Pornhub blocks North Carolina and Montana as porn regulation spreads

Jump

  • How is it these laws can get passed but our legislatures can’t do anything that’s actually important for society? 

    • Clinicians could be fooled by biased AI, despite explanations

    Jump

  • Just wait until one of the clinicians tries to disagree with the AI and they get fired by a hospital administrator who trusts the technology more than the people. 

    • Elon Musk's X gets another valuation cut from Fidelity

    Jump

  • It’s Twitter. No need to adopt his pet name for it.

    • How social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit

    Jump

  • Same. In the brief window when we still had the API, I deleted every thing I’ve ever posted. Every helpful comment, all the well crafted answers to technical questions. I know they are in the wayback machine somewhere but at least Reddit can’t sell them.

  • Old cars FTW!

    • The EU common charger : USB-C

    Jump

  • I just wish there was a standard for marking the cables, so you could look at the cable and tell what it was capable of. All the cables and chargers look the same but have wildly different capabilities. 

    • What’s the tiniest thing about iOS / iPadOS / macOS that really bugs you?

    Jump

  • Yes! You push them to the background and then they jump back up front again. Who asked for this? Why is this? Whyyy???

  • Yes! Don't you bounce your icon at me, bitch. I see you and I will get there when I'm ready.

    Jump

  • When windows steal focus in macOS. If I am opening an app it should be able to open in the background while I do something else. Same with a “file copy” dialog in Finder. So many apps and windows repeatedly steal focus and push themselves to the top and it’s so frustrating.

    • How the fuck is this my problem, ticketmaster?!

    Jump

  • Ticketmaster is truly the bastard spawn of satan and corporate greed, an evil so foul and repugnant that merely speaking its name sends chills through all that hear it and sends children running to hide under their covers.

    • Social media platform X̶ Twitter suffers global outages

    Jump

  • Hopefully the next one is permanent

    • Pluralistic: "If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing"

    Jump

  • I’ve been searching all over and haven’t found anything yet. The only answer seems to be to directly open up the Plex database in sqllite and navigate the schema myself and figure out how to export the specific tables and fields I want in some usable format. Once I have that, there are tools to generate .nfo files. 

    • What are your opinions on in-person conferences?

    Jump

  • I think they are great if it’s about 40% talk and 60% socialize. The point of talks should be to stimulate a conversation that happens in the hallway. If it’s just one way content absorption, that could’ve been done remotely. 

    I desperately miss the networking and socializing and the people I met and the interesting conversations that I could not have planned for. I hope eventually my company starts sending us again.

  • I’ll have the chicken then.

    • Apple cuts off Beeper Mini’s access after launch of service that brought iMessage to Android

    Jump

  • Good. Beeper Mini was a gross hack based on an edge case trick that they shouldn’t have been charging for.

    Jump

  • Just started my switch last weekend! Jellyfin is amazing so far. Just need to figure out how to export all the Plex metadata and posters to .nfo files.

  • But I would definitely take a shit in that helmet

    • OpenAI cofounder Ilya Sutskever has become invisible at the company, with his future uncertain, insiders say

    Jump

  • Right? Why is this news?

    • Ex-Tesla employee casts doubt on car safety

    Jump

  • Duh, of course it’s not. Even the systems with Lidar and Radar are running into pedestrians. Tesla relies entirely on cameras that can’t see through fog or glare. It works only in ideal conditions and situations, and fails very quickly in all the situations a car would encounter in the real world.
