When I ran a research group, I'd tell my students that when you appear to have uncovered something anomalous, the first thing you say to yourself is "I fucked up". And the second thing you say is "I'm so stupid I can't even see where I fucked up".

No one is teaching Elon's script kiddies this.

Both Google and Apple claim that their mobile operating systems (iOS & Android) are the most secure, reliable, and privacy friendly. Who do you believe?

I recommend looking up your local repair café, just go along to see what's going on there. Take a broken thing if you like, or just yourself. Donate a few quid if you can or just be community. It's good
if
you can find the connection type (sata/m2 ect ) of your
internal storage
and
find a suitable replacement & swap disks
you can yeet the w11-disk in to the sun/lava ect
(or just put w11 disk in suitable caddy)
and just do fresh *nix install
on the new disk;)

We must invest 1 trillion dollars into yoga, immediately

Destroy acres of land for the sake of colossal yoga centers, demand that universities teach students yoga, ask politicians about their yoga policy
... the study is:
- some survey data
- conducted by economics profs (not: social scientists)
- does some batshit stats to reach any conclusion at all
- finds a tiny 0.4%-2.5% work time improvement!

... that's about as effective a productivity intervention as doing yoga once a week to sleep better

Yoga's not going away. We might as well teach everyone how to do yoga responsibly.

We are firmly anti torment nexus here at bsky, but we can also have a little torment nexus, as a treat.
We really are anti torment nexus. You can't get rid of all the torment but, you know, you gotta put in some hours to fight it

The language that allows them to do so has been buried in the small print for a long time. You're purchasing a license to use the software, but you're not purchasing the software itself.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

30+ years ago, my mind was blown when my computer science professor suggested that one day, applications on our computers would be updated by contacting a remote server.

I don’t think he ever imagined that companies would also disable applications we’ve already paid for and installed.
