@espn.com Your ESPN+ produced sound mix for hockey games is incredibly distracting. I don't want it to feel like the game is being played in a museum except when something happens and you ratchet the crowd noise to 11. Hearing players shouting and on ice sounds more clearly isn't worth it.

You shouldn't steal eBooks unless you have good lawyers Would you download a car?

The message I'm getting here is that it's wrong to download a single album, movie, or ebook, but if you do it millions of times, that's "data science" and you're hailed as a genius for shitting out another LLM "AI" thingy.

The DOGE website is seemingly so insecure it can be edited by anyone Researchers say a database that populates the Department of Government Efficiency website can be modified by anyone who knows where to look, making it easy to deface the site.

This level of incompetence is appalling...

Senate Slammed With β€˜1,600 Calls a Minute’ Amid Trump Chaos Many of the calls are urging Congress Democrats to β€œfight harder.”

Keep those calls coming, especially if your senators and reps are Republicans or Fetterman. Also send emails and letters. The plus side for letters is they can't be deleted as easily.

DeepSeek iOS app sends data unencrypted to ByteDance-controlled servers Apple’s defenses that protect data from being sent in the clear are globally disabled.

This article speaks for itself, so I'll just add that it's not xenophobia to care about your privacy and the security of your info and not trust upstarts like DeepSeek who are being applauded for cheaply cutting corners. Turns out basic InfoSec is one of those corners. Triple DES in 2025? Really? 🀦

Out of curiosity, what's bad about it? Is the algorithm not as good, not enough content you want to follow, or too much politics or something?

And more importantly, ranked choice voting. As it stands, any vote that isn't for the Democratic and Republican Parties is akin to not voting at all.

I'm not gonna lie, the only thing I ever used Tumblr for back in the day was porn πŸ˜‚

Tumblr feels like an old school social networking platform more in the vein of MySpace and it's a shame that people aren't as interested in that structure anymore and it's pretty different than TikTok.

Absolutely, the feeds you can build and subscribe to on Bluesky are really great and I find the main feed more useful than Mastodon's too. I also like how easy it is to subscribe to lists for following and blocking people here. This place is pretty friendly for non technical people.

OKLAHOMA SUPREME COURT ORDERS REMOVAL OF TEN COMMANDMENTS MONUMENT FROM THE STATE CAPITOL GROUNDS | American Civil Liberties Union Oklahoma Supreme Court Orders Removal of Ten Commandments Monument from the State Capitol Grounds

Why do they think they can do this again when the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled previously it violates the Oklahoma Constitution? Newsflash, Christofascists, the Oklahoma Constitution hasn't been amended. And if it's amended in a way that excludes other religions, it's invalid by the US Constitution.

So, this has been in the works for a while, arguably most of last year. I intend to transfer my personal ownership of the Mastodon trademarks and assets, incl. copyright over my code, to the Mastodon non-profit, and transition to a different role at the organization.

As much as I like Bluesky, I was hoping Mastodon would get more traction in the great X-odus. But its detractors are unfortunately correct that there's a bit of a learning curve over there.

Lol, this is wild, I would never have guessed this was Village People. Josh and Chuck did mention the new wave period, but I don't think they really dug into that.

Yep, that all sounds familiar. They don't go super in depth on most topics on that show, but it's generally a good surface-level.
