Really tempted to pick up air riders, but my wallet would sure prefer I didn't.

The fact everyone called this as the real reason for this "investigation" is pretty wild. Do the magas really enjoy being the party of predators? It really seems like the answer is yes.

Decent advice for openwrt. As an alternative, Mikrotik makes multiple lower end consumer devices that would fit this price point, and they support their devices an awful long time. RouterOS is a great platform.

Also, if the current router is not supported (it probably is,) a decent option is the Linksys MR8300, widely available for ~$25 on eBay (see link) It is very well supported on OpenWrt, fully secure and fairly powerful (although not quite up to today's standards) www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_...

Astonishing and grotesque statement by Trump.

What the actual fuck, Apple

Winnipeg doing emergency alerting testing when the system fails every time there's any real incident is rather frustrating. What exactly are you testing.

remember when the previous board of OpenAI warned that Sam Altman was a greasy little shit who lied a lot and had all sorts of weird financial conflicts of interest and the entire tech press dismissed them all as crackpots? good times

many still do, of course, and will continue right up until the broader crash, at which point it will be all about "looking forward" and "not pointing fingers"

Well 1/4 days for sleep is frustrating. Hopefully tomorrow is better.

Someone needs to make a waterproof eink display that runs modern Android.

Hahaha go to hell this is embarrassing

Watching people say "GitHub is down, time to go back to CVS" and actually meaning it, is painful. A lot of people who claim to understand these things see no distinction between git and GitHub.

Cloudflare says the November 18 outage was caused by a change to one of its "database systems' permissions", not by "malicious activity of any kind" (Matthew Prince/Cloudflare) Main Link | Techmeme Permalink

... Using Sora for this is certainly a choice.

When I evacuated from the hurricane in 2005, the Red Cross offered us cash to help with expenses. The Salvation Army offered us "a hot meal" which was just a smoked sausage soaked in cheap barbecue sauce with a stale slice of white bread we had to say how thankful we were while getting preached at.

After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, killing millions of chickens and spiking egg prices, the federal government didn’t investigate if the virus was airborne. So ProPublica did. Absolutely terrifying reporting from @natlash.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/bird...

Wow, cloudflare and GitHub having a real weird one today.

Windows may install malware, but Microsoft promises the next Xbox will be super expensive and won't have any exclusives, so it all balances out in the end.

Every American newspaper's op-ed page should be focused on Jamal Khashoggi's life, work, and legacy for the rest of the week.

this is what is meant by "the optimal amount of fraud is not zero": if you overtune your fraud detection this much for a necessary service, you start swatting down legitimate users left and right and causing more grief than you're preventing.

if paypal wants to be the universal mandatory middleman (and they do), then they need to be held to a higher standard, by governments, than "we decided you're not allowed to pay for any goods and services because your OS/GPU combo from the browser fingerprint is pretty rare"

One of my favorite new titles in Shonen Jump: myanimelist.net/manga/188537

it is genuinely remarkable how ubiquitous ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER has been in online film spaces and yet you basically cannot encounter a stranger in person who has even heard of it

This doesn't seem particularly surprising, but that is still a ridiculous number. I'm curious what contributes to the longevity of some of them. I kinda understand why Grand Order remains popular, people love the property behind it.. many others confuse me though.

The Department of Unsubtle Metaphors continues to exceed expectations

Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten. For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.

Think I cracked 2025 capitalism. Going to ask Nvidia to loan me $100M to buy graphics cards from them, thereby valuing my next movie's box office at 1 BILLION dollars!

THIS IS BIG For non-academics who might not understand why: 1. Sen. Warren is still a Harvard professor so this is a call coming from inside the house 2. As a tenured law prof, Warren knows it is a VERY big deal from a labor standpoint to call on Harvard to ignore tenure. The bar for this is HIGH.

New PR: Begin implementing authorization_management_uri (#4351)

Not the 1st use of the Manitoba Municipal Board by NIMBYs to overrule a city decision. In 2022 a city-approved 199-unit complex in Charleswood was blocked by the MMB. That complex was later re-approved by the city, but with only 119 units. We need housing! www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

New PR: switch to watchtower fork (#289)

"eat our filet o sandwiches and u could be just like this one day'

29 years ago today, Flanders taught us the ins and outs of apple cider vs. apple juice. “Burns, Baby Burns” premiered November 17, 1996.

Psssssst: Here’s the theater finder page for Wake Up Dead Man! Showtimes begin 11/26, and more theaters will be popping up throughout the week. www.wakeupdeadmanfilm.com

This is Fendi. He is seen here demonstrating the internationally acknowledged sign language for politely requesting uppies. 13/10 would pick him up immediately (TT: isthat_jojo)

with the holidays coming up on us quickly, don't forget to skip the bigot bucket. there are so many other charities and mutual aid organizations that won't do stuff like this. (originally posted by @alisoncybe.bsky.social but they turned off QTs and this needed alt text)

That this is even remotely legal is an egregious failure of regulation of an industry that is clearly out of control. Make the calls. Complain to MC and Visa. Call your reps. Tell them that payment processors should be required to process any legal transaction.

The numbers tell the story.

My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away. Fuck cancer. Friends, let’s not forget her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

Control of your own devices is temporary, but surveillance is forever.

Think I'm just off food for a bit. Ugh.

The little one is sick. Am really hoping she's doing better when I wake up.

Missing someone who mistreated you is such a weird feeling. Brains are a trip.
