rotating to A on dust

I have no idea what this means, anyone care to explain?

Yeah, the rotation was a bit of a surprise to me. Doesn’t seem like Waterfox has a setting to disable that, so I just disabled my browser’s access to the accelerometer and gyros entirely.

How big do you think my car is???

A lunar eclipse here on Earth is a solar eclipse when viewed from the Moon. :)

This is AI slop. It’s subtle, but the graphical errors in the series of bars to the left and right of “commonly heard examples” are obvious indicators. The radio is a bit messed up too, and the text has a characteristic AI feel I can’t really explain. (I think it has to do with the sizing and spacing of the letters).

It’s an interesting idea, but I’d rather not make any requests at all to the advertisers’ servers, even if it’s done in the background without me seeing the ads.

It looks like they stacked the images by taking the maximum pixel values; any other method should’ve produced much fainter or nonexistent trails. A good way to show just how many satellites there are, but not a realistic depiction of their effect on astrophotography.

They’re based in Canada, and given their privacy-focused approach I can’t imagine they’d implement such a feature.

Wouldn’t this just be unenforceable for any Linux distros not directly owned/maintained by a US-based corporation? I don’t really see how they could force a distro to comply, unless they start going after individual maintainers who live in the US.

This is definitely AI, but AI is such a vaguely defined term that it’s basically meaningless. Too many people these days mistake it for meaning “a computer that can think like a human” even though it encompasses everything from LLMs to chess playing algorithms to something like Minecraft zombie pathfinding.

That would make sense.

I don’t use Play Services and still get push notifications from Signal, so they’re clearly using an alternative implementation.

It’s your phone, it’s your app store, it’s your browser, it’s your email, it’s your storage, it’s your search, it’s your maps, it’s your music, it’s your news, it’s your credit card, it’s your password manager

Google is so deeply integrated into most people’s lives that they can’t imagine going without it.

The AI companies are inbreeding intentionally now? Wonderful!

It’s a sure sign of a healthy non-bubble economy when a random Substack post can cause a stock market crash.

Turns out organisms are mostly made up of elements that are very common in the environment, which makes sense if you think about it.

The color the baby will be? I think they usually come out pretty red.

The copyright doesn’t apply to the event of Vance being booed itself, it applies to that specific video recording of it. Sure the video creator is a dick for getting it taken down, but they’re within their legal rights to.

The next line implicates the de.mschae23.grindenchantments mod; seems like a pretty clear starting point for troubleshooting.
