  • I memorised this key, mainly due to LAN parties, since someone would always have some issue that needed them to reinstall Wndows. To this day i can recite it in full at any time. Also my library card number from when i was 12 (in case i forgot my card at home).

  • YSK: Google is Killing uBlock Origin. No Chromium Browser is Safe.
  • For me, it's mostly that the Android app doesn't have a tab bar, even on tablet (just a stretched out phone ui), and i want a browser i can sync across all my devices, so that issue with the tablet ui is enough for me to use a different browser (the amazing Vivaldi) everywhere.

  • How can we return to techno-optimism?
  • Great article, totally agree with the author. I would still be concerned with that power moving to the government, particularly in countries with limited options for true representation (eg. two party systems, where it is usually more a matter of "lesser evil" voting), but that then becomes the next challenge; still more appropriate in the government's hands than the level of power corporations currently wield.

  • Studios are cracking down on some of the internet’s most popular pirating sites
  • The thing is, as we learned with Netflix (and... everything lately), even if it starts off convenient and reasonable, that will last only long enough that they think they've cornered the market. So unless something changes to guarantee an ongoing reasonable proposition, i will never trust them again.

  • Samsung promises Galaxy S25 will get 'top-of-the-line' camera, display upgrades
  • I used the Jelly for a while, mostly it worked very well, only a couple apps had layout issues. I think it was just slightly too small at 3", and 3.5 - 4" would resolve basically every app layout issue I had with it. My biggest problem with it was actually that the camera was awful.

  • SciTechDaily - Anti-Aging Treatment Breakthrough: Japanese Scientists’ Regenerative Gene Transfer Success
  • I think it would be bad for the economy, particularly if everyone had access to it, therefore i suspect if it actually would pan out, some researchers would disappear and the world would never see this released, or it would be made inaccessible to most people somehow (probably money). I'm pessimistic, but of course i also hope we do see something like that in our lifetimes.

  • Grindr reports down to single digit metres... That level of accuracy is certainly not needed and potentially dangerous. I've had stalker issues with Grindr before.... Imo the radar aspect can be preserved while simply capping the accuracy or reporting at "<500m", because seriously that's close enough to know someone is literally less than 5 minute walk from you.

    Sniffies is a similar app, but includes an option to randomise your location within a certain radius that you can set. So you can still determine people are "nearby" or get an idea of their general distance and location, without being able to literally hunt them down.

  • New Zealand rower takes to OnlyFans to keep his Olympic dream afloat
  • It's fine for people to choose this as one pathway for additional income, i just wish it were always a completely free choice, whereas in many situations it seems a little too much of a last resort or derived from particular pressure, which feels... I just feel it's disappointing it's seen as almost necessary in those situations. Olympic athletes should not have financial issues like that, or feel forced to give up their privacy (if he does indeed feel forced, but it comes across that way in some regards). Anyway, he presents it as positive in his eyes, so I hope that's true.
