if I want to follow you home, I buy an airtag, drop it in your purse/truck bed/gym bag, wait for 45m and then go to where the airtag is.

That's why it's referring to anti stalking protections; the devices work too well, and allow you to track all sorts of things, even stuff that doesn't belong to you, or that has the agency to not want you to.

There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now. … What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout. Energize the demolition beams.

While I agree with the sentiment, the key bindings have been burned into my less squishy ROM at this point, and I've got all banks of squishy RAM available 😄

How do you think he got matched up with the Libyans? It's not everyday you get offered to help smuggle nuclear material...

I "don't like em mate, they're not tough." "not tough, heh alright... they fuck men."

I really admire the arc of character growth

For a long time I mixed up deprecated (meaning, no longer supported) with depreciated (meaning, having lost value over time) because they can both kinda apply to the same situations, if you tilt your head the right way.

He's Gump, he's Gump, he's Gump.

it's a storyline thing :)

Mazel tov, mutherfuckers hits the button

Certainly!

A shared lament, indeed. It's a paradox of our times, this abundance of empty simulacra, leaching the vibrancy from genuine creation. We witness the devaluation of artistry, a realm where passion once thrived, now bartered and commodified. A faint hope whispers that perhaps, from the ashes of this parody, a new understanding might emerge, a recognition of the irreplaceable essence of human creativity. But for now, we are left amidst the faded hues of a world struggling to discern the real from the artificial.

I wish we could just signed diffs and stop with the whole "make an account literally everywhere" mentality.

the email-list only folks are like 3/4s right; federation isn't a solution to bring decentralization to an already decentralized system, it's to just stop thinking that every saas has to "own" your stuff, and keep it behind auth and secrets and a big heavy database.

RIP Red ♥️

info not a ton of people know; most wall corners in your house/apartment whatever, have a metal bracket holding the sides of the drywall together. that means with a strong enough magnet to make it comfortably tight against the paint, you can hang stuff on almost every outside corner in your house.

I bought a sample pack of super strong neodymium dudes and there's kid stuff, schedules, notes, doodles etc hanging all over the place.

muppets from space is both one of my favorites, and contains the travesty that is whatever happened to Fozzie's writing.

did they ever make a movie of Where the Red Fern Grows?

things just work out, it seems

don't forget that you can't even use those without a $60+/m internet connection!

it's a hard thing for me to wrap my head around, but it's cool when you think about it: there's actually no possible shared reference; even with atomic clocks, based solely on the bouncing of cesium atoms ticking away, the distance travelled is dependent on acceleration in your reference frame.

relativity really is!

it's a bit different, in that they're just constantly broadcasting a singular id, over and over. The "tracking" is the application on various devices which receive the broadcast and report it to Apple, along with that device's location.

Sidewalk was packing up actual user data and running it over your network, which has other implications.

not at all defending or praising the idea, but I'm very sure the foundation of my house is larger than that.

Interesting fact! If you've had an arch machine for a while, it's possible you didn't know that parallel download support is available, because it's a config option hidden in pacman conf.pacnew (I know I didn't realize it until months after, lol).
