I used to email the editor with examples of typos after I complained that their articles were in decline and he said they needed examples. So I sent a bunch of examples. That person was very receptive. He even said it was useful because they’d been discussing internally whether or not they were doing well in that area.

A few years ago, someone else took the position. I found out because I emailed the original person and he replied and CC’d the new editor. That person wasn’t receptive and never showed any sign that they cared that I wanted their articles to be high enough quality that I was confident sharing them with people who I thought needed more science regarding social issues.

Guess Ars is not gonna be among the sites that I trust to get things right from here on. And to hell with any editor who was ok with using agents when writing articles cause they clearly don’t have the internal structure to keep that from being a liability.

The smugness of her smile. Fuck this lady. She’ll go on to make life difficult for others for the next sixty years.

If I recall correctly, her mother is also a proud Karen.

Another airline that I won't fly for political reasons. The other is United for having their security assault that dentist some years ago.

MacOS (less with each release). One of the Linux distros that aims to minimize the "Linux" experience for new users, like Mint. There are others that are also good for new users who don't care what's underneath. I'll let others suggest them as I don't keep track of them all.

For once, the admin might have found an issue that its base won't let go.

Obviously further proof that scary brown people are responsible. /s

PiHole and Plex? Plex will help generate need for a NAS. It worked for me.

I would expect that leaded gasoline was responsible for the first gen stupider than their parents, but I have no data.

Gosh, you don't say…

How was he supposed to know that ALL THE IMMIGRANTS would include him?!

I really need to stop just setting it down when I'm done, cause I'm tired of looking for it. Hang on…

All right. Here's my tiniest violin…

Just finishing the job of our white ancestors, I'm sure. Ridiculous.

 

In a blog post, Musk said the acquisition was warranted because global electricity demand for AI cannot be met with “terrestrial solutions,” and Silicon Valley will soon need to build data centers in space to power its AI ambitions.

This dumb fuck. Unfortunately, his boosters will be all-in on this messaging. Whatever.

 

Poor Lonnie. May he cry himself to sleep on his MyPillow tonight.

 

Dunno who deserves credit for this, but a friend sent me a link to an anti-ice video on someone's insta (Ice-T performing live with updated lyrics for his song "Cop Killer"). This was also posted there, so I'll link to that page. No idea if that's who made the image or if they borrowed it from somewhere else.

Yeah, that's it. It wasn't having your fascist, boot-licking CEO show up wearing the stupidest looking shades that made investors cringe and look for the door. Cause we all know Zuck looks cool and people want to emulate him, right? He's not a jackass in a curly mop.

Maybe next they should have Elon wear them. We can just go down the line having stupid-looking billionaires take turns modeling these things and suck the whole industry dry of any investor money by mid-year. Who should go third? Oh, I know! Sam Altman with his two popped collars. I can't wait. What a trio of clowns. And that's just who I thought of off the top of my head.

 

What a shame. I was super excited to send money to this grifter and show off how much of a patriot I am. And it's fake gold, which everyone knows is super classy.

 

Such a badass.

“Absolutely there are people I don’t like, and I would like to put them on one of Musk’s spaceships and send them all off to the planet he’s sure he’s going to discover … He’d be the host … Along with Musk would be Trump … And then I would put Putin in there. And I would put President Xi. I’d certainly put Netanyahu in there, and his far-right government. Put them all on that spaceship and send them off.”

– Jane Goodall

 

The person running the site had some had some health issues and hasn't posted an update in 2.5 years. However, there's a mountain of awesome command line tools to discover if you go through the backlogs. The daily updates on this site used to be one of the most delightful parts of my day for a long time and a lot of tools that I use and love today were found here.

Enjoy!

 

I wanted to post this yesterday, but my instance was having issues the entire day. Apologies if this is a repost.

Shi allegedly sent a message to Oppo saying that he was working to “collect as much information as possible” before starting his job. And he searched the internet for terms like “how to wipe out macbook” and “Can somebody see if I’ve opened a file on a shared drive?” from his Apple-issued MacBook before leaving the company.

For someone who is presumably pretty intelligent, this is pretty dumb.

It's amazing to me that we can still find new heavenly bodies within our own solar system in 2025. Not to mention the possibility that we have data that suggests there might be yet another beyond Pluto, but that's still speculative.

Science: one of the only topics that doesn't suck in 2025.
