It's quite spectactular. I think the politcs on both sides are awful, and I really feel for the civillians who are just trying to live their lives under this bullshit. Both sides need to step up and take responsibility for their major, horrific fuckups and problems; and the west in general needs to take responsibility for kicking people out of their homes to make homes for others... but also both sides just need to stop fucking hurting each other for a minute in order to progress.

Ahem... I think you mean, "hexagons are the bestagons"

It was a term coined to describe the step-by-step process modern tech platforms go through:

1. be good, get customers, grow
2. get large enough to corner market, concentrate on profits
3. get large enough to move to politicise their approach, drive out competition through aggressive tactics, and lock in consumers
4. drive more profit through dark patterns and ensure nobody wins but the stakeholders

It's specifically that, and there wasn't a word that described that process previously, as it's only something that's possible in a modern, "web scale" worldwide platform.

Wrong bird. Picture has 4 combs, on the horse there's 3.

So I googled what the background level of Tritium is in seawater. The general consensus is that this various based upon where in the world you are, but it's typically around 500 - 750 becquerels of tritium per m^3^. The amount they're releasing is 190 becquerels of tritium per m^3^, or in other words, they're reducing the average tritum radioactivity of the water...

So why is this news? Why haven't the journalists gone, "Stupid people don't understand how radioactivity and volumetrics work, and are complaining about the Japanese releasing water that is so highly treated it's cleaner than the ocean average."?

--edit-- Not going to edit the above, but @[email protected] correctly pointed out I'd got my units wrong... and then they got their units wrong replying. And that's why we need good journalism who can actually look into this fucking stuff properly, and give reasoned responses!

I love this concept... it takes the humanity out of alien/foreign/different races. If done properly, you can easily conceptualise different views of the world. Something like the sort of thing John Scalzi has done with his works - let's work through how a different viewpoint actually works and then work out where the jagged edges are - all of a sudden, the different races are fighting with each other because they see the world diferently and don't communicate properly so they assume all of the others think the same way (because they can't concieve of anythign else without looking that far into it) and boom you've got a realistic world with in-built fracture lines...

Aw, crapitalism will break because line cannot always go up.

Cry me a fucking river. Humanity is a cancer, and we need to be about half our current population. Yeah, we're not gonna like it when we drop that population. Our kids, my daughter, are going to have it fucking tough. But if we want to survive long term... We gotta stop.

I think they meant to say "Narrowly avoiding injuring a pedestrian", but that's really bad proofreading.

You watch, I'm going to have some horrific spelling or grammar issue now :P

ExplainXKCD to the rescue :D

That's weird... I've done interviews from both sides, and that's just weird. Glad you got through to 2nd round, though!

I... quite like that, you know. That was Bing Dall-E with the prompt, "Make me an image of LazerFX"

Yeah.

Been there... Last night, in fact. Sleep timer went off, quarter to eleven. Just took about an hour to download gow: ragnarok on pc, had half an hour playing. "Ok, just a few minutes..."

3am this morning... "Ok, I'm now impaired enough that I'm fucking fights up... Better go to bed."

In one sentence, you say, "just use a password manager", on the next, "not really an improvement if you need extra software". I'm not sure what argument you're having, but neither one really addresses what this article is about.

This keeps the passkeys in the password manager (I use dashlane, it rocks, and synchronises the passkeys just like the passwords), but this new protocol allows you to change and export the passkeys to other password managers, preventing vendor lock in and allowing for transfer to another password manager.

Hope this clarifies things! And everyone should use a password manager of some kind; we should expect whatever site we're using to be hacked, and the only way to be safe is to have a unique password per site.

I... Am really struggling to figure out if this is satire or an actual "meant" comment. I mean, they're taking lyrics and the logo from one of Pink Floyd's most famous albums; on the other hand they're invoking "woke" shibboleths in a weird way... Not knowing the context, who the Xitter user is and just looking at the image, it feels like something you'd create to poke fun at those who routinely chant, "woke" as if it's a bad thing...

I'm really trying to do this with my daughter too - she's 7 and it's getting hard at times because she's wanting space, but I'll give her that as she wants it. Unless it is safety related of course...

And that's because SpaceX at least try to minimise pollution (both light and radio). Not successfully, but it's minimised.

The Chinese don't give a fuck, just like they don't give a fuck who their toxic rockets land on when launched over their own people.

This is an intruiging subject. I was part of reddit's /r/patientgamers subreddit (lurking, mostly) because it was a good place to get insight into valuable gems that I missed first time through because I didn't have time or didn't want to spend £60 or £70 on a brand new game, and would rather wait for a sale.

Nowadays, I generally wait for Game Pass, Ubi+, PS+ or similar to get the game. Sure, I spend on subscriptions, but the games I play if I count out the costs it's a lot cheaper.

I do also play retro games - 'retro' being an ambivalent term for me, as it somehow is used pejoratively throughout the modern gaming community, which I disagree with: They're good games, just not on modern hardware or systems - quite often. So - yeah, sometimes I lag, sometimes I'm up-to-date, oftentimes I'm on my Steam Deck so I get to play slightly older games at a high fidelity on a handheld device, which is awesome.
