It is madness, it’s very disheartening how many signs I see for him where I live. Like, how the hell do people not see this guy for what he is?

Tinkerers Are Taking Old Redbox Kiosks Home and Reverse Engineering Them
It’s crazy to me that a company can just abandon hundreds (or thousands?) of 700 pound machines all over the place like this. I feel like there should be some kind of court order for the person last in charge of the company to drive the fuck around the country and clean up their mess.

Windows 11 now supports USB4 at 80Gbps, also known as USB 4 2.0 | Faster USB4 devices could start appearing in 2024
“USB 4 2.0”… someone should really do something about the incredibly goofy naming scheme.

Diplomacy dies on live TV as Trump and Vance gang up to bully Ukraine leader
I just can't understand why Vance would interpret Zelenskyy as being disrespectful for politely, calmly, and carefully articulating his point of view on how diplomacy has failed him and his country. Vance seems like the type of person I would basically laugh at and walk away from if I were in a situation to have to hear him be "alpha and in-charge".
It was like watching a scene from an episode of a reality TV show from the early 2000s.

‘Being short is a curse’: the men paying thousands to get their legs broken – and lengthened
Fucking hell. I mean... fuck.
I wish the world would lose all of its stupid societal stigmas that make people feel less human than their equally human peers.

I’m not necessarily surprised this one didn’t get a sequel, but I really wish it had!

Hackintosh is (almost) dead
An interesting and, sadly, accurate read. I will miss building my Hacks, but I knew as soon as Apple announced their switch to arm64 that the good times were over.
Maybe sometime in the future we’ll have a powerful and open arm64 system that we can somehow run Apple Silicon macOS on?

It really is nightmarish. I don’t know how else to say it. Something’s gotta give, but I’m afraid it’s not going to.

Algorithms are breaking how we think | Technology Connections
Great video, thanks for posting! This guy articulated a lot of thoughts about algorithmic recommendations that I've never been quite able to form into coherent thoughts myself. I definitely understand why I decided to go all in with the fediverse or social web half a decade ago or so now.

iPod fans evade Apple’s DRM to preserve 54 lost clickwheel-era games
I had completely forgotten about iPod games! I think there was one called Vortex that I liked a lot and there was also game version of the show LOST that I only played because I was a mega-fan of the show that was otherwise very frustrating.
Also a great example of why DRM sucks.

What's the worst someone got away with doing to you?
I had a drunk driver crash into my car parked in front of my house at 3:15 in the afternoon and completely totaled the car. He sped away as I watched and so I called the police. They did catch up with him, but ultimately when it went to court the district attorney dropped the ball on some document details and the fuckhead basically got out of any sort of restitution. He did have his license revoked and probation, but my family no longer had a car and it seriously fucked us for well over a year.
I live in a small town and a couple years later I found out that the guy is not only related to the local judge, but also the district attorney.

That’s exactly what I keep thinking about, to hell with what the controlling forces say, the two options in front of those residents aren’t really options. I can’t wrap my head around what that must be like.

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia: state appeal denied by 4th circuit [PRIMARY SOURCE]
I'd like to see more posts like this honestly, I know reading these things aren't for everyone, but having the actual document and (hopefully) the discussion of it is exactly how I'd like to be getting my news and information these days. I'm tired of our filtered world.
Some serious judicial indictment of the federal government to be found in there regarding the disregard of the constitution.
“The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order."
Yeah.

Is there an actor you can't stand? Do they have any exceptions?
Jared Leto (I don't know why, I just really don't like him), but there are no roles of his that I like. In fact, he has ruined a few movies for me. I was actually really excited about Tron: Ares until the casting was revealed.

The Pixelfed developer is actively working to get a streamlined solution for Starter Packs out for all kinds of ActivityPub servers that will use existing APIs and methods that already exist within the protocol. He mentioned it should be available in beta in a day or two.
