Accuweather’s entire plan is to destroy free access to NWS data and charge people for access that they have. Trump’s just making it a reality and Accuweather’s laying their groundwork right now.

YouTube uses lower quality options on browsers running on Arm-based systems — misreporting as an x86 CPU appears to be a widespread browser fix

Google chooses codecs based on what it guesses your hardware will decode. (iPhones get HEVC, Android gets VP9, etc) They just didn’t put much thought into arm based home devices outside of a specific few like the shield.

The shady world of Brave selling copyrighted data for AI training
Reply in thread
Brave’s been super shady its entire existence. They’ve been caught linkjacking and accepting “donations” for websites that don’t have accounts (so theft via fraud).

Justin Roiland used his ‘Rick and Morty’ fame to pursue young fans, text messages show
Reply in thread
Dan Harmon was super problematic in his own way. His difference was he apologized to the people he wronged in a way that they accepted, and seems to have changed his behavior. His change in behavior seems to be part of what left Justin out to dry as Dan no longer came to work intoxicated, but Roiland just kept doing it.

Joe Rogan and Bret Weinstein Promote AIDS Denialism to an Audience of Millions

Zidovudine killed thousands? Bullshit. Magic Johnson is alive today because of Antiretrovirals, of which AZT was the first.
The median survival time of AIDS patients on azidothymidine was 4.5 times higher when compared to a historical AIDS group who had not received the drug.

Fetterman has to be one of the biggest disappointments for the left in recent memory
Reply in thread
He’s got some strange agriculture sponsored bills, banning oil sales from the strategic reserve, but most of his sponsored bills are aimed at helping low income people stay in housing, some pro union stuff, and a bit of fuckcars. He literally sponsored a bill to cancel school meal debt at the federal level. Not sure why he’s getting blasted here as a Republican other than idiocy that he’s not a AOC clone by the “Palestine became my only issue in the last 5 months” folks.
A bill to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to ensure that striking workers and their households do not become ineligible for benefits under the supplemental nutrition assistance program, and for other purposes.
Yea… Real Republican stance. /s

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Heartbleed vulnerability in OpenSSL, which had the same ultimate root cause as recent XZUtils backdoor incident
This entire post is asinine. The root cause of Heartbleed was the RFC was fucked. A German graduate student wrote and implemented an RFC, and was then reviewed by the only full time (and paid) member of the OpenSSL team. Claiming it was because it wasn’t funded is stupid on its face as Dr. Henson was paid for his review.
XZ’s problem was that the maintainer had a mental breakdown and lacking structure to vet the replacement, he handed control off to what seems like a very sophisticated attack group. Money would not have fixed one of the fundamental problems with anarchistic-style code production, which is how do you trust the people who vet the code?

bread is metal
Beer’s similar: Give beer sugars, the yeast generates poison to try and prevent other microorganisms from surviving and eventually the yeast poisons its own environment enough that it can no longer continue living.

That’s not true. In fact, exposure to disease is more likely to cause lasting harm than non-exposure. Get a vaccine, not sick.

The House Republicans’ plan to cut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for the rich would slash incomes for the bottom 40%: See impact by state
Reply in thread
It just doesn’t make any fucking sense: They’re acting like there will be no more elections, which, OK: That’s Trump’s dream, but they’re pissing off everyone they need to pull that off. The bureaucrats, the military, and a sizable chunk of the true believers to replace the turnover that happens in authoritarian rule are needed to hold onto power.

Israeli military rescues four hostages alive from Gaza, including Noa Argamani

Nah, that was the one that Egypt fucked up. There had not been an actual agreed upon hostage transfer since the first one. Hamas also won’t give actual information on the hostages. This whole thing is just war crimes the whole way down.

I really had to look this up, and Jesus fuck, this is real. Bronx Zoo figured out tigers liked Obsession, then researchers in Central America would use it to get jaguars to rub up on certain items in front of cameras so they could record them and go out to gather up fur samples. Farmers noticed from the researchers that you could draw Jaguars to the area with the scent, and herbivores avoid areas frequented by Jaguars, so keep some scented items near your fields and things jaguars like to eat stay away.

Congress voted against funding a cure for cancer just to block a win for Biden

… But that was a Bush thing.
"You've got to read this," Fran Townsend remembers the president telling her. "He said, 'Look, this happens every 100 years. We need a national strategy.'"
Thus was born the nation's most comprehensive pandemic plan -- a playbook that included diagrams for a global early warning system, funding to develop new, rapid vaccine technology, and a robust national stockpile of critical supplies, such as face masks and ventilators, Townsend said.

Like, Regeneron and Moderna were direct US DARPA funding that came out because Bush was certain a new flu pandemic was enroute any day now.

They weren’t. They needed to get them on record supporting a horribly unpopular position so they could use it in the midterms. You’ll see a ton of votes that go nowhere like this that are just fodder for election bids.
