  • Biden Justice Department slow-walked key decisions in Trump legal probes

    Jump

  • I started to think Garland was a deep mole for the far-right GOP years ago, his inaction was beyond incompetence, it's almost as if he WANTED to run the clock out for any meaningful prosecutions.

  • That Time Ken Thompson Wrote a Backdoor into the C Compiler

    Jump

  • allegedly. Bwahahaha. Can we ever know for sure?

  • DOdodo DODO DOdodo DODO Dodododo DODO DODOOOOO🎶🎵🎶

  • I used to see swarms of grasshoppers every summer as a kid (80s), now a single one is a rare sight.

  • Samsung Embeds Israeli Surveillance App on Phones Across MENA

    Jump

  • Rogers in Canada has pixels that allow unlocking the bootloader (just got a pixel 9, and once I have some time I'm going to try putting a custom build on it).

  • Republicans admitting release of Epstein Files inevitable by month's end

    Jump

  • I'd bet some or all of them have been outright destroyed by now, since there's no respect for procedures or the rule of law in any branch of the US govt any more and whomever has actual physical access is probably a stooge loyal to the regime by this point.

  • What's a personal weakness you possess that is entirely not relevant to your daily life?

    Jump

  • Wait until your bank website/app login requires a captcha with the magic eye thing! Bwahahaha.

  • Pete Hegseth Says the Renamed ‘Department of War’ Stands for ‘Peace’

  • Really, have these jokers read any books? Wow.

  • This is the technology worth trillions of dollars huh

    Jump

  • A wild 'D' suddenly appears! (that's about all I know about Pokemon...)

  • "AI" hallucinations are not a problem that can be fixed in LLMs. They are an inherent aspect of the process and an inevitable result of the fact that LLMs are mostly probabilistic engines, with no supervisory or introspective capability, which actual sentient beings possess and use to fact-check their output. So there. :p

  • Is there a music thing that handles single tracks

    Jump

  • Search for v2.79 (if memory serves) on oldversion.com for the last 'good' version of classic winamp, and the streamripper plugin is still floating around somewhere on the 'net....

  • Is there a music thing that handles single tracks

    Jump

  • An absolutely ancient tool I used to use was WinAmp (v2.x) with the Streamripper plugin. It would save out each song from a shoutcast or icecast station to a file with the artist/album/title/track like a champ. Maybe not quite what you want (won't do youtube) but there are a ton of great indie stations on the vorbis icecast network...

  • TIL Maru, the youtube cat, has gone to cat heaven.

    Jump

  • Is.. is vibe cat still with us?

  • Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users

    Jump

  • Perhaps someone could write an 'adb loopback' app -- get that into the official app store, and said app would then squirt other .apk files through adb on the phone to itself, thus sideloading it.

  • The future of Vim builds for Windows

    Jump

  • Couldn't they just use a Windows VM on Linux to run the build tests?

    Not that I care, the only vim I use occasionally is under MSYS64 (I think... maybe it's just plain vi).

  • Great idea! Float out some 'life rafts' for the critters to gather on first, then tow them to shore before sending the workers in.

  • Why don't they put sone long planks leading up and out of the bog for a day or so before the harvesters go in? Give the spiders a time window to migrate to the shore...

  • Related, but kale blooms look similar and I like the florets a lot in pasta (esp. mac & cheese).

  • YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround

    Jump

  • We already pay with all of the personal data they steal from us (adblocks or no), and all the lifetimes wasted watching ads for those who don't or can't block them (and the ad revenue paid to them by corps who buy those ads) so no, Google doesn't deserve our money for Premium.

    Same thing as when cable TV was new, they said paying for it was to require fewer ads... how long did that last?
