  • What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?

  • What's your read on Milchick and Kier's comedy routine in the S2 finale?

  • That's an interesting observation about the Board. The Kier voice seems similar to the Board voice we briefly heard from the intercom in S1.

  • Saturn has 128 new moons – more than the rest of the planets combined

  • Moons vs. dwarf moons? (Sounds like a fantasy novel series.)

  • I have been using it and it works well.

  • [Article] The forgotten street found behind a hidden library door

  • Discovered in the 1990s. It’s been known/used for decades now.

  • The repost bots often use oddly-phrased headlines -- often commenters will even talk about how weird the headline is. I can’t tell if the posters are actually bots, or if they are content farmers from certain countries. (The odd phrasing may sound natural in their language.)

    Another tactic is to post an obviously incorrect headline to draw engagement, like mis-identifying a picture of the Empire State Building as Chicago.

    Both of these happen frequently with image posts.

  • If you are an American, how are you preparing for the upcoming tariffs and possible trade war?

  • The CPI is a key economic indicator. It’s unlikely that banks and markets would tolerate that kind of meddling.

    But, if the CPI was changed for political reasons, there are other similar stats.

    In plain language: Wall Street can make or lose billions of dollars based on correctly/incorrectly forecasting this stat, so you can bet your ass they have accurate data. Some of it is private; some is available to paying customers. Even if the data is not public, it is often publicly characterized, for example, in economic forecasts and in publications like The Economist.

    Some examples of alternative CPI sources are: PriceStats and The Economist’s Intelligence Unit. Both require paid access.

    Be aware that freely-available stats may be published with political agendas, by Fox News conspiracy theorists, etc.

  • Palm trees, roofed area in the parking lot. Southern California. Giant sign base on the right side of the picture: next to a freeway.

  • Four Passengers Die in Burning Tesla After Electronic Doors Seemingly Won't Open

  • iOS animated app icons

  • Apple has not made the necessary APIs available. Only those two apps have animated icons. They’re made by Apple and so they are able to use the private APIs needed to do it.

  • Just a totally normal ad from 1971

  • It’s real. House & Garden Magazine, December 1971, page 127.

    Also see the ad for “Lady Alsons Personal Shower” on page 28, and the Insta-Jet Propane Flame Gun, only $9.99, on page 113!

  • Wow, it’s impressive that by this time next year they expect to be flying customer payloads on Neutron.

  • Apple put the Magic Mouse’s charging port on the bottom again

  • Is this true? I don’t use a Magic Mouse but my Magic Trackpad and Apple wireless keyboard both give low battery warnings.

  • Chatbot that caused teen’s suicide is now more dangerous for kids, lawsuit says

  • Or they changed the headline and due to caches CDNs or other reasons you didn’t get the newer one.

    archive.today has your original headline cached.

    Thanks for posting. While it’s a needlessly provocative headline, if that’s what the article headline was, then that is what the Lemmy one should be.

  • Chatbot that caused teen’s suicide is now more dangerous for kids, lawsuit says

  • That is odd. It’s not what I see:

  • Chatbot that caused teen’s suicide is now more dangerous for kids, lawsuit says

  • A very poor Lemmy article headline. The linked article says “alleged” and clearly there were multiple factors involved.

  • Aerial view of Centuripe, Italy

  • I had to look up other images to confirm this is real. It looks very much like AI.
