The US version of Oscar is much less funny than the original, but as far as US adaptations go it's still quite good.

I wrote a book about the problems with bottled #water ("Bottled and Sold") several years ago. Here's just another reason to avoid it.

One of the most important tools you can use on the internet to protect yourself from online security and privacy threats is… an ad-blocker.

In this deep-dive (and one of my favorites), I explain how ad blockers defend against surveillance and malware. I also have plenty of ad blocker suggestions for you to consider!

Just backed @dotmeow.meow ∙ We'll be at #39C3 ^-^'! Their total is getting very close to the halfway mark of their current goal: could be fun to back them now and see if you can screenshot proof that you took them over that illustrious threshold.

They were many. Not just rulers, but households, elders, children—lives lived inside systems of memory, labor, belief, and power that did not require a single name. So, to say “Africa is a country” is not a cartographic error. It is the residue of training—what remains after empire leaves but its grammar stays.

Africa moved as many worlds. It still does.

Made it to the @Codeberg assembly at #39c3 with @dantescanline and @trinetraत्रीनेत्र:toluene and we snatched a fresh @FediverseSymbolFediverse Symbol ⁂ wearing @tommiTommi 🤯 on the way. Codeberg is the home of FEPs which are the underlying documents spearheading the way to a fediverse that keeps moving forward so it felt the moment needed to be captured. Thanks to @n0toose for telling us all the gossip.

I've been feeling a bit under the weather the past couple of days, so I hit a pause on my reading and I watched #Murderbot on Apple TV.

I have to say I enjoyed the show more than I expected, especially given that I didn’t really like the books (OK, I read only the first one) and the reviews for the show were mixed at best.

...and I like your heuristic too. it's more reliable but it requires more data - a lot more! - and may not be feasible in practice for most

@0x5021Volker (nich Lothar Frohwein) Chaos mit langem o.

I like having the shape of things memorized. I like being fluent in the codebases I work on. human memorization works via repeated exposure. it's fine to automate certain things (so long as the automation tool is deterministic) but do it with the awareness that you'll lose the opportunity to become good and knowledgable about something through your menial interactions with it

This is a camera photo of a YouTube Short I published, playing back on my TV's YouTube app.

I do not look like this. I don't look this young and I'm not trying to. My face isn't remotely this smooth. My skin has blemishes, and freckles. My eyebrows are coarser.

YouTube's stupid AI upscaler has clearly made a pass, and I dislike it. I dislike it very much.
