Google buys crashed airline Spirit’s data at auction, because AI
Wonderful. Because now that the airline doesn't operate anymore, who cares about the privacy of those has - been - customers or the data that was in those emails, right?
/s
Imagine this was a currently operating business. Or practically everyone's supposedly "private" documents in their Cloud Drive that Google was training their AI on ... wait a second...

Terrorist attack in Montreal
Holy guac this is insane and insanely tragic ...
The cop crawling to the front of that white car is definitely dead, looks like he had already been shot when the video started.
His female colleague then appears to shoot a civilian in the dark top who pops up behind the barricade/wall (but in that situation I don't know what I would do, the other cop next to me just got shot dead).
And then the shooter in camouflage gear runs up, it looks like she spots him and actually is able to shoot at him while reportedly getting shot at & surviving herself. And then the shooter hides behind the white barricade, appears to reload or fiddle with his weapon, but maybe grasp at his wound? And just ... keels over? At first it looked like he was trying to get on the ground to me, but the more I'm looking at it, the more it looks like he just died then and there.

Life in your 30s

As someone who is some of those things as well, I would love to know what the wife and/or child are doing during all those activities. Because something has to give when you're doing that much.
In my experience, that balance is really hard, and even in the most hospitable, high-quality-of-life places, that balance is not exactly always something that is nurtured and valued by the systems in place.

What is something you SHOULD cheap out on?
Reply in thread
For headphones, DEFINITELY not true in my experience. There’s cheap and gimmicky (like Skullcandy), there’s perceived “luxury” brands like Beats (which aren’t actually worth their money) but then there’s brands that actually offer significantly better quality and longevity for the price, like Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, Audio-Technica and Sony to name a few.

Texas resident used Apple AirTags to discover plastics taken to Houston recycling centers aren't being recycled
Did you guys read the article? It says that the recyclables are “sitting in an open lot, waiting to be recycled” but the processing facility doesn’t have the machinery to do so yet. It will in a few months, when it is scheduled to start recycling plastics.
I’m the first person to bring upthe whole “tons of recyclables just end up on a garbage dump” thing, but this article (or at least the way it’s posted here on lemmy) feels rage-baity.

See you goon
Whoa! I actually recognized this. It's an art installation at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport's D-Gates! My son was climbing into one of the letters, so I guess that memory is somehow burned into my brain. Fascinating.
It's supposed to say "So Go On"

Do any of us host their own email?
I do, a bit differently from what’s been mentioned here so far:
I actually host my server at home, running mailcow as my email-server-software of choice, and incoming emails do get delivered directly to my ISP-assigned IP via dynamically updated DNS records.
However: Outgoing email is delivered via an SMTP relay service, specifically Mailgun (I like them because for normal everyday email volume it’s free), because even when I was hosting the email server in a datacenter, it was impossible to not encounter deliverability issues.

What's something good that's happened to you this month?
Money is not overly abundant currently. Today we got a notice in the mail from our landlords that our rent is being lowered by 20 bucks a month (yes, you read that right, lowered) and we have been overpaying on our utilities so we're getting some money back which, incidentally, can then go directly to our upcoming electricity payment haha.
That felt like things working out nicely out of the blue.

In Gaza, the IDF sniped a child then used him as bait to kill whoever tried to rescue or retrieve the body
Seriously what is this timeline we are living in. What are these fellow humans doing? What is happening in the world???? That could be my child. That could have been you and your father in some alternative timeline.
Fuck this. FUCK

Messaging app Signal is currently experiencing server issues.
Seems like everything is back to normal, at least from what I can tell on my end and a lot of other users’ reports.

Gimp 3.2 is officially released. The game has changed. Adobe just got punched in the face.
Reply in thread
It means GIMP is constantly improving but there is still quite a bit of room for improvement, where, maybe in comparison to an established industry standard such as Photoshop, it does not leave nearly as much to be desired.

Apple plans to update iPhones in-store without opening the boxes
Reply in thread
Obviously they can’t. They place them on a pad, presumably a wireless charging & communication pad. Literally says in the article: “The pad wirelessly turns on the iPhone, runs the software update, then turns it off again.”
