I’ve seen headlines where some CEO (usually in tech) had the self-awareness to tell their workforce that AI is coming for everyone’s jobs, “including mine.” So at least some of them know it.

Sure why not

  1. It’s 2025, is there even a browser that doesn’t reopen your tabs by default? Who are the criminals building those?
  2. Keeping a zillion tabs open is a resource strain on classic computers. If people are up for it, they could explore saving tabs to stuff like task apps or bookmark services.

Which is literally why I mentioned there is a real test here.

Whoa whoa whoa with “they” here. It was like a couple hundred intrepid and possibly more brave than smart swimmers. The rest of us Chicagoans were perfectly fine watching them be (wet) guinea pigs.

I don’t watch Kimmel. Nothing particularly against him I’m just not that into late night shows. But the real test here will be whether he’s been gagged from specific topics and people.

The last known photo of Chester Bennington is him smiling and surrounded by his family.

Your coworker needs help.

When the rich figured out that our innate tribalism could be weaponized to distract us from their abuse, lawlessness, and greed.

I think you meant from a drone

This is a travesty of travical proportions and I am currently drafting a class action lawsuit against Gabe Newell

Substack sent a push alert encouraging users to subscribe to a Nazi newsletter that claimed Jewish people are a sickness and that we must eradicate minorities to build a “White homeland.”

This has been a problem for years: Substack has a Nazi problem - The Atlantic

Substack won’t commit to removing Nazi content - TechCrunch

I don’t think this can be ignored anymore. If you’re on Substack, please consider one of its many fine alternatives. Wired wrote about a few last year.

Plus, it’s quite easy to move a newsletter these days.

 

Wild new… electro punk? band I found on YouTube. They also have a couple chill tracks, like Being One that sound more like drum and bass (or someone correct me I’m not always great with genres)

 

Daryl's a good essayist and, in my opinion, this one hits a little different, probably even for people who aren't into video games.

It explores our anxiety and how we handle reaching the end of a game, story... and other things in life.

If you have just under 24 ~~hours~~ minutes to spare, I think it's worth your time.

Edit: No idea why the YouTube summary text in this post seems to be in German; it is an all-English video.

 

Is that they tried visiting the US deliberately. Like, on purpose.

 

I want to redesign my personal site around two things:

1 - Home page will be a personal landing page, like those “link in bio” tools to show people where you have accounts on social media, newsletters, etc. (such as https://bio.link/. I can share a basic personal page I’ve set up there but I don’t know if that’s allowed here)

2 - A decent blog experience, mainly for writing, sharing news links, and art I like (both personal and found)

Anyone know of a theme that tackles these two? I’m coming up empty handed with ThemeForest and Template Monster, even when trying variations of these keywords.

Thanks

The algorithm just brought this bassist + rapper to me and I’ve gone down the rabbit hole. Crazy talented. And is that a 7-string bass??

Here’s a bonus video with a different vibe. I’m really digging it. He also has some good tapping tracks.

Edit: Turns out it’s an 8-string guitar, 2 of which are bass strings to cater to this kind of playstyle. Wild!

 

This is from NPR’s coverage

 
 

They have the entire team from when it was shut down. Pub was sold to a game studio who wants them to operate independently. And there are plans to bring back the print edition.

People are into vinyl and tube TVs again. Barnes & Noble just opened a huge branch in a hot (meaning: expensive) neighborhood here in Chicago. I guess people like physical things again.

 
 

I'm diving into Lemmy, been on Masto since 2019. Also a big Reddit user trying to get away, and I hope to find a feature here that's an equivalent to MultiReddits (or 'Custom Reddits' as they seem to be called now).

The idea is: A way to view a collection of specific Lemmy communities, probably around a theme like gaming, wholesome topics, or tech, etc. Sometimes I like to focus on a specific corner of the internet instead of the flood of everything I subscribe to. If you need examples, here is my personal gaming multireddit and my HappyPlace multireddit (no not like that).

Is this possible with Lemmy? Thanks for any help.

 

Someone in my Destiny community asked whether the USB-C port on the Magic Keyboard for iPad can pass data, or if it’s just for charging. I decided to look it up.

Apple’s support document makes it clear that, unfortunately, the port only does power (check the ‘Charge your iPad’ section, pictured here). But then check the section I highlighted, emphasis mine:

Never connect one end of a USB-C cable to the USB-C port on your iPad and the other end to the USB-C port on your Magic Keyboard

Never!

I need to know what happens! Is Apple hiding the secret to infinite power in broad daylight??
