If you're using Win11, do yourself a favor and hit "Pause for 5 weeks" on your updates.

It would appear that @microsoft.com has released another busted patch. Their March cumulative update, KB5053598 for Windows 11 version 24H2, is freezing during install, failing install, and BSODing systems.

It's wild how rough these companies fought against torrents and digital files to then literally vacuum up everything digitally into their devil AI garbage machine and look surprised when people get mad.
It’s time for the studios to come off the sidelines. After this industry has spent decades fighting piracy, it cannot stand idly by while tech companies steal full libraries of content for their own financial gain.
Writers Guild Calls on Studios to Take “Immediate Legal Action” Against AI Companies
The union is arguing that tech companies "looted the studios’ intellectual property" while Hollywood's major companies stood by.

What do people use to reference multiple PDFs on macOS?

I need solid multi-word search, easy navigation between open PDFs, the ability to pull up PDFs from a library easily (ideally with Spotlight-like search), ideally bookmarks.

Preview is usually great but is missing most of those.

Today in "Wait, WHAT?" I learned that Gene Wolfe — recondite, abstruse SF/F author Gene Wolfe — invented the machine that makes Pringles potato chips. It's on the company's own FAQ, which also implies his signature mustache may have inspired their ad mascot. www.pringles.com/en-us/faq.html

forever tickled that Outlaw Star is a nothing entity in Japan because every single time i've tried to watch it i've gotten 8 episodes in and forgotten about it. It truly is nothing.

It's been years since I've seen this but I am once again forcibly reminded that everything good about FIREFLY was basically lifted wholesale from OUTLAW STAR.
Welcome to the Future... The Future of OUTLAW STAR, weekdays at 5.30... only on TOONAMI. 🚀

A trailer that I have a great deal of fondness for as I'd see it often during Outlaw Star's 2004 run on UK Toonami, so it has that nostalgic oomph <3

Agree 100%, you should be able to demand your voice/face not to be used in LLM works or used to train LLM models.
Authors — if a school, library, conference, or festival includes a clause such as this in their agreement, ask for it to be deleted or changed. In this ever-changing AI landscape, broad clauses such as these are not just unsafe, they’re potentially dangerous.

If the US is serious about protecting people’s data from ending up in the hands of foreign adversaries, Congress should toss out the TikTok ban and instead pass comprehensive data privacy legislation to prevent the collection of data in the first place.

Trying to find a science fiction short story I read years ago in Analog or Asimov (I think). I remember nothing but the vague outlines of the plot… will describe in tweet below. If it rings a bell, can you point me to it?
