beyond me.

Depends doesn’t it? If I make a song that is listened to zero times, I wouldn’t expect to get a payout that equals Spotify subscriber income split by amount of songs. Disregarding the popularity.
The entertainment business, is a one-to-many business and money follows whomever sits at the top of the pyramid. And it was the exactly the same before the streaming era.

I assume they said it was due to other reasons than obscurity, although we know better.

The world’s 280 million electric bikes and mopeds are cutting demand for oil far more than electric cars

Extremely popular in urban areas in Denmark.
An electric cargo bike has replaced our car in our family of 2 adults and 2 small kids.
But it's a good idea to bring the battery inside with you in the winter.

As much as like to shit on Apple for many other reasons, they've had fairly few mishaps with their phones. Even counting bending phones, "you're holding it wrong" etc., their track record is still decent compared to the competition.

That's a fringe scenario. Try imagining something that would happen on a more daily basis.

As an European (which also means I'm much more politically aligned with AOC), isn't she far too progressive for the popular vote?
While I'm in no doubt it would be what was best for the US, does she have the numbers to beat the insurrectionist?

No one’s ready for this: Our basic assumptions about photos capturing reality are about to go up in smoke.

Exactly, it was already established that pictures from untrusted sources are to be disregarded unless they can be verified by trusted sources.
It is basically how it has been forever with the written press: Just like everyone now has the capability to manipulate a picture. Everyone can write we are being invaded by aliens, but whether we should believe it is another thing.
It might take some time for the general public to learn this, but it should be a focus area of general schooling within the area of source criticism.

This German nonprofit is building an open voice assistant that anyone can use
We don't need more models, improve on the Open Source ones we already have.
We need better hardware with long ranging microphones that can isolate the voice.
I'm still waiting for something I can put in my rooms, I can even make use of my Sonos speakers for audio output, so it's really just the microphone.

How do you organize your DHCP clients?
I use it for enterprise scale infrastructure deployments. But for a home network, it seems like unnecessary work.

In Denmark you get two options, you can buy an unlocked phone with cash. Or purchase a subscription with it, and the provider gives you some incentive for it. The subscription is locked for 6 months which is the max by law.
If I buy a phone with the subscription, the discount means you would usually pay 80% of the phones value.
That locks you to a subscription for 6 months that is usually more expensive than the other offers out there, but the difference doesn't make up for the reduced price of the phone over the 6 month period.
So you are actually saving money, as long as you remember to switch to a cheaper subscription after the 6 months pass. The telecom of course hopes you don't, and that's their incentive for taking a hit on profit in the short term. It buys them marketshare.

Vi kunne ikke håbe på en bedre ambassadør end vi har i Andreas Mogensen.
Han kommer til at inspirere en masse danske unge til at søge imod videnskaben som levevej.
Også kadeau til DR, Experimentariet og andre parter for at bruge begivenheden til at sprede læring og nysgerrighed.

2023 Tour de France - Stage 14
I hope the comments about TJV saving their riders yesterday were true, and we will see all-out war today.
At the same time Kwiatkowski's win yesterday must have inspired more people to go for a breakaway today. A Pog/Vinge win is not a given.
