Also, it’s not even vaguely gentle. Broken ribs are extremely common

Don’t quote me on this, but I think this guy was one of the people who went to the Arctic to see a 24 hour sunny day and actually accepted the evidence

The Union Jack itself only represents 3 of the 4 countries in the UK. And since the missing one, Wales, has a dragon on their flag, it seems like an easy fix that will make the country as a whole cooler

No, that’s google. A leaked memo indicates that they deliberately made search worse so people would have to search twice and see twice the number of ads

AI companies lose money every time someone uses it. Even those that charge per-token

They say “average” volume. What do they mean by that? Or, more precisely, how are they measuring that? RMS? LUFS?

Probably LUFS, but even with LUFS there are ways to make perceived volume louder while remaining within a threshold

This seems like two unrelated stories. It wasn’t his decision to buy the car, nor did he design it. So it seems unlikely that he’s resigning because people don’t like the design or idea of it

I had to uninstall chrome and switch to edge on my work laptop just to make it usable. 8 is barely enough, if you’re very careful

Yes, Mark, chase the next thing. I’m sure that will be the one that works out for you

We can, at least, identify her exactly in the film, as she celebrates her 23rd birthday

That logo hasn’t grown on me

“Thousands”…

Don’t do Musk’s propaganda job for him. The far-right are doing well enough in the UK without people like you amplifying their lies for them

There are definitely plenty of addictive substances which are banned in the UK

Do farms collectively use more water than data centres collectively, or does the average farm use more water than the average data centre?

Basically anything where the platform prioritises some things over others, rather than just giving you the posts/videos/whatever in order from the people you’ve subscribed to. Recommendation engines would be one example

They don’t sell as many ads, but they do sell ads. It was only a few months ago they announced that ads would be coming to their maps app. There’s ads in news, the App Store, music, and settings on iOS. Maybe more than aren’t coming to mind immediately

That’s how this video was allegedly made, although I’m extremely sceptical

Oooooh-weee-OOOOH…

For now. Maintaining v2 takes resources, and google can make it more and more difficult with every update. Eventually the cost/benefit ratio is going to get too high

Excellent. Make platforms with algorithmic feeds count as publishers, too, and you can solve 90% of the world’s problems
