I was looking for a paper from fucking 2010 that was cited in a Wikipedia article and it was still behind a goddamn paywall.

Sci-Hub is the GOAT.

The original announcement is from 2020, but this article is from a few weeks ago and makes it sound like breaking news. Kinda disappointing.

I'd love to see the source on this. I didn't see anything from a quick search.

I feel like Fry didn't try hard enough. There definitely still were options, avenues to explore. By running away he just outed himself for how vanilla he is in bed.

There's actually a great XKCD "What If?" post that covers this: https://what-if.xkcd.com/140/

It was obviously designed to distract from any rumors of a Stargate program underneath NORAD in the Cheyenne Mountain complex.

Why wait for an app? Just start posting personals ads in the comments under memes you like.

Just listened to that one. Also great.

If anyone is a punk rock fan, Dropkick Murphys put out an album based on unused Woody Guthrie lyrics.

It's called This Machine Still Kills Fascists.

In the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam), having multiple faiths is explicitly forbidden in the Ten Commandments: https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_(King_James)/Exodus#20:1

2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

And you can see this play out historically: when Christians met peoples of other faiths, they didn't see it as an opportunity for learning and cultural exchange, they saw them as heathens that needed to be proselytized... or eradicated.

Conversely, I feel like Buddhists are the most likely to have other faiths, because Buddhism changed and adapted as it spread throughout Asia, and incorporated elements of the local religions.

My Windows 10 computer eerily waking itself from sleep got me in the habit of shutting it down completely every night. I'd be lying in bed, turn over and open my eyes, and see the light of the screen reflecting off the wall. It was like something out of a shitty horror movie about computers taking over the world.

To this fucking day, even in Windows 11, it takes "Update and Shut Down" as a mere fucking suggestion. About half the time, it'll restart after the update and just sit there chilling at the login screen. Not a single fuck given.

Linux is a breath of fresh air by comparison. Though, if you choose to run Arch you need to stay on top of updates or else a day will come where you won't be able to update because you're now too far behind. It can be fixed manually, but it's still annoying and a little scary if you're not familiar with it.

Fortunately, most of my family is so tech illiterate that even if a real video got out, I could just tell them it's a deepfake and they'd probably believe me.
