I visited the Threads.net homepage on my iPad and…WTF am I supposed to do with this you rocket science geniuses? Am I supposed to look at this through a VR headset/Meta interface or something?The techbro culture is so fucking dumb sometimes.

I don’t know anymore who the fools are. The people that create this shit or the people that willingly consume it.Anyway, my cynical take is that Threads will take itself down before it poses a threat to anyone.

I don’t know how we managed to replace language with QR codes everywhere, but call me old fashioned in that I want to be able to read something without technology to interpret it for me and then make it readable.

@saskboy Grounders were 25 for us. Any ball hit lost 25 per bounce. So if it was a one hopper, 75 points, two bounces, 50 and then after that it was 25.Had to be moving. Dead ball was 0 points.

PCs 'caught in a news cycle,' expert saysabout a "potential windfall upwards of $8 billion." for "a small group of well-connected developers"But you know, "It's making it hard for them to get positive news out," Why do I get so frustrated with journalism? That's why. The government stole "upwards of $8 billion" worth of protected land that belongs to all Ontarians, and now the story is how hard it is for the government to get "positive news out."https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/greenbelt-controversy-ford-government-1.6953746

"Should I get a COVID-19 booster?Scientists continue to debate the pluses and minuses of extra doses of vaccine"I'm getting really pissy about this. I didn't find any real minuses other than "it might not improve your immunity more than it already is"What's wrong with "it might not boost, but it won't hurt to try." Why is that, by implication, a "minus?"https://www.science.org/content/article/should-i-get-covid-19-booster

As a matter of fact, why is every medical issue presented as a wishy-washy take with no clear guidance? Who does it help to present to the public experts disagreeing with each other?

Since I learned of it in 2015, I was able to understand I had #Aphantasia Which was a huge relief. What's fun about it is all the research that is now happening around it, because it changes our understanding of how the mind works.https://nautil.us/my-brain-doesnt-picture-things-407444/

Let me summarize the majority of mainstream opinion columns, and even political news reporting.“If liberals worked harder at keeping conservatives happy, we’d be much better off.”

Take it from me, it is downright frightening how many ICT/SCADA/PLC systems are shipped with poor OR DISABLED security systems from the vendor. And the vendor basically tells you that you are on your own if you want to secure it, and all warranties are void if you try.https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/russian-hackers-switch-to-lotl-technique-to-cause-power-outage/

“Right-wing trolls are freaking out after learning they can get sued for calling people ‘groomers’ on the Internet. A new court decision is reinforcing that there is no public interest in speech that exposes vulnerable groups to hate.”https://pressprogress.ca/right-wing-trolls-are-freaking-out-after-learning-they-can-get-sued-for-calling-people-groomers-on-the-internet/

User: Half the computers are down!So I look, several switches are offline. *SIGH*Drive into work. Half the plant doesn't have power. That might be why half the computers are down.This happens every time. People think computers don't need electricity. If the lights aren't working, they don't think "Huh. That must be why the computers don't work."So, I'm here to tell you. "Computers run on what looks to be some form of electricity."

This is why the first question from IT help is always "Does the device have power? Do you see lights on?"

TIL.You can’t charge an EV when travelling without a smartphone (and the requisite app on the smartphone.)To buy gasoline, all I need is my wallet. Cash, credit, debit. You know, how we pay for everything else.WTF are we even doing here? Why can’t I purchase electricity to charge like I purchase any other fuel? Why are we complicating things on purpose?

Pierre Poilievre builds a mountain of bullshit on a foundation of lies to gain support. That's the point that needs to be made loud and clear.These individual fact checks are accurate, but miss the point.https://www.nationalobserver.com/2024/01/05/opinion/poilievres-debtonation-much-ado-about-nothing
