Damn. I was just starting to rebuild my physical catalog so I could get away from streaming.

Somebody please double check the door bolts.

Hype machine announces new thing they can hype to make money, at least until the next thing

Some of them are also looking for money.

I like the cut of your jib.

Is this really the biggest problem in the US right now? Can the justice department maybe spend some time on gun violence, climate denial, misinformation, dark money in politics…. Like 1000 other things that are literally killing people before we worry about this? Or is this just because it’s an election year and they think it will be popular…

I deleted every comment and post I had made and then deleted my account when they locked out Apollo. But it sounds like I missed out on getting the secret email and making the investment of a lifetime! /s 

Can we just roll it all up in a big ball and shoot it into space on a rocket? That worked great in Futurama… 😉

I really hate how this goal keeps being stated. When did it become the unchallenged truth that everyone needs to buy an EV? The goal was supposed to be transportation without carbon emissions. That could be solved in so many ways, from maglev trains to wind-powered ships to pedal- or foot-powered commuting. It should be solved with smart infrastructure and transportation strategy, not just more consumption. 

There are even multiple ways to power a personal vehicle that don’t have carbon emissions, and some of the most interesting ones are still emerging - hydrogen, ammonia - yet we are forging ahead like battery electric vehicles are the silver bullet to all of our problems. We are not going to fix our world of reckless consumption with more consumption… but we are going to make the shareholders of a few automotive companies very rich. Was that our goal?

Let’s hope so!

This is exactly what it would be used for.

Especially in the least productive congress in US history, the odds of any actual vote are low.

Congress’ priorities are fucked.

When should we all expect to receive our check for the content we contributed to Stack Exchange? 

Great article. The most concerning is that Boeing has become yet another enshittified company, chasing profit too hard over all else, and they are going to kill people with their decisions.

“The fact that the mistake was made at all, however, suggests an organization that is decreasingly inclined, or able, to make the kinds of costly, counterintuitive, and difficult-to-justify choices on which it built its exemplary history of reliability. These choices always pertain to marginal, almost negligible, concerns — simply because reliability at high altitudes is all about the margins — so their consequences manifest slowly. But their effects are cumulative and inexorable. “

Reddit can die in a fire.

Time to put pressure on Apple and Google to encrypt these E2E.

HP can die in a fiery flameout.

Sometimes it feels like the EFF is the only one holding back the tide. Everyone should donate to EFF ❤️
