Six Months Ago NPR Left Twitter. The Effects Have Been Negligible

  • "Complete fiction" is a bit of a stretch, but it was grossly exaggerated how many kids ate the danger candy.

    Apparently Tide's marketing team went through many iterations on the pods, and they intentionally made them look like enticing treats. Probably not the smartest on their part either.

    • Today I got this POP-UP, anyone?

  • I'm using droidify and couldn't find signal in there either.

  • I think it's cool in concept, but it's more of an activism tool than a convenience tool. I'm my experience at least, it didn't block as much as I'd like.

    • Mozilla Might Finally Enable Firefox's Wayland Backend Soon

    Jump

  • Well good thing I finally realized it wasn't enabled and set my environment variables to enable it.

  • I’m pretty confident the blue and green colors have nothing to do with it.

    You'd be surprised. A lot of girls won't date someone if they don't have the right colored chat bubbles.

    • Windows 11 Debloat tools

  • Lol, I've already got a fedora server and desktop, a debian home theater PC, and some sort of Linux running on an old laptop (I think it's Ubuntu right now - I use whatever the current project needs). No windows in my household!

    • Lobbyists Call For Increased Digital ID Funding

    Jump

  • As an aside, is digital ID a gating factor in us bring forced to digital currency? Stores are already refusing cash, so we're practically digital already.

    • California’s Delete Act lets consumers make one request to delete personal data - The Verge

    Jump

  • I tend to disagree with a lot of Californian politics, but hot damn are their pro consumer laws the best. Can't wait for 2026.

    • The rent is too damn algorithmic — DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb is investigating RealPage, a company that helps landlords set rent prices, for potential antitrust violations

    Jump

  • Maybe I misinterpreted your original comment. Are you suggesting a that the taxes increase by 10% of the going rate (e.g. 5% -> 5.5%?), or the taxes increase by 10% of the property value (e.g. 5% -> 15%)?

    If it's the latter, then that makes more sense. That would be unsustainable for a landlord, because no way in hell can someone pull an extra 50k out of their ass each year on a 500k home.

  • DDG's bangs actually use the site's own search feature though, rather than narrowing the search engine's results to a given site.

  • I've run plain ol' openbox without a desktop environment on top of it, and it's quite nice. IIRC I also had a standalone status bar application, but I can't remember which one I used.

    There are a couple utility programs (obconf and obkey?) that help to configure everything comfortably.

    • Net neutrality’s court fate depends on whether broadband is “telecommunications”

    Jump

  • I'm not saying I agree with it, but it kind of makes sense in a roundabout way. If you're resolving domain names and routing traffic to those domains, rather than simply routing traffic, then you're providing a more complete service.

    I'd equate it to a phone company that includes a human operator as part of the service bundle, as opposed to you having to dial the numbers manually.

    • Users dodge A.I. filters to generate pictures of pop-culture characters performing terrorism

  • Why not? If you feed the entirety of a given IP (say, every frame in every Star Wars film or show), you could train an AI to produce imagery derived exclusively from copyrighted material.

  • You'd be surprised how inept some people can be. Back when I worked in defense, we heard a story about a guy who, while preparing to exfiltrate sensitive data, named the file "data_to_exfiltrate.zip". What a moron.
