I think the new James Bond films are going to have a problem coming up with villains who are worse than the ones we have in real life.

I'm making my usual #BandcampFriday plea: if you love music, consider spending as much today on music at Bandcamp as you do every month on music streaming subs. One $10 sale can make an artist's day-- and put as much money in their pocket as ~5000 or more streams!

Did Google remove the full url path from their search results!? I could have sworn it would show the specific URLs which I would use to discover sub pages I hadn't visited yet but now everything is mushed together as the hostname... God I hate dark UX patterns...

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.
The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.
Happy Black History Month.

Spent a few more minutes looking at StopIce.net. It's bad.
They don't seem to want to ask for help with securing it, so I'll ask my infosec savvy followers with some free time to reach out to them.
Until then, I'd encourage people to not supply it with any personal or location data.

When anyone from SCTV dies it’s like 30 people have died. Every character they created was as alive as anyone else you’ve ever met.

Goodnight to the brilliant and beloved Catherine O’Hara, whose presence brought so much joy to our screens. Here she is giving one of her scene-stealing performances as Gail, the Mister Softee vendor, in Martin Scorsese's AFTER HOURS (1985). ❤️

New from 404 Media: here is the user guide for ELITE, the tool Palantir made for ICE. A map shows people on a map; ICE clicks them, brings up their dossier. ICE uses to find which neighborhoods to target. We obtained it, you can now read the document for yourself: www.404media.co/here-is-the-...

You can vibe code your way to a working prototype. You cannot vibe code or one-shot your way to a competitive product that works at scale. The hard part isn't writing code; it's the architectural supervision.

If you're a programmer switching to Linux is pretty straight forward, and after the learning curve the day-to-day of programming from Linux is way nicer than Windows.
You asked and you shall receive! Now you better watch it cause it took me two days to make this! (unless you're really enjoying Windows 11)
