Oh my goodness Light No Fire looks so good. I really hope they’ve learned the right lessons from No Man’s Sky, because that trailer looked like everything I want from a game.

Okay, that’s a fair point. They left too many blanks for the reader to fill in, and some will assume the problem is more widespread than it is.
When I put my Social Scientist hat on, I don’t think the methodology was totally unreasonable or obviously malicious, so X would have to strengthen their claims to convince me to wait for court. But you’re right, MM should have done better.
I agree with your point in general, but I have a hard time applying it here. Unless the lawsuit alleges that MM hacked into Twitter or doctored the screenshots, then the core claim of the MM report “Twitter served ad Y next to post Z” is not under dispute. If the claim is that refreshing a page is malicious, then I don’t think we need to wait to call the lawsuit malicious.
This was what sold me on standing desks too! Taking a dance break halfway through writing a Very Professional Email almost makes it pleasant.
This is a beautiful blog post and I recommend reading it. I never used Omegle, but I now understand what we’ve lost.
I think this may be different than the Jeopardy situation. I know there’s a general sentiment that Burton was the best option - and I felt the same way at the start of the process - but I’ve read a lot of behind-the-scenes accounts that suggest Burton simply wasn’t good at the job. They had to spend hours refilming segments in ways that weren’t necessary for other hosts, and the finished product wasn’t as good as most of us were imagining.
Obviously the Mike Richards situation was ridiculous, and maybe there was sabotage we don’t know about. My own sense is that the hive mind was wrong about Burton for that specific role - and that’s not a knock on Burton! - and things concluded well for everyone.
PineTime checks these boxes for under $30. The caveat being that it’s an open source project without fancy features. Also, the heart rate monitor doesn’t work well on my skin, but it works for some people.
I love my PineTime, but I stopped using it because I wanted sleep tracking.
I’ve listened to half of the first episode and can report that it is healing the late-night sized hole in my soul.
The concept of pornographic memory is hilarious without bounds. Like, you experience moments normally, but the second you try to recall them everything is sexy and two-dimensional.
You go for an appointment and are upset that everyone isn’t naked like you remember from last time.
You try to remember the steps for baking bread, and you can’t figure out how you ever managed to do it without getting flour EVERYWHERE.
You’re constantly perplexed by movie age ratings. Kids are allowed to see THAT?!
I’m able to have 8ish exchanges before it asks me to pay. And using private browsing I can return as many times as I like. Though sometimes it wants money right away, so I leave and come back.
Mine wouldn’t let me act unreasonably :(
I believe Misskey/Calckey are meant to be exactly this, but I haven’t tried them yet.
Amazing! I can’t wait to read about how they solved this. The devs were coming up with some very creative solutions the last I looked.
Great work to all the contributors!

Totally. I was just thinking about how my very specific life circumstances mean that I’m otherwise distracted and handling it pretty well. But if I were in a rough patch right now this situation would be really, really, really hard. I hope the people in that situation are okay and finding new refuge in places like this ❤
At the end of 2022, it had just under 1.8 million subscribers, according to the authoritative Alliance for Audited Media.
I guess I don’t have context, but that doesn’t sound like a failing, unprofitable magazine in 2022?
I believe the reason that Rush publicised was that his vision wasn’t 20/20, but I suspect your point would have disqualified him later in the process anyway.
Whistleblower asked for non destructive examination of the material to understand its flaw structure
Do you know what would have been involved here? Some kind of imaging, I assume?
Thanks for the write up!
I actually didn’t get that sense this time. Certainly the trailer left a lot to the imagination, and that’s letting me imagine impossible features that weren’t shown. But I thought Murray was very tame in his explanation. He didn’t really promise anything beyond a giant procedural world with multiplayer, and we know they can deliver on that. Everything else might suck. I get why people are skeptical about this, but I’m feeling confident that the final product will match what was shown here.
