"What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all." - Valery Legasov from Chernobyl, a Miniseries on HBO

surely I cannot be the only person who finds it annoying af when Uber or Grab drivers are wearing headphones, and constantly chatting with someone rather than paying attention to the actual road they are allegedly safely navigating to get me to my destination without issue

Unsurprisingly SG tops the list again, w/JP & SK tied for 2nd. What I do find interesting is the US tied for 10th, falling behind UAE, and most of Europe. Ultimately, not a significant difference since US passports nets access to 182 countries vs SG's 193✈️ www.henleyglobal.com/passport-ind...

i understand all these tech youtubers reviewing new tech, endlessly explaining the specs ad nauseam. this does not provide any real value give me feedback after exclusively using the product for 2-4 weeks. no spec walkthrough. just real world usage, and then how that compares to similar products

Not everything in the cyber threat intelligence industry is broken. But too much is warped just enough to matter. "What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world." — Morpheus, The Matrix, 1999

Finding myself falling out of love with my Apple Watch. It no longer supports me, but competes for my attention. I want a beautifully crafted, Rolex-like analog watch honoring elegance and fine craftsmanship, while offering the fitness tracking of an Apple Watch. Surely someone is working on this🤔

Something new is coming. Now that CyCon 2025 in Tallinn, Estonia has concluded, this feels like the right moment to publicly, and somewhat officially, announce @praeryx.com

no idea how i am just now coming across this version of Time by Hans Zimmer, from Inception, but it is incredible. the emotion is yanks from your heart is amazing yet wrenching at the same time. such a lovely piece youtu.be/uAcALH67-2A?...

this is not going to end well therecord.media/hegseth-orde...

this relentless slaughter just keeps piling on more ruthless carnage, and watching the chiefs spiral into full-blown panic is nothing short of delicious. this is absolute devastation, and i am feasting on it again, fsck both the eagles and the chiefs!

this is a fscking massacre

here is the longer form of my thoughts about migrating my site off of wordpress, moving to ghost, and thoughts on data ownership and the future jark.me/blog/rebuild...

not that my own little personal site means anything in the grand scheme of things, but after using wordpress religiously for almost 20 years, i have migrated jark.me over to Ghost Pro

okay tokyo, it is time to break free from this relentless cold. raise the temperature, push beyond the single digits, and let the air carry something more than a lingering chill consider increasing the temperature to at least be in the mid-teens. this daily sub-10°c existence is not doing it for me

if X is your main news source, you are not informed, you are indoctrinated. it is an echo chamber of outrage, where keyboard warriors recycle propaganda and call it truth if you believe california is the pinnacle of corruption, your critical thinking needs a full system reboot

Wisdom comes from many voices but truth comes from within Listen, learn, leverage perspective. Take in advice from those you trust, family, friends, mentors, and allies, but never let their words drown out your own intuition. The mind analyzes, the heart hopes, but the gut knows

Every ride is a step forward, whether pushing limits or simply showing up. Habits are built in the quiet moments, when discipline outweighs motivation. Muscle memory matters as much as endurance. Momentum is everything. Even the smallest ride keeps the mind ready for more saiklr.com/blog/virtual...

pardoning ulbricht is crazy. running a black market empire for drugs & weapons is one thing, but ordering murder-for-hire hits on people is next level depravity. ulbricht is not some tech-savvy libertarian. his sentence may have been whack but the crimes are real www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

steam deck oled is looking more and more like a potential. with all the travel, seems it will be a solid time killer for airports, flights, long drives, and general down time in the hotel room

am i missing something or is there really no easy way to find people to follow in pixelfed? don’t see any simple method unless im just completely blind

kinda unbelievable for her to talk smack about arguably one of the better government agencies doing actual solid, quality, good work. i highly doubt she can make it better, particularly if she is focusing on cutting its budget. what a shame

I really want to see pixelfed succeed but right now the iOS and Android apps are buggy af and insanely slow. yes, it’s open source and being developed without any major financial backing, but that is no excuse. I am sure in time it will grow into a much better tool, so it will remain on my radar

cannot remember the last time I hit my weekly ride goal, so this feels amazing, particularly because I ensured the mental torture of indoor cycling💪🏼 weekly goal is 180km, and I still have a day to go. gotta keep this trend alive

this looks so stupid that it may actually be a fun watch youtu.be/husMGbXEIho?...

amazing words from mathhew mcconaughey. cannot believe i am just now listening to this incredible speech for the first time in 2025 youtu.be/QbL0X3B4mjg?...

cycling indoors on a trainer like the wahoo kickr really sucks, but is a necessary evil for winter. when it is insanely cold outside my body outright refuses to even consider hopping on a bike outdoors. the only way to get back into shape is through the mental torture called indoor cycling

Happy New Year to all. May 2025 be an amazing, healthy, and prosperous year for all🎉

children categorically should not be allowed in hotel executive lounges. the entire point is to have a quiet space to get work done, which absolutely cannot happen when a child is throwing a tantrum

sitting at breakfast in the hotel executive lounge, and saw something for the first time: toast with baked beans spread across it, as if that were a peanut butter spread of sorts. is this .. normal? considering how many hotels I stay at yearly, i have never seen this before today

the desert sand dunes in dubai possessed a tranquil beauty, evoking subtle whispers of timeless winds. although their grandeur did not rival the awe-inspiring magnificence of the sahara in morocco (what really does?), they still embodied a quiet dignity and grace www.instagram.com/p/DDqYFWEvcxT/

every time i go to dubai or singapore, where the outdoor temperature is *much* hotter than Tokyo right now, i freeze my ass off when indoors. even in my hotel room i cannot set a comfortable climate, always feeling cold. its so weird how i need to wear winter clothes when chilling inside🥶

it is crazy how @flexibits.com has had "merge identical events" as an option in Fantastical (iOS and macOS) for as long as i can remember, yet not a single Android calendar app has this feature. wtf is this not included in any third-party app? logically, it does not seem difficult to implement
