Ecosia and Qwant are trying to change that, but it’s an uphill fight.

Ha, my first reaction to this title was “What, is the other half sailing the seven seas for shows?”

Considering that every Cybertruck ever produced has been recalled, it’s fair to point out that it has been a short, troubled history for this platform.

Also, 173 units is a devastating indictment, probably the wildest part of the article.

And you melt it down to form a sword that can reveal and vanquish serpent men.

If the reporting is accurate, your data is still sent to Google’s servers for processing. This doesn’t appear to improve privacy, it’s more like an extension of the user surveillance business model that Google has pursued in the past decade.

I was in a small town in Maine that did that informally, there were a handful of shops and a ban at one store was applied everywhere. They all had signs warning about the policy. It was apparently very effective.

so if you shoplifted in a Nottingham Tesco’s, be prepared to be banned from Sainsbury’s in Swansea

This got a genuine chuckle from me, I love a bit of good writing in the wild!

I’m still convinced these statements will age like milk.

A built-in ad blocker is easily the least problematic announcement coming out of Mozilla in the last year.

Wait until you hear about the Gran Colombia.

No problem!

That’s probably a fair assessment, but still a rather damning indictment of the industry writ large.

There are definitely better versions of cryptocurrency that I think could be more useful, but the industry is definitely not headed in that direction. Instead, it’s all pump-and-dumps, rug-pulls, and other schemes that render them nothing more than highly speculative asset classes in which the underlying asset has no intrinsic value.

It’s just grift all the way down with crypto, isn’t it? Scams layered on scams layered on scams.

I’ve seen where doctors are using it for surgery

The article I’ve seen is one instance in Brazil (article in Brazilian Portuguese) for laparoscopic surgery, which makes a lot of sense. I don’t know how it compare to other displays, however, or if using a VR set rather than a monitor offers advantages, or if the Vision Pro did anything new or better. The same article mentions that doctors had done the same thing with a HoloLens VR headset some years before.

Roku Jellyfin app has been pretty good lately, few complaints now!

This seems fine, so long as the journos remember how to pull up stakes once a platform decays. I hope they learn a lesson about the importance of owning your own audience, follower lists, etc.

Non-Spotify link, for anyone not wanting to support that exploitative platform.

The episode has a point, all this nuclear talk is a fig leaf for really excessive and probably pointless energy consumption. So-called AI feels like a Ponzi scheme in more ways than one.

That kinda tells you what kind of business Tesla is, if its valuation is based on politics and government-adjascent grift rather than vehicles sold and revenue.

I like this market segment, I’m glad RE is in this space, but I hate that saddle.

Womp womp on that price.
