I’m GOING to the Olympics this year. Totally stoked to travel to France. It is the only vacation my wife and I are taking this year.

And other major expansions for elden ring and FFXIV released recently. There’s potential overlap in the player base. 90% is a big dip though.

It’s a distraction from the fact that their candidate is a felon x34 (at minimum)

OC as in stolen from Reddit. Pretty sad.

Hell yeah - this is great news.

The perfect summer treat

Mad love for Qobuz.

Very good movie

I can snap the tendon over my knuckles kinda hard to where it makes a popping/snapping sound. If I do it close to someone’s cheek, it stings like releasing a tiny rubber band.

I can also move my ears independent of one another.

This view is close minded.

You want to know why I love dat boi? Dat boi is a completely self-made meme. So many other memes are based in nostalgic childrens shows, funny faces, relatable situations, or references. Not dat boi. Dat boi is completely absurd. It’s a low-res frog on a unicycle, and an arbitrary method for greeting him. The first person to ever upvote dat boi did not do so out of recognition. The first person to ever upvote dat boi did not do so because a pre-existing meme format. The first person to ever upvote dat boi upvoted a meme literally pulled from the ether by sheer human creativity and willpower. Dat boi is evidence that humans can stare into the meaningless void of eternity and force their own meaning onto to it. I will always upvote dat boi, o shit waddup!

The Librem 5 is a Linux phone that the reviewer tried to use as their daily driver for a week. However, they found several issues that made it impractical for regular use including poor battery life, a subpar camera without basic features, and lack of compatibility with many popular apps. The reviewer also noted problems with the phone randomly powering off and convergence mode with the next dock being unstable. While the reviewer thought the Librem 5 was a cool device, they ultimately decided it was not ready to replace their main phone due to these limitations and instability issues. The reviewer expressed interest in reviewing other Linux phones if provided to them.

So much to digest in this article it’s unreal (the comment below is AI generated and picks up everything in this weirdly laid out news site):

• Donald Trump compared his legal troubles to Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s imprisonment and death in a Russian penal colony, drawing criticism for minimizing Navalny’s plight.
• Republicans have touted claims by Alexander Smirnov about Biden corruption in Ukraine, but he has now been charged with lying to the FBI and admitted Russian intelligence helped him smear Hunter Biden.
• A transgender teenager named Nex Benedict was beaten at their Oklahoma school and later died, highlighting the dangers transgender students face, especially after Oklahoma’s anti-trans bathroom bill.
• Yulia Navalnaya, wife of slain Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, was temporarily banned from Twitter for unclear reasons after posting a video accusing Putin of killing her husband.
• Bernie Moreno, a Republican Senate candidate in Ohio, suggested women don’t need abortions and that men should help carry heavy items like strollers instead.
• Christian nationalist figures like Russell Vought seek to infuse their ideology more deeply into a potential second Trump administration.
• E. Jean Carroll’s lawyer hinted they may sue Donald Trump for a third time if he continues denying the rape and defaming her after being ordered to pay $88 million.
• Samuel Alito complained that people who oppose homosexuality are unfairly branded as bigots.

4 star day

Feeling good about where I’m headed, not enjoying the growing pains

Ai summary because it seems like folks aren’t reading the article:

The study finds that threatening anti-piracy messages aimed at deterring digital piracy have the opposite effect on men, finding they increase piracy behaviors by 18% in men. However, such messages can reduce intended piracy in women by over 50%. The research also showed educational messages had no impact on intended piracy for both men and women. Notably, those with more favorable views of piracy saw even higher increases in intended piracy when exposed to threatening messages. The findings suggest anti-piracy groups should tailor their messages for different genders and consider alternative educational approaches to avoid unintended consequences like increasing piracy.

Seems like threatening messages specifically drive piracy up in men, but not for women. If you have a favorable view on piracy then the aggressive ads make it more likely that you’ll follow through.

It’s pretty much saying that the industry may want to reconsider the way they frame their warnings because it may actually be influencing people to take action.
