so apparently, people managed to download and archive everything on parler, including "deleted" content like driver's license pictures (and pictures also don't have exif data removed), good going

Nazis on Reddit having second thoughts installing the Parler web app because it’s a “progressive” web app.

wanna go to MCH
random fun fact: the Germanic name Harald/Harold stems from some proto-Germanic name "harja-walda". By some weird sequence of events, there is a place in Finland today called "Harjavalta", which also gets its name nearly entirely unchanged from that old proto-Germanic name.
oh man, they managed to take the vaccine development speedrun time from the previous WR of 4 years (Merck, mumps vaccine, 1967) to sub-1 year
Good morning, just read a column where some guy complains that old art was beautiful but new art is bad because art has recently turned all political and stuff
nothing new under the sun, that is
I say this because I was listening to the radio and heard this exact thing twice in a row

Today is a sad day. Seyðisfjörður, a town in east Iceland has been hit heavily by huge mudslides and parts of the town have been essentially obliterated. Thankfully, no people harmed and the town has been evacuated.
Where one of those mudslides is, used to stand a huge vintage tech museum. With huge punch card readers and writers, ancient computers, and other gear. And we are talking about big concrete industrial house on 2 or 3 stories.
That house seems to have just disappeared...

Cyberpunk 2077
This is actually an IRL art piece demonstrating the hypercapitalist system in all of its splendor.
This is ironically very cyberpunk.

your books "expiring" is just another example of innovation under capitalism
Sometimes I think back to the golden age of GUIs...
...that is, the brief moment in time after the GUI was invented but before someone else ruined it by writing applications for it

Get Ready for False Side Effects
"...if you take 10 million people and just wave your hand back and forth over their upper arms, in the next two months you would expect to see about 4,000 heart attacks. About 4,000 strokes. Over 9,000 new diagnoses of cancer. And about 14,000 of that ten million will die, out of usual all-causes mortality."

I think characterising Tom Nook as some evil capitalist is kind of unfair. I mean what kind of "normal" capitalist home loan comes with no interest, no deadline or schedule for paying it back, and doesn't even remind you to pay the loan?
Tom Nook just asks you once that you pay back what it cost to build your house, and then thanks you if you choose to do so.
