Fmovie is a new one I never heard of before. Good thing they mentioned it so I know to avoid it in the future.

Passkey is FIDO2.

Change is hard. It has been a long road to get where we are today: major OS and Browser vendor support. Users now need to change their behavior.

Passkey is resistant to these attacks, but user adoption is not widespread enough for Discord to be able to mandate it.

Cloudflare has a bot score. Depending on how sus your bot score is you can use several different levels of verification. The checkbox you refer to is kind of in the middle. There is also a more complicated intrusive captcha and a totally transparent javascript. It’s a pretty slick system.

A lot of legal detail in this post. Here are three key points I pulled out the aricle:

• Internet users have a First Amendment right to speak on social media—whether by posting or commenting—and that right may be infringed when the government seeks to  interfere with content moderation, but it will not be infringed  by the independent decisions of the platforms themselves.
• Underlying these rulings is the Supreme Court’s long-awaited recognition that social media platforms routinely moderate users’ speech
• This term’s cases also confirm that traditional First Amendment rules apply to social media

Some great advice here. I also like this piece of verbal judo: “I have taken up too much of your time, I will let you go now. I have bored you enough with my pedantic nonsense.”

I had an Impala that I named Vlad, so it was “Vlad the Impala”.

Nit exactly a movie, but I rewatched the first season of True Detective. It is a Masterpiece, IMHO.

Correct!

They had no choice but to settle because much of the evidence was the result of torture and could have been invalid in a trial.

Here are two I recommend:

The Rest is History - two historians, Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook go deep on interesting topics from history.

Never Post - a podcast described as “about and for the internet” and in some sense the spiritual successor to Hello Internet but also reminding me of classic Radiolab. Worth checking out.

It is a dog whistle for racism. The facts do not matter and the issues don't matter. It is just another opportunity put out their message of hate and intolerance.

Took this with my iphone 15.

What are your use cases?

A better question is, is there any difference between the illusion of free will and actual free will. Is there some experiment you could conduct to tell the difference?

Yeah, but the question is who else. Any suggestions?

Great list! I would also add to this PCR, the technology that allowed us to map the human genome.

Thanks that is super-helpful! There is also a Gigabyte option that is only moderately more expensive. I will check it out!
