You are right, I'll just eat a 65 inch TV and live in the box.

Ground News provides aggregated sources with factuality scores, although the scores are subscriber-only. I've been thinking about subscribing.

Here's their page for this story: https://ground.news/article/google-knocks-down-250-thousand-...

It also links to related coverage, such as the project being cancelled in response to the outrage.

I have a similar setup and want to mention Moonfin as another excellent alternative Jellyfin client besides the one recommended here, Wholphin. I just tried several and Moonfin was the only one whose UI didn't feel needlessly clunky to me.

If you won't read TFA, source being the RedHat employee paid to triage Gnome vulnerability reports since 2020:

> Have you heard that most AI bug reports are “slop?” Not so in 2026. That was true for most of 2025, but the quality of AI-generated vulnerability reports has drastically improved. That is not to say that we no longer have problems with bad vulnerability reports, but in general, nowadays most of them are pretty good. (Daniel Stenberg reports the same pattern for curl.)

We're trying to talk about realistic options here.

Yes! That is what I came to say: it's interesting, but I can't contextualize the workflow he describes without knowing the the quantity of tokens involved and their retail cost.

You could even say we are like a glass carpet: the color may be attractive but the texture is terrible...

It's supposed to go up, huh? It's back where it started, so there's that...

Who are the hall of shame brokers?

Wait... Your second paragraph is jarringly different from the first. How do they relate?

That's a new one for the cyberpunk dystopia bingo card: poor people renting capacity in their brains to multinationals. Makes you stupider, and the DRM implants give you mood disorders, but have you seen how much apartments go for in 2036?!

> For the minority of customers who are flexible on dates/locations and willing to plan in advance - most airline/hotel programs have sweet spots at the more premium level.

What does this mean? I'm not clear what the sweet spot is - are you talking about buying points/miles/etc outright with cash rather than earning them as credit card rewards? Everything I've read is that these are almost always bad deals.

This is an interesting thought experiment, though I generally come to opposite conclusions. I personally think that hunting a wild animal situates the hunter in the broader context of the natural world, in which organisms live by their wits and try to outrun others doing the same.

Conversely, farmed animals owe their existence as you say to our cultivating them. But where you see a moral release in that connection, I see a corruption of life into industrial inputs. A hunted animal many times will catch scent or sound and take flight, winning their life for another day. Livestock can't change their destiny by wit or will. Their entire existence is within the technological apparatus of our species.

The corruption becomes evident in evolution cleaved from the organism's interest and placed in service of our appetites. In turkeys with breasts too large to be able to balance standing up, let alone walk. Such animals can only reproduce by artificial insemination and only eat when food is placed directly in front of them.

Power dynamics such as these tempt us to tell just-so stories about lives well lived. Can we say for them that their lives are preferable to not existing at all? We're surely not neutral.

Since we're riled up about the state of compulsory tipping, I'll throw in my bugbear: the calculated percentages are frequently based off the post-tax total! Tipping has historically been based on the pre-tax cost, but the rise of receipts and screens that do the math for you has smuggled the taxes into the tip umbrella. Infuriating.

But that's the trouble, Python has the slogan about only one way, but it's really not true in practice. Or maybe there's the one way that "should" be done, and then the half dozen other ways you'll encounter in the wild, as gp alluded.

Who scrapes the scrapemen?

This looks beautiful. While obviously a Mac keyboard, to what extent is it compatible with Linux?

Will there be documentation of its features beyond a standard Bluetooth HID, such that users could potentially develop software that utilizes the speaker and haptic feedback mechanisms?

Flat roofs are very cost effective due to simplicity of design and installation. They also provide usable area for HVAC, solar panels, and decks.

I think a major factor is memory bandwidth. Apple has raised it steadily for each M series generation, and that hasn't plateaued.

Nvidia leads in bandwidth and specialized architecture, but local inference takes off when it's usably fast at much lower cost and power consumption.

> Scott was the CEO of Docker, and led that through a really challenging time that began with Docker’s own enterprise-vs.-developer identity crisis and ended with them blowing the doors off the business.

Did Docker "blew the doors off the business"? Does he mean that in a Boeing sense?

That would be me.

Around 58% of American smartphone users are iPhone. It's a lot, but not enough to be universal. In my family there's 5 iPhone users and 4 Android users, amusingly similar to the national ratio.

Apple has famously made its strategy to use iMessage to enforce exclusivity. If you want to reach everyone, it's not iMessage. And Whatsapp in the US is worse, closer to 1/3.

> most of the world has solved it by making ambulance (EMS) funding similar to fire...

About 65% of the more than one million firefighters in the U.S. are volunteers, with nearly 19,000 fire departments being run completely by volunteers.

Did you use a Wyoming protocol wrapper to integrate with home assistant? Is it publicly available?

I agree with you about the effects of regulation and privatization. The installation challenges of dense urban environments are no joke either. But:

> Every home in america has electricity and plumbing even though those utilities have the same density problem.

Plumbing yes, but it might not leave the property. About 25% of US homes have septic systems, and some states are as high as 50%. For water, 15% of homes use private wells, which goes to 72% for rural households.

It's not everything, but density absolutely matters for rural households. The US is vast and contains many areas where you are your water and sewer company because there's no municipal option.

That said, your electricity example shows the way. That got to every home through massive public infrastructure projects. And internet could too, far easier than water or sewer.

Real nice IPO ya got there, it'd be a shame if anything happened to it...

In British slang, "nonce" is a highly offensive term for a sex offender, particularly one who has harmed children. It is considered derogatory and should be used with caution.

This site [1] appears to have a good overview.

There's several common beneficial nematode species, selection is based on factors such as their affinity for your intended pest, "cruising depth" in soil, and the current soil temperature.

I see several sources specifically recommending a mix of the Steinernema feltiae (Sf) and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Hb) beneficial nematode species for tick control applications. Live organisms are shipped with ice packs and typically must be kept refrigerated and applied within a 1 month window.

Application is typically performed with a garden hose and a mixing applicator attachment. Nematodes are sensitive to sunlight, application is typically best performed in the evening to allow them time get underground.

One US vendor in this space I'm familiar with (no affiliation) is Nature's Good Guys. Their product recommendations for tick control are here[2]; they offer applicators as well.
