Haha, yes it is an unfortunately acronym their name makes.

This is insanely priced, particularly when you see that it literally loses on everything but battery life compared to the original iPod 5gb, let alone the Classic.

Last time I tried to use Blue Sky it was so incredibly broken. And that was like November 23? I assume at the time that Twitter was exploding with people jumping for life rafts it was even less feature complete. They probably would have just doomed themselves via word of mouth if hordes of people had come straight from Twitter to BS. At least this way they are managing expectations a little bit.

OTOH, having said that, I don't understand why anyone would ever get onto a new commercial social media platform again now the Fediverse exists. Kick in a couple bucks a month to your server admins and the dev team and know that at least you're not the product and not just building up something that is on the road to yet another enshitification.

I mean I think the fact the “red wave” fizzled completely at midterms is an indication that women are voting more liberal and in greater numbers? Nothing politicizes like an entire gender being told their rights are being removed because “think of the children”.

I rolled the sh!t out of mine a few months back (loud popping noise when I went over the front of the foot around onto the side missing a stair) and spent a day limping around but it was pretty good after 24 hours. Still had to take it easy for a couple weeks though. But OTOH I can stand in the sides of my ankles normally so I’m flexible enough this is the first instance of damage ever because the angle was so extreme…

I agree RICE is the way and stay off it if it hurts.

TSLA is so wildly overvalued that it had room for huge swings though. I am curious if they will come back from it again now that Elon has shown himself to be an over privileged idiot rather than the wunderkind that everyone previously thought he was. People no longer respond nearly as well to his "it's coming" promises. Plus the fact they had to downgrade their battery ranges after gaslighting their own customers, Consumer Reports has shown them to be pretty unreliable, etc all have to be piling up against them.

Article talks about how Chrome will be happening almost immediately and I'm like… why? Why would you switch to Chrome when you know it's going to reduce your ability to keep things private. Firefox will be a different story hopefully, but even then it will be interesting to see if it can pass the fingerprint test finally on an iPhone. (Currently nothing can.)

This is the fun of close-door testimony... we don't have Fauci's actual testimony, just some guy playing Faux News telephone about it and trying to pump more energy into the "why were we ever worried about COVID?" side.

I'm pretty much against it because I feel like it's an opportunity to have to explain which BSG is actually the good one of them all to everyone you ever talk to about it. (Also, way way too soon for another reboot!)

Doesn't contain The Arrival either. Or Moon, or Alien or Twelve Monkeys… Basically there are a lot of more deserving candidates then Gravity, Ad Astra and Sunshine.

Gravity is not bad IMHO, but it lost its hard sci fi cred ::: spoiler with the Sixth Sense shenanigans ::: .

Doesn’t contain Moon, 12 Monkeys, The Arrival, Alien, District 9… there are quite a few movies I would out ahead of Ad Astra and Sunshine at the very least. And possibly Gravity and Solaris too. Also, listing 2001 in 15th place???
