Looks like #who have been called out by the #fda as potentially talking shit about #aspartame https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/14/fda-says.. In all honesty, the risk of #diabetes or #heartdisease is probably more likely to kill the average #american even if #apartame does cause #cancer .
An out of the blue #blog from #drewdevault https://drewdevault.com/2023/06/29/Burno.. I cannot speak to what he has gone through. But. You can't tell people to be be #critical of *very* serious claims made. You cannot tell people to not want a #codeofconduct for their own #project . You cannot tell people to believe in some #ideology because they #claim it harms them if you don't ( #lgbt ). There's very little #tolerance in his #viewpoint .
Seems insanely #expensive to run a #mastodon #server , being about $2000 per month for 34k users: https://cheapskatesguide.org/articles/ma.. More needs to be done to make #social #media weigh less in internet traffic.
Pretty cool new #arduino #uno with an #espressif #esp 32 chip for #wifi and #usb https://store.arduino.cc/products/uno-r4.. Basically everything has been increased, this is quite #powerful !
Really great point about how crap #modern #os #platforms have become: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=364.. #gui #applications used to run in milliseconds, now we wait for several seconds, despite #computation being orders of magnitude greater.
#craigmurray has a great point about this apparent #ploy by #putin to create #confusion with #wagner #attacking #moscow https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/.. I fully believe that #putin almost just lost control of #russia and his #reputation has just been massively damaged. #ukraine should have #capitalised on this and made hundreds of miles of #progress , but they dropped the ball.
This genuinely annoys the living hell out of me: https://www.reuters.com/legal/amazon-dup.. #amazon are being #sued *rightfully* by the #ftc for #darkpatterns in their #ui to rob their #customers of #millions . All other Coutnries including the #uk must do the same, it's insane. We all deserve better.
Interesting use of a #ramdisk to avoid #corruption in the case of a #powercut on a #linux #device https://euroquis.nl//freebsd/2023/05/30/.. Definitely worth thinking about!
Interesting, it seems as though #google 's #bard might be #trained on #gmail #email #data https://skiff.com/blog/was-bard-trained-.. The issue is that it might #leak #email #secrets .
#openjdk 's #java #jre is about to get a massive #speed #improvement with the use of #avx 512 #optimisations https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/1422.. #java is secretly still quite a cool little language!
Okay, a #beepberry is precisely what I'm looking for in a #linux #pda , but it is #soldout already: https://hackaday.com/2023/05/27/beepberr.. The #price is even perfect too. I've requested to be put on the #preorder https://beepberry.sqfmi.com/ Amazing little #device !
Just watching #thechinashow by #advpodcast , shocking as always: https://youtube.com/watch?v=TCC13EyR79c #chinese #scrap #ships have been #caught #robbing #wwii #battleship #graveyards https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article.. These are #protected #war #graveyards . This is really quite disgusting.
This is a great point by #youtube #channel #technologyconnections https://youtube.com/watch?v=U0YW7x9U5TQ #ev #brake #lights are completely wrong currently!
Super #weird #error in #debian just now, it completely #refused to #detect #usb #ports even after #resetting them in the #kernel #modules . For me, #linux has always had #issues with #usb compared to other #os '.
I know I #complain about this often, but #ubuntu becomes less and less #stable every time I use it. A #desktop not being #upgraded should just run indefinitely, yet the other day mine #crashed for no apparent reason. I doubt it is the #hardware because I see the same lack of #stability in other machines also running #ubuntu . #ubuntu is a blite on #linux .
It appears that #wework is on the way down, currently #trading at 50 #cents after once being worth $50 #billion #dollars https://www.businessinsider.com/wework-s.. It's probably one of the earlier #startups to #fail in the #startup #bubble . Watch this space more more #startups to #fail !
