  • Roses are red, violets are blue, everyone is using IPv6, why aren't you?

  • Imho

    Ipv4 and peak oil are similar.

    We're constantly running out; but every fes years, we figure out a new way to extract more oil/make do with the addresses we currently have.

    Someone sells of their underused block, or more people move to the services with excess IP addresses if they need one.

  • Third person infected in U.S. bird flu outbreak — but with a new symptom

    Jump

  • I wanted to leave snarky comments about the only news worthy symptom would be the ability to pass it on to other humans.

    I stand corrected.

  • Whatever is more useful goes first.

    For example, if this we're a list of UI text strings, finding all of the dialogue options together might be useful.

    If, instead, this is a series of variables already around one dialogue, then finding the open or close bits together would be useful.

  • Cloudflare took down our website after trying to force us to pay $120000 within 24h

  • I think it's far more likely there's some sales goal and or performance indicator at play here.

  • I'm really hoping for thermite. A lot of thermite.

  • Second US dairy worker infected with bird flu confirmed in Michigan

    Jump

  • The CDC told reporters on a call that it has not seen evidence of human to human transmission of bird flu and that it has tested close to 40 people since March, including the Michigan worker.

    If, and only if, we see human to human transmission, then we sorry. Not before.

  • Why does the aurora borealis appear to be white in the sky but in pictures it has nice coloration?

    Jump

  • It depends on how bright it is where you are.

    When it's very very dim your color sensing part of your eyes, which are less sensitive to light, don't work. Only the black and white parts of your vision work.

    Kind of.

  • The Verge shows how Google search is useless

    Jump

  • Honestly, I think almost everything else is worse than Google.

    I set my default to duck duck go, and it's getting better, but I still fall back on google with some regularity

  • Updating California’s grid for EVs may cost up to $20 billion

    Jump

  • It's just that in America they realized if they complain enough, they get to rub they're hands gleefully at the thought of all that electricity they're going to sell, AND all the public money they're going to get to upgrade the grid!

  • Assumedly, to deal with a race condition.

  • What is something that is completely legal that should be illegal?

    Jump

  • As a general rule, the amount of exploitation and fraud it takes to "become" a billionaire should probably be illegal.

    Lying about what you do with peoples data and who you share it with.

    Sentencing and punishment are affected by "caste"

  • Prepare for Putin pivot to invade us, say Baltic states

    Jump

  • It muddies the water around, supporting the various states, and the public image of that.

    The same thing for the Palestine genocide ongoing now, the US has a second war to supply.

  • Twelve years after the death of Steve Jobs, the cracks are starting to appear at Apple

    Jump

  • An ipod with a much larger screen (320×240 vs 480x320), a camera, and could take phone calls, browse the internet, and do email.

    Jump

  • Oh, he was an absolute asshole. Seems I deleted that sentence. RIP me.

    "I have enabled and ushered in a new age of knowledge access like no other, here's a cool way to eat that goes against all reasonable nutritionists' advice. Sounds good to me!" - Really seems like a fitting way to kick off this century IMO.

  • Twelve years after the death of Steve Jobs, the cracks are starting to appear at Apple

    Jump

  • I think people love to hate Steve. The one thing people love more than a great figurehead, is hating one. I think that Steve had a great internal model of how to combine form/function.

    iPhone wasn't the first smartphone, but it may as well have been. It brought the smartphone to the mass market.

    Part of it was a great advertising campaign, which unlike the smartphones at the time, pitched it as a luxury good as opposed to an executive enterprise one. You owned a blackberry to answer emails wherever and whenever you were, you owned an iphone so you can check Google Maps. A large part of it was redefining both the form factor, and use case of a smartphone.

  • The U.S. economy is booming. So why are tech companies laying off workers?

    Jump

  • Congratulations on being old e ough to buy property when it was cheap.

    For the rest of us, we all adapted to the low interest post-08 world. Now, we need to adapt to the higher interest post-21 world.

  • You need more upvotes.

    High interest rates are here, and it's likely to be some time before we get back down to the 1% interest rates we saw during covid (or even before).

    Companies are shifting either to real or imagined pressures of the stick market. And those pressures are less about chasing unlimited growth and want to see some return.

    Ergo. Layoffs. Meta producing dividends.

    If interest rates stay high, I'd expect to see large megacorps shift more and more to profitability over growth.

  • so, we've moved from "ots not real" through past "maybe its real, but its not.human caused" all the way to "its real and we can't do anything about it"/"its too late to do anything about ot"
