Meanwhile the Play Store is full of scams. This isn’t about safety, it making sure they get a cut from the scam apps.

Until he has early dementia and forgets the lessons learned, but of course he’ll forget he invested anything tomorrow and do it again!
I’m all for holding people personally responsible, but sometimes we gotta help each other out. Also blaming the victim for being scammed is not helpful. Scammers do so many underhand tactics its impossible for any of the keep track alone.
I’m okay with more tools to help us protect people. Maybe instead of needing ADB, you have to boot into save mode, and can enable 3rd party sources from there? This way you can still enable it on the phone while preventing a script or app can’t automate enabling it. Oh and because there’s more scan shit on google play than Fdroid, we’ll need google play to be enabled the same method too.

The kid on the right looks fine. The one in the middle just needs to do something with the hair. The left one went a bit far with the long pants, and again hair. I’m not saying its got to be neatly flat or something, but but some effort into it, throw in some actually spikes, or a mowhak or anything really. Bed head ain’t it. The kid on the right, he takes care of his hair.

Easy fix “Nvidia, no one has the supply your asking for, you can wait for your order just like anyone else” Imagine a company ordering the world supply of paper and being told “yes, we’ll divert all stock straight you and everyone else can have the leftovers for 8x the cost.”

Huh, thinking about it, I’ve never seen a computer in the 2009 icon form factor. Sure there’s the simple rectangle case, but that skinny silver curved case?
Also, its kind of funny the 2026 version is an all-in-one-computer, which is more of Apple’s thing. Sure there’s probably a dozen options for a Windows all in one, but when I see that icon I think of an iMac.

We shouldn’t jump straight into violence, so how about after 5 minutes we’re allowed to beat them with anything from their cart, our cart, or the complementary whiffle ball bat?

“15 items or less” lanes should charge extra for going over. 0-20 no charge, 21+ = $1 per extra item. That money goes towards whoever uses the register after you.

Skimming through this, most labours do a lot of the “don’t cleanup and abuse equipment” stuff anyway. Are we surrounded by spies?

- Comment on YSK about Wikimedia Topviews 4 weeks ago:
Maybe, but I feel like the numbers still wouldn’t be that high. My second guess is maybe the default wikipedia shortcut in chrome’s search brings you to the chrome wiki page as an “easter egg”?
Its been a few years since I used chrome, so I have no clue.

How is google chrome the top page view? Think google left a not running somewhere?

The data they compiled is really cool.
If reading the chart right, the genera with the most artists is opera.
Even if they didn’t have the music files, the analysis on the metadata is insane.
Publicly admitting they are the origin of the torrents is definitely a risky move. I don’t think they want Sony going after them, but also fuck Sony for locking art behind shitty contracts that forces these kind of projects to exist.
- Comment on No AI* Here - A Response to Mozilla's Next Chapter - Waterfox Blog 5 weeks ago:
I saw/heard an interesting take from a YouTube the other day.
They argued that forks are killing Firefox. Everyone using a fork doesn’t get counted in firefox’s numbers, they don’t see all the Linux user or people turning off AI features because we turned telemetry off. They only see the telemetry of the windows users that use the AI features everyday.
On one hand fuck Firefox’s current direction and the forks are great. On the other hand, maybe we should all use Firefox for some casual stuff just to keep the numbers up.

And most debian user disable telemetry. Their numbers probably show its all windows folk heavily using AI because its the default.

And the fix is a firmware update not a total recall? So its either buggy overcomplicated software or the update tweaked things to reduce the power draw so you got less machine power than what you were advertised.

The first edit was a undoing a vandalism that persisted for 5 years. Someone changed the number of floors a building had from 67, to 70.
A friendly reminder to only use Wikipedia as a summary/reference aggregate for serious research.
This is a cool tool for checking these sorts of things, run everything through the LLM to flag errors and go after them like a wack-a-mole game instead of a hidden object game.
