it's amazing that he's never going to be able to reconcile his desire for twitter to be a valuable venture with his other desire of being epic and the center of attention on the internet at all times. the latter point directly leading him to buy the thing at an absurd price.

 

[Topher]

arguably the biggest lesson of twitter is to never be the main character that is getting roasted that day. musk spent 44B to be that guy. absolutely insane decision that is grounds for dismissal from his other companies.

Yes, It’s Time to Ditch LastPass

The password manager’s most recent data breach is so concerning, users need to take immediate steps to protect themselves.

I love spending my weekend switching Password Manager providers and then changing over 200+ credentials by hand because this company literally couldn’t protect the one thing they were supposed to at all cost. Fuck these guys so hard

Hey, good news, though. In maybe six or eight years, you'll probably get a sweet class-action settlement check in the mail.
Coincidentally, I just received my Equifax settlement today. $8.73, baby!!

Any objections?

Actually went to a Florida Panthers game a couple of weeks ago and learned apparently Peterson is popular enough to hold an event in that same arena. Actually kinda made me sick.

 

[torontoduke]

He's such a huckster.

The reason he was 'persecuted' at UofT was because he was routinely an asshole to other colleagues and accordingly earned a lengthy sheet of HR violations. From the start, his claims of being muzzled were absolute bullshit.

Just a fucking whiner making $ from outrage culture.

This is fun to play with, wish it was around back in the Scout TDD days: https://politepost.net/

I mean, the article that I read, said it is spinning slower and that this is something that happens every 70 years. Granted, I am only reading the headline of this article.

 

[aiw]

I read the article and I guess it says the same thing.

Also, I watched a movie about this in the early 2000s

 

[DrKlahn]

Yeah what a boring actual article given the headline.

I listened to these at a listening station the other day and was blown away by how good they are. The noise-canceling is like being in a sensory deprivation tank. The actual sound quality of the music is phenomenal. Tons of bass without sacrificing mids and highs.

Just posting for anyone looking for wireless headphones who is also a big enough audio snob to spend $300.

Since it won't let me post Amazon links, here's the pair I'm talking about.

 

[rome8180]

I got one of these to use in my car in lieu of a proper stereo system. I'm really impressed with it. It's built like a tank and sounds surprisingly good for $150 Bluetooth speaker.

I may buy another so I can link them to use as a stereo pair at home.
