Can I go a year without news of someone I knew and actively talked with dying? -.- It's really unnerving and I don't know how to process this. Year and a half and death # 4

The Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital in Knoxville has unveiled a new lounge that features a kitchenette, showers, sleep pods, workspaces and washer and drier facilities for waiting families of children in intensive care: www.wate.com/news/knox-co...

Hi, technologist with prior hardcore moderation experience here, this is literally impossible without making a heavily commercial whitelist-only printer. So functionally it means California has to ban 3D printers unless they're heavily commercialized ones made by tech bro companies. Neat huh.

I spent more time on this piece than almost anything else I've written in the last year. Building a better, more decentralized internet is an inherent necessity if you want a functioning democracy. I hope people find it a useful encapsulation of where we're at. www.liberalism.org/p/enshittifi...

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

Question for lawyers out there - How would someone protect themself from a company changing the written terms of sale on their product website after the sale, claiming the rewritten terms were the original terms, and having sent a DMCA takedown to all archive websites of the document in question?

Been browsing VGen but might as well ping here as well looking to hire live2D modellers looking for work. If you rig as well, that's a bonus, but primarily looking for folk who can make assets for live2D!

The conflict between vuln discovers and vendors has been the locus of cybersecurity for 40 years. The article below understates how important it is that Microsoft has cross the line threatening criminal retribution.

Backup day here. If you do any sort of creative work (or collect/purchase/save such materials digitally), protect yourself from headache and heartache in the future!

I'm working on a column about the tech annoyances that drive us crazy, and I want it to be as universal as possible, so tell me yours! E.g. scanning a QR code to read a menu, never receiving the one-time passcode they supposedly texted you, "verify you're human" by IDing tiny motorcycles, etc.

Everybody be quiet and look at this baby toucan.

one thing which is kind of weird about the last five years in silicon valley is the attitude of seething hatred for employees coming from the C-Suite -- one which even other executives, in private, seem bewildered by

A market correction is badly needed to force the stock market to better reflect the actual economy. Without a correction, increasingly the only people who will be able to afford much in the economy are those with stocks. A.k.a. The rich (and retirees) get richer and everyone else gets poorer.

What a man. A dragon-man.

I take it back, YT has my algorithm dialed in. Anyone know these furs that cameo? youtu.be/DfsPNZlRA_Y?...

I feel energized today!

My YouTube feed has been showing me more and more videos about crows and I'm all for it. I want a crow friend!

I recall posts on Hacker News promoting how AI could summarize your mail for you. Responses of "this is not a feature I want" and "I want to read my own mail, unaltered, without an AI summary" were evidently ignored. Some idiot at Google thinks replacing all human connection with AI is positive

Fuck no. Talk about a captive audience.

Increasing daily anxiety...to the point where I wonder if I should get a prescription to address it. Last time I did though, it felt like it drained much of the remaining color from experiencing life. Hrm....perplexing! Thankfully it doesn't have a commanding influence over my emotions.

Despite this extensive surveillance, China only has 450 data centers. So, what data is the US gathering that would justify the need for 5,000 data centers, which is 15 times the number of data centers in China, with only a quarter of the population? Think about it.

IMPORTANT UPDATE I'm increasing the discount from 10% to 20% until May 31. I almost have no new commissions for June, and that's not good. I have no savings, so not having projects lined up is an emergency. Those who have already paid will be moved from June to May.

You: please act normal, you need these people to like you Me: ok! People: hi Me: The three types of color receptors in the human eye are not equally distributed. Green is most abundant, blue under 10%. This is why blue signage in a strip mall is difficult to read at night vs other colors.

Haaaalp. I'm stuck in my own head and can't escape.

BREAKING: Boston City Council just unanimously passed a resolution condemning dangerous age verification and censorship laws, including the proposals put forward by @massgovernor.bsky.social and the MA House. Backlash to age gating social media is growing! www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2026-05...

I'm...not entirely certain why I'm having a sustained anxiety attack today. It's highly distracting and energy-zapping.
