Pop quiz hotshot: how long can you keep shuffling around the same chunk of money?

Eventually somebody is going to want to, or have to, cash out.

A blue sky for Bluesky.

A clear blue sky dotted with whispy clumps of fluffy white clouds.

I really loved this album when it came out. I listened to it a whole lot on repeat.

Meta had allowed users to create publicly available chatbots of child celebrities, including Walker Scobell, a 16-year-old film star. Asked for a picture of the teen actor at the beach, the bot produced a lifelike shirtless image.

“Pretty cute, huh?” the avatar wrote beneath the picture.

I feel like "Meta is generating on-demand CSAM for users" should have consequences or something...

Unpacking, but for bagging groceries.

You could probably tell some interesting stories with that.

It's a cool morning in NYC and it seems the finance guys got a new batch of grey Patagonia vests.

I wonder how they feel about it, compared to the previous batch of blue.

And what's worse, is their profile page shows the old email as an "alternate email that you can use to sign in with", which is a lie.

Emails sent to that old email are bounced.

This is pure malpractice.

Burning peoples online identities because they don't want to support their old auth systems.

This means, my friend has lost access to a ton of systems that don't provide a way to change email without access to the old one.

We contact MS support and their response was essentially "lol too bad"

There was no warning that this was a destructive action.

My friend has a @live.com email they use for a lot of things.

They're trying to migrate to an email they own with more control.

Luckily MS lets you add an alias to a @live.com email, so you can log in with something else.

If you do that, MS instantly kills the existing @live.com email.

Ooooo, your lawyer parent may also enjoy the @legaleagle.tv video with a Japanese lawyer going through some Ace Attorney stuff as well. They highlight a lot of differences between the 2 countries judicial systems.

I mean this more as in he says a bunch of stuff, that's directly contradicted by his boss. He's not in the loop, he's just there to... be a different face. He's trying to toe the line, but not involved in what's actually going on.
