My wife telling my (adult) daughter why we’re not going to the Filipino food festival (cos it’s raining):

“Are you kidding me? Everyone’s gonna get sick! A bunch of Filipinos with wet heads?!”

Ok these are fake, right? I mean I know people mess with the badging on their cars for laughs but (I’ve seen jeeps with Lamborghini badging etc) but are people actually that embarrassed? https://tech.lgbt/@LilahTovMoon/112581367855436119

Is there a canonical essay about (the problems with and complexities of) social media aggregation as journalism that I can just link to so I don't have to break down the angles and weirdnesses myself?

There has to be, right?

@kissane @evan My favorite version of this is when they do this and just put embedded links to the tweets/posts, so that when/if the person deletes the tweet it leaves a big dead block in their “article”

So just a note on from Bluesky:

“Cara has few to no real safety protocols in place. They have no experience with the "behind the scenes" part of running a SM site and it's starting to show.”

this was in response to someone saying they were being trolled, and there were no mechanisms to deal with a troll.

This evenings rabbit hole; listening to covers of Twisted Sisters “Burn In Hell” on YT.
A song I truly love for many reasons.

Unsurprisingly, it’s REALLY hard for bands to match the band that wrote and performed it. Although there were some very impressive SOLO video versions done.
Which …🫡

What copilot recall will do is force companies to disallow any remote access with a personal Windows computer unless NAC detection can include recall.

@bynkii Crap, that just sunk in.
Yeah, you can kiss off connecting from your personal computer to a terminal server or remote app unless you have that verifiably turned off on your personal machine.

You know, I'm a woman of contradictions.

I have breasts all of my own. I see them every morning when I dress for the day and every night when I get ready for bed.

And yet... whenever I see a pic with someone's breasts plainly, mostly visible, I'm like, "Ack! No! Scroll, scroll, scroll!"

It's weirdly embarrassing.

@timberwraith Heavens, most things that we as human beings have are not necessarily rational, they just are.

That’s the interesting part, of course, figuring out why, sometimes.

@lapcatsoftware @Verso And via @mjtsai on their blog, it appears that Ben has issued a statement, make of it what you will:

addendum: having now read that in its entirety, and noticing that there appears to be no surtleesstudio.com site OTHER than that post, and that the language of the post itself seems to be amazingly SEO-like, I’m going to consider myself MORE suspicious than fears allayed.

Maybe I’m just paranoid.

Say what you will about Apple1️⃣, but one of the things I absolutely love about setting up a Mac system is that it asks you ONCE after creating a new account if you want to sign into iCloud.

If you say no? It says “are you sure?”

AND YOU NEVER HEAR ABOUT IT AGAIN.

Nigel Farage getting milkshaked (i’m hearing reports that it’s banana)

picture of Nigel Farage being splattered with a milkshake thrown by a young blonde woman in a crowd, the milkshake is gracefully in flight, curving toward his face She looks happy
picture of Nigel Farage being splattered with a milkshake thrown by a young blonde woman in a crowd, the milkshake is now splattering everywhere. Impact!

@latelesley @SimonPegg Yeah, I don’t know. I’m seeing people on BlueSky saying they’re hearing it was staged from Twitter, I’m seeing people on Twitter saying they’re hearing it was staged from BlueSky…they arrested two people so I guess we’ll find out pretty damn quick.

Alternately everyone could just start throwing milkshakes at the Farage whenever he shows his face, and then we’ll find out. 😂

@latelesley @SimonPegg And now we have someone who bothered to put in a little legwork so to speak:

“1/ About that theory that the Clacton incident was staged ; it's not.

The allegation is that the throwee is the gf of reform's press officer ; Emily Hewertson.

Why do i say its not her? Well, here's why.

At brexitcentral, her author bio states she is 19 (for an articles dated may 2019. ...”

What I want to see from WWDC '24: Apple unveils a replacement for Stage Manager in iOS 18.

The new Strange Manager rotates your desktop through a non-euclidean space warped by blasphemous geometries; eldritch transition effects include Transform into Ravens and Fly Away, Eaten by Shoggoths, Tentacles, and The Horror, The Horror.

I've got an / puzzle, and I could use any suggestions anybody has to throw out there.
Back in 2022 in the middle of the pandemic a medical provider in NYC sent my uncle an iPad to attend a virtual appointment on.
I'm trying to figure out how to return it to them, or barring that, to factory reset it so that it can be returned to service as a useful device rather than a nearly brand-new iPad needing to be recycled.
This has proven to be... difficult.

@jik @philip @Caution @spocko @steter @djg @plambrechtsen @grumpybozo @Archnemysis @sollat Oh. Yeah, based on the above update, there’s a very good chance it has MDM installed. Hopefully, if so, and you restore it and get it onto a Wi-Fi, it will phone home and say who it belongs to.
