This little guy is making me laugh:

I love those cartoon-style impact craters.

I’m picturing the “isn’t there someone you forgot to ask” meme, with the Israeli flag. How long before they resume their attacks and scupper this peace deal?

I often think that it would be great if one of the Star Trek/Gate or similar shows would go to a very young world (and not just dinosaurs). Obviously budget would be a factor and having no intelligent life limits the story options so I can see why not, but it would be an interesting thing to see.

I don’t think anyone actually thinks Linux users fear Windows, but it’s required for the joke.

Part of being a maintainer is helping to onboard new contributors, this is why many projects have a tag for “good first issue”. Teaching people how to use the library/tool is part of that.

The top comment on that site says you can already disable all of these features from within the settings. Is this true?

Kinda weird experience to be reading textual descriptions of memes and having to reconstruct them in my head. They had enough to say to not need to pad out their word count that way.

I was going to quote this part as well - nice bit of malicious compliance.

If people want to ask something that they don’t want tied to them, they should use a throwaway account. Scrapers will probably grab the text quickly (especially if they’re using ActivityPub) so it’s a false sense of security to do it days later.

This is still what I think of when thinking about GTA. Multiplayer had the arrows pointing to the other players, and sometimes a player would be barrelling towards you in a tanker, crushing everything in its path. Sometimes you had a bazooka and could shot at the arrow before that player came on screen. Great memories.

No-one’s commented on the skeleton watching and touching themself in the original picture. Although, I guess skeletons don’t really have anything to touch down there.

I have a bunch of identical-looking white USB3 cables that may or may not transmit any data at all, depending on what they arrived free with. I wish they had little colour bands on like fuses do.

And (for now) they still have postcards for sale - people take a photo of them and send that instead.

QR code menus seemed to really take off when COVID was around, which made sense, but I guess restaurants got used to saving on printing costs and now they’re here to stay.

Are you referring to the photo of a baby eating meat from a bone?

I was watching a video the other day that was showing WiFi sensing using TOMMY which uses channel state information (CSI) - something this article describes as the previous approach. That was already quite impressive, although not nearly as powerful as this teaser hints at.

We’ll have to wait for the hang on, the Taipei conference was last year so this is old news. Here’s the paper: https://publikationen.bibliothek.kit.edu/1000185756

This might be too good to be a dad joke

Scotland Yard are saying that unless they’re allowed to spend £50m on Palantir, they’ll have to reduce officer numbers? I can’t see their logic.
