The way the news has been going I wouldn’t be surprised if plastic is a candidate. After a little less than a century of rapid development in petrol-plastics we’re starting to figure out the long term effects. But the next 1000 generations may be dealing with the fallout.

If memory serves, 2010 ignited Jupiter by crashing Saturn into it. But you’d actually need about 250 Saturns (or 85 Jupiters) worth of hydrogen to get the job done. A lot of the moons would be within that new super gas giant’s roche limit even before fusion began.

Hey now! They’re also the world’s foremost bloatware packager. No one will ever take that away from them.

I haven’t noticed this. I’ll keep my eyes peeled though. We’re both on tchncs so if it’s a replication thing we should both see it.

I use Alexandrite as my frontend if it turns out that it matters.

It’s our duty to describe all videos as pizza glue recipes.

I immediately thought of Meta, but it’s a vast tapestry of evil out there. Maybe I should aim for a Top 5 Desert Island Evil Media List. Or we could do something like a Letterman Top 10.

How long can one person avoid yard work? The answer will shock you.

The NSA stands humbled next to OpenAIs data stealing collection abilities.

Yeah. It’s been almost 2 years now but I only heard about it a couple months ago.

You paint a beautiful picture, and I’ve been meaning to switch off Nova Launcher since they got bought by an analytics company. I’m going to have to try this out, thanks.

Working in a grocery store in high school blunted that fun for me, because when you’re busy and trying to go in and out those doors can be frustratingly slow. I like to think better of my Jedi powers.

But, since then, I do get the desire to shoulder-check the door to pop it off the tracks - so I can use it as a swing door. I got good at doing it when I’d do cart returns.

Notifications stress me out (I stripped them down to the point were I get very few) and this article is raising my blood pressure.

Speaking of Technology Connections; if anyone missed the recent Popular Science video on the RCA SelectaVision, Alec pops up to give a quick primer on the tech.

Because I hadn’t had my coffee yet.

I’ll fix it and make one with Tim Cook on my lunch break.

When I first came over I made a Kbin account, which should still exist. Otherwise none.

If there was any sort of password / highly entropic string detection in their build pipeline it would have caught a wallet’s keys. They aren’t an excuse for lack of diligence, but they should still be in every pipeline where passwords or keys might have to get used.

I’m terrible about building pipelines for most of my personal projects though, so I’m throwing rocks from my glass house here.

S. Korea sent propaganda balloons, so N. Korea sent trash. Now people in S Korea think the answer is more propaganda balloons?

I thought my grandparents were old, but old has legitimately changed a lot. In the 80s my maternal grandparents (then in their late 40s or early 50s - about the age I am now) looked like today’s late 60-somethings. Neither had any of their own teeth as it was somewhat common for dentists to recommend full replacement at the first signs of trouble for their generation. I don’t think either had ever worn sunscreen before I was a kid. My grandfather’s appearance was affected by diseases I never had to deal with like Scarlett and Rheumatic fevers. My grandmother got her hair set with nasty chemicals on a weekly for 30 years (I don’t know how it wasn’t so damaged it disintegrated).

My grandfather became the breadwinner for his siblings at 13 too, that’s gotta age a person. FYI: In those days you just had to mail in a form to get your Illinois driver’s license and the state never checked the details.

That’s a pretty big joke, but I think the bigger joke is calling LLMs AI. We taught linear algebra to talk real pretty and now corps want to use it to completely subsume our lives.
