I guess blu ray players cost as much as PS5s now.

How does a cloud ☁️ even run a php

I don't want to hear any whining about fixing certs from the information security types today. you chose to join the techno-priest caste, now shut up and perform the rites of exorcism

you can use the CA bug to make your boring smart TV way more interesting

It sucks here!

Cool recomp you have there. Would love to play this thing in a way that's clean and stress-free. Lemme just look at your Reddit history. Oh, here you are talking about... the money you've spent on API calls to Claude...? Okay, cool cool. Love having to sleuth for every project I see now.

I wonder if there’s lists of sites on the dark web that are just “what version of php are all these websites using?”

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Insane headline misses the point.

And the problem gets worse over time because the more often people encounter this kind of hostile, bad-faith / scolding energy, the more the kinds of people you want to talk to will go, “Nah, this isn’t for me,” and disappear.

My theory: all online spaces suffer from the Frequent Poster problem where the people who are online a ton define a space because they are ALWAYS replying, drowning out people who have lives that involve being less online. Bluesky is heavily tilted toward the Frequent Posters who give bad vibes.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

Instagram influencers are repeatedly going viral by making fake cease-and-desist letters from Flock that suggest they are at risk by talking about surveillance. These videos have millions of views. Meanwhile, useful projects like DeFlock got actual cease-and-desists www.404media.co/the-rise-of-...

The GitS video is dead. Before setting it public, I’d gone through 5 revisions to edit out previous copyright claims. It never got blocked though, and now it is. So this is it, my friends. Fair use doesn’t exist. Never forget.

Here’s the Patreon/YouTube Member version of the video, which is already claimed, but can still be viewed. For now… Watch it while you can. GHOST IN THE SHELL [Dungeon Dwellers Ver.] youtu.be/mCqa0hMlH5A

NEW VIDEO Games, manga, movies, TV series, books, VR experiences... stage plays?? The net is vast, and so is my nearly 4-hour retrospective on the entire Ghost in the Shell franchise. youtu.be/LznUtjujj28

Loved this retrospective! @dungeonchill.bsky.social youtu.be/LznUtjujj28

I guess these are the games, and memories, I'm stuck with for the rest of my life: aftermath.site/video-game-phy...

For @aftermath.site, I reviewed the Steam Machine. It costs $1049 base. It is beautifully designed. It might be one of the most important computers ever made, launched at the worst time imaginable. aftermath.site/steam-machin...

It’s been almost 30 years since the Fifth Element came out and you still can’t just buy a tank top like this any store. What are we doing.

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

“The new James Bond game doesn’t have enough kissing hot girls and his boss is DEI,” I say to my microwave as a frozen dinner turns in slow circles, each rotation another sliver taken away from my soul

Watching Stand Alone Complex and I think my favorite lyric in the end song is “She’s Incredible Math”, that such an incredible compliment.

Death Stranding is real if you want it to be. For @aftermath.site, here are some of my favorite forms of modular storage: expensive wall units, knock-offs of vintage Italian furniture no longer produced, modular German tool boxes, and entirely new 3D printed systems. aftermath.site/best-modular...

Millennials: we have got to start talking up the Financial Crisis. The Greatest Generation dined out on the Great Depression for 80 years. If we’re not all out there talking about how we had to have five roommates and sell our plasma to buy ringtones I’m worried we’ll be missing our shot

This is like one of the worst security vulnerabilities I've ever seen, they hard coded the root password identically in every single mower and the firmware resets it back every single time you update it. It can shows you the wi-fi credentials, address and email of every user. Great piece by Sean.
