Appeals court seems lost on how Internet Archive harms publishers
  • The IA needs to lay low a bit before we loose them. There's plenty of stuff out there they can archive that we need that won't piss off copyright.

    We need an ipfs or torrent library that's out of easy reach of the courts.

  • Supreme Court tosses out claim Biden administration coerced social media companies to remove content
  • I think bi-partisan challenging of opinion pieces containing verifiable falsehoods is a pretty healthy idea for the public.

  • Trump is inciting violence as the election approaches
  • In theory, it works that way.

    In practice, we've never openly stopped anyone with those systems.

    When it comes time for them to justify the invasion of privacy, they don't have any school shooters stopped, and they don't have any Unabombers stopped. They don't have any cases of stolen kids stopped. They'd be shouting all that from the rooftops to expand and extend that funding.

    If they have actually stopped anyone, it's at super-secret spy game levels. The guys you're expecting them to stop aren't even a concern for them. Worse yet, they may actually be rooting for them.

  • The YouTube app could finally get a sleep timer (APK teardown)
  • I totally get the intent of this message, but it's so beautifully reads both ways.

  • Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?
  • I was totally on board until centos got screwed over ( and subsequently AM2 )

    I'll be a cold day before I touch any fedora or redhat again or even mention to another person that they should run it.

  • Arizona toddler rescued after getting trapped in a Tesla with a dead battery | The Model Y’s 12-volt battery, which powers things like the doors and windows, died
  • Yeah, My volt battery is in the floor of the trunk. If the battery on the volt dies you can't open the trunk easily. Physical locks in the doors are no problem but they didn't put a keyhole on the damn trunk.

    You can pop the hood and access the jump terminals and then pop the trunk. You can also crawl into the back hatch from inside pull a panel off and pop the trunk.

  • Amazon Mulls $5 to $10 monthly price tag for unprofitable Alexa service, AI revamp
  • Yeah that's kind of the direction I was thinking. I really want to have access to the screen and the touch controls on the shows though. It'll all come in time.

    There's another really wicked side project I saw running on pis. You put a Bluetooth enabled device in every room and it tracks where your items are. So you could ask where your keys aren't to triangulate which room in your house they were in.

  • Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined
  • Filebot a piece of software, it looks up your files on TMDB and themoviedb and renamese your files based on those lookups. Plex takes that naming very very well. We really need jellyfin to work with it too.

  • Amazon Mulls $5 to $10 monthly price tag for unprofitable Alexa service, AI revamp
  • I assume their motherboard is a write-off. The form factor in speaker are probably all we have to start with. For a few bucks you could turn it into a decent Bluetooth speaker. Want to get a little more intense if you want to do anything interesting like voice control.

    I'd really like to find a way to drive the display and touch screen on the shows

  • Amazon Mulls $5 to $10 monthly price tag for unprofitable Alexa service, AI revamp
  • How long till there's a solid project to gut Alexa devices and run them from pis arduinos and pico's?

  • Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined
  • I'm trying to switch to Jellyfin I really am. With Plex I could just throw a file bot at my files normalize the names and it was fine. I can't mark things watched or unwatched from the Roku client. I've now tried three separate times to get the Doctor who specials to show up with names. Plex is by no means perfect but it's so much easier to keep Plex goomed

  • Elon Musk Begs Advertisers to Return as Twitter's Revenue Plunges
  • Threw away the branding, threw away the user base, threw away the advertisers, throw away the staff.

    What exactly does he have left?

  • Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day?
  • Might be more life to serving just potatoes on St Pats from that perspective.

  • Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.
  • Unfortunately way too many companies and people.

    It's pretty easy to get in there and throw a couple of bots around. People have created entire help desk ticketing systems inside of it. They integrate payment systems. You don't see any of this until you have a certain specific set of needs and then it's everywhere.

    There's a lot of plug-in support for corporate apps and people that create themes for things for corporate.

  • People who started learning a second language, how has it made you aware how broken English is ?
  • Yeah that's seriously like a super power, just reading names on social media feels so good

  • People who started learning a second language, how has it made you aware how broken English is ?
  • I started Russian Duolingo a while back. You can make English sentences that would take five or six words in two words under first impressions the language doesn't f*** around it gets right to the point.

    But then I started getting to conjugations and it turns into a dumpster fire real quick.

  • The Christian right is coming for divorce next
  • That's how religion keeps power. Only our group are righteous and are doing it right.

  • So I got hit with Microsoft's Windows 11 nag screen...
  • They added in some anti-cheat stuff that doesn't play well.

