Dystopian AF

When an attack happens at night, you need to decide:

  • Are you going to the shelter to get a sleepless night somewhere in a basement or in the subway?
  • Or are you going to stay in bed as long as possible to get some sleep, because you need to go to work tomorrow?

Comfort you and put a hurting on anyone trying to mess with you. Foghorn didn’t play.

Maybe we could do like a take-a-gun/leave-a-gun kinda thing at the front door to schools to help those who can’t afford one. After the metal detectors of course.

I mean, I’d like them to act like they feel bad. I think that’s what most people are after. Some semblance of “this is wrong and I’m sorry”

Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads (www.lowpass.cc)

Roku is exploring ways to show consumers ads on its TVs even when they are not using its streaming platform: The company has been looking into injecting ads into the video feeds of third-party devices connected to its TVs, according to a recent patent filing.  ...

People definitely do. CTR (click through rate) is generally pretty low, even before the majority of Americans were using ad blocks. But it’s not 0

Geneva Convention Article 39:

  1. It is prohibited to make use of the flags or military emblems, insignia or uniforms of adverse Parties while engaging in attacks or to shield, favour, protect or impede military operations

This one weird trick defeats your enemy in seconds and makes you a war criminal.

The real answer is, it’s complicated. I thought this quote was interesting and telling though.

Dale’s daughter Kelley recalled an incident that occurred in her childhood, when her father placed a bumper sticker reading “American By Birth / Southern By The Grace Of God” on the rear of his truck. The family’s black housekeeper mentioned that the sticker, which featured the Confederate flag, made her uncomfortable. Dale immediately took a pen knife and slashed the flag off his truck, leaving the expression of Southern pride while divorcing it from the region’s sour history

    I thought we wanted young adults interested in STEM. 🤔

    Hell of a shot though. Looks like a Starling of some type. Maybe Eurasian? Maybe just common.

    Plus, it says “made with real honey”. That plus it being a blend should have raised an eyebrow to investigate further.

    But…he is?

    McGraw graduated in 1975 from Midwestern State University with a B.A. in psychology. He went on to earn an M.A. in experimental psychology in 1976 and a PhD degree in clinical psychology in 1979, both at North Texas State University (now the University of North Texas)

    Sometimes it doesn’t make your situation better, it just makes you feel good for a little bit. This seems like one of those kind of things.

    They basically did the same thing several decades ago with Kindles and whispernet. It’s not really that crazy.

    You’re right. They care about our privacy and would never do anything to sully that trust. Certainly not through a partnership with an electronics manufacturer that pays them to do it…

    No Texans call it a “warm water port”. Definitely a port, but the warm water part of this is mega strange.

    I can get basically anything I want at cheaper prices than locally available by the next day. I can get an increasing amount of things delivered to me same day as well which is pretty nice. The return policy is also a big part of it. There’s basically no fuss or questions asked for anything you want a refund on. You don’t even have to put it in a box, you can just drop it off at the UPS store.

    They’re evil, but it’s pretty great from a user perspective.

    Whoa, this sent me down a rabbit hole. Thanks for sharing. For anyone else who is interested in open source perfume but doesn’t wanna read a 75 page paper, here are four recipes talked about in the above paper: https://www.catlab.tech/open-source-perfume

    Man sues Macy’s, saying false facial recognition match led to jail assault (www.washingtonpost.com)

    Retailers increasingly are using facial recognition software to patrol their stores for shoplifters and other unwanted customers. But the technology’s accuracy is highly dependent on technical factors — the cameras’ video quality, a store’s lighting, the size of its face database — and a mismatch can lead to dangerous...

    It’s super frustrating that even paying for the NFLs super expensive service isn’t enough to watch your team’s games. It’s almost like they want people to pirate.

    I switched to using startpage.com recently based on a comment I read on Lemmy and I've been generally pretty pleased with the results. Just one more google service I can stop relying on.

    and Eve let him cook, though he had not the ingredients.

    Biggest take away here. You come across a snake (with rizz), and he doesn’t even have the ingredients? You don’t let him cook.

    alright team, let’s get ready for the satanic ritual. Jeff, did you get the photography backdrop from JC Pennys photo studio? Good, good. The dark one will be most happy with a neutral abstract pattern. Rick, did you grab the columns from your high school’s theater department? Terrific, this is certainly most evil. lastly, can someone cover up our sacrificial virgin? She looks like her legs are cold. Maybe a blanket or something while we get started?

    I’m not sure the YouTube heads really thought this through. I’m doing the exact same thing. I got a Plex setup and I’ve been watching more and more content on that instead of YouTube. I honestly don’t even miss it. When I eventually go back and try to watch something on a non-ad block device (Apple TV), it further underscores how shitty the service is getting. Longer and longer ads and it seems like they are slowly getting louder than the content.
