From the NYT reporting

Although Mr. Musk acknowledged that an extended boycott could bankrupt X, he suggested that the public would blame the brands rather than him for its collapse.

lol, yeah, sure.

Safari needs a tick in “copy urls without site tracking” since ios17 and macOS Sonoma

Actually GDPR says yes. “Legitimate Interest” means things like security, anti fraud etc.

I wish premium would stop trying to add more stuff. I only want ad free videos, just do that, rather than adding loads of crap no one wants and then charging more because of the ‘increased value’.

Yeah. There must be tons of places that would choose Slack, or another alternative, over Teams if they weren’t getting Teams bundled into a piece they were already paying.

It’s known performance will be poor, but if it was that bad the ton of YouTubers doing their preview coverage would have been reporting it.

Oh great, another key to accidentally press when I’m in a game.

Plus all the energy used in developing the feature in the first place. What a crock.

please take the time to absorb the magnitude and importance of what we’re all a part of

What that then? A fairly uninteresting and underperforming social media platform that hasn’t grown in years and is now falling apart. Woo, such importance.

I really don’t understand why reddit doesn’t just charge end uses for API access. Heck chuck it in with premium or something. They can generate an API that you use in whatever client you wanted.

I’d happily pay Reddit for a key to then use in Apollo, but bizarrely this isn’t an option. It’s not like Reddit lacks the ability to charge end users, they already have premium after all.

For anyone wanting a deep dive into how much of a scum bag this guy and his brother are then I can highly recommend the recent series on YouTube by ‘Common Sense Skeptic’ https://youtube.com/@commonsenseskeptic?si=AqKSiA55JOeTJeRo

I’d recommend anyone interested in the Voyager program to check out “It’s Quieter in the Twilight”. A film about the people involved in the project and how they’ve dedicated their lives to make it happen.

For folks in the UK if you’re in crisis contact the Samaritans https://www.samaritans.org/ call 116 123. It’s free and 24/7 and fully confidential. They’re helped me out in the past, don’t hesitate to call.

I won’t be at all surprised if Threads is not much more than a skin over the instagram backend, which would lead to these kind of outcomes. Folks like the think of a sinister reason, but I reckon a technical one is more likely.

It amazes me that anyone will fill in their actual date of birth on an online system outside of a government or bank system. Just put a fake one in, no one is going to check! Jeez.

There are two tiers of side quests in cyberpunk. Gigs and full on side quests. The gigs are all pretty short ‘go to place, shoot / rescue someone’ stuff but the main side quests are generally more involved, including all the romance options etc.

The gigs can be skipped without missing much, but skipping the side quests misses a ton of story IMO.

Apple already has their own thing for this https://httptoolkit.com/blog/apple-private-access-tokens-attestation/

An overblown issue, but this reversal of the video is a way better advert IMO https://x.com/rezawrecktion/status/1788211832936861950

Heh. A much as I think Trump is a grade A bellend, that was actually a decent recovery.
