Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

At least Oz was an accomplished heart surgeon before he turned to grifting. This guy can't even claim that much.

I hope he dies alone and penniless.

The investor fact sheet sourced for that line is over a decade old.

I can't say for sure how things have changed since then that could cause bankruptcy though... maybe people are preferring more products labled "natural" and "organic"?

I favor Stop ICE which is a website, not an app. They specifically address why:

The Stop ICE Alerts Network is designed to work with technology already built into your smart phone, mobile device, tablet or computer.

Apps on your smartphone can be used by service providers and 3rd parties to access details related to your phone's activity across multiple datapoints. This can potentially open up unwanted vectors for user tracking compromising your privacy while also sharing that information without your knowledge.

It's why they're all obsessed about going to space.

Weird that they didn't even mention desktop Linux, which has grown ever so slightly as Windows and macOS have fallen.

Meanwhile, Microsoft is forcing their employees to use Copilot because I guess not enough of them already are, while users on Github are trying to figure out if they can block it. Microsoft is not trustworthy.

No good deed goes unpunished.

 

Cutting off Google's control of the world's most popular browser may be necessary.

 

Found a lost cat at the park this week. Hopefully I can find her owners soon. In the meantime, she has certainly made herself at home.

I suspect 1-2 years old but hard to say. Female. Unsure if spayed. No collar or chip. Very sweet and friendly. Planning to get her to the vet for a checkup ASAP. She's a bit skinny so was probably lost for a few days, and definitely has an appetite now.

I hope she wasn't dumped, because some people really don't like black cats, and also leaving cats in the wild is very bad for the environment.

PSA please chip your pets, even if they're indoor pets!

 

When I first learned about passkeys it sounded like nothing more than a vendor lock-in cash grab dressed up as security. This new spec might actually improve the situation and make them useable across more platforms and systems. Assuming Apple, Google, and Microsoft don't find a way to screw it up again.