  • So I got hit with Microsoft's Windows 11 nag screen...
  • We're close. We just need a couple of vendors to step up and take some responsibility.

    Steam already picked up all the hard stuff.

    Adobe products, Outlook, and of all fucking things Roblox.

    I probably also really wouldn't hurt if somebody could manage to make Nvidia background removal working OBS Linux.

    The Statue of Unity is the world's tallest statue, with a height of 182 metres (597 feet), located near Kevadia in the state of Gujarat, India. It depicts Indian statesman and independence activist Vallabhbhai Patel (1875–1950), who was the first deputy prime minister and home minister of independent India...

    The project was first announced in 2010, and construction started in October 2013 ... with a total construction cost of ₹27 billion (US$422 million). It was designed by Indian sculptor Ram V. Sutar and was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, on 31 October 2018, the 143rd anniversary of Patel's birth.

    Črni Vrh Slovenia ice formations circa 2016

    Slovenia

    High above the village of Črni Vrh, fantastical ice formations—including spikes over a yard long—encase the trees and lookout tower atop Mount Javornik. The windswept ice, or hard rime, is the result of fog freezing after a week of snow and gales. This image appears in the December 2016 issue of National Geographic magazine.

    [SPOILER] S[8||11]x01 non-spoilery Review

    spoiler

    Damn they got down to business right away! Loved the humor. Love the story, Cheezy streaming refs went on a little long. Fry, Leela and the Professors Voicing had a few rough spots that wouldn't have happened in the last incarnation, it honestly kinda reminded me of some of the early voicing in season 1. John DiMaggio's performance was flawless. I love that they kinda mixed in a small anthology, had most of the people make cameos.

    Well-Preserved 3,000-Year-Old Bronze Sword Found In Germany

    https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/bronze-age-sword-germany-180982399/

    archaeologists excavating a gravesite in the southern Bavarian town of Nördlingen found a 3,000-year-old sword in excellent condition

    >Given the soft nature of bronze, historians have previously wondered whether such blades served a ceremonial purpose, rather than a practical purpose on the battlefield. A few years ago, scientists even staged sword fights in order to learn more about how the Bronze Age weapons could have been used effectively in battle, despite being much easier to damage and harder to repair than their iron successors.

    Hey, are you guys supposed to be playing with the artifacts?

    it's research!

    "Blood falls" in Antarctica. This water contains ferrous iron, which, combining with atmospheric air, oxidizes and forms rust. It gives the waterfall that blood-red colour

    Source:

    /r/interestingasfuck /u/XyRow666

    I honestly found this one googling around, but XyRow666 presented a far nicer collage than anywhere else I could find.

    more info: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/blood-falls

    Roughly two million years ago, the Taylor Glacier sealed beneath it a small body of water which contained an ancient community of microbes. Trapped below a thick layer of ice, they have remained there ever since, isolated inside a natural time capsule. Evolving independently of the rest of the living world, these microbes exist in a place with no light or free oxygen and little heat, and are essentially the definition of “primordial ooze.” The trapped lake has very high salinity and is rich in iron, which gives the waterfall its red color. A fissure in the glacier allows the subglacial lake to flow out, forming the falls without contaminating the ecosystem within.

    The Crooked Forest

    The Crooked Forest (Polish: Krzywy Las) is a grove of oddly-shaped pine trees located in the village of Nowe Czarnowo near the town of Gryfino, West Pomerania, in north-western Poland. It is a protected natural monument of Poland.

    This grove of 400 pines was planted in around 1930. Each pine tree bends sharply to the north, just above ground level, then curves back upright after a sideways excursion of one to three meters (3–9 feet). The curved pines are enclosed by a surrounding forest of straight pine trees.

    It is generally believed that some form of human tool or technique was used to make the trees grow or bend this way, but the method has never been determined, and remains a mystery to this day. It has been speculated that the trees may have been deformed to create naturally curved timber for use in furniture or boat building. Others surmise that a snowstorm could have bent the trunks, but there is little evidence of that.

    Many people have been trying to find an answer to this mystery, but since the town of Gryfino was largely abandoned between the early stages of World War II until the 1970s, the people who were there before the war and probably had the answer to the mystery of the Crooked Forest are now likely gone forever.

    Earlier this year, this lenticular cloud appeared over Turkey.

    There are a lot of hoax or fake weather pictures on social media, but the viral pictures of a rose-colored cloud in Turkey are legitimate. On January 19th, 2023, a strange cloud appeared above the Bursa province.
