  • Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan

    Jump

  • This was more like leaving all your valuables in a cardboard box on your front lawn. Anyone can just take it, if they care to look inside the complete unsecured box.

    Someone just drove up and tossed the box in their truck. No lock involved.

  • Woman attacked driver that hit, killed chicken that was crossing the road, per police

  • That's a second degree SEO leak.

  • Interesting that the dagger shares it origin with the division symbol (÷).

  • Recycling paper (or not recycling) is far better than plastic is every respect. It's not so much futility in this case so much as inefficiency.

    Paper also is rarely, if ever, fully recycled, usually being downcycled into rougher and rougher materials like cardboard and egg cartons. No matter how well it gets recycled, it's not going to displace primary production.

    If you want to talk about futility here, the problem is way bigger than recycling. It's consumerism, unrestrained capitalism, and ROI of power now vs power later. No amount of recycling of any quality will fix the world alonge but it is one step of many.

  • The manufacture of straws on that scale can't be simple to ramp up though. Maybe they just speculated correctly on paper utensil production capacity?

    Either way, there are opportunities for fast large scale change out there.

  • Paper can be composted or burnt, and will decompose relatively quickly if dumped. I can't see any post-use situation where paper is anywhere nearly as bad as plastic.

  • It was a surprisingly fast change, to the extent that I wonder if they weren't planning something along those lines as an industry wide PR stunt or lobbied industry takeover already. Or maybe paper straw machines are just really easy to setup.

    It does show that widespread lasting change is possible. Even if it's just a single step, we won't get anywhere if we stop taking them.

  • Let's get Physical

    Jump

  • Some kind of drama, probably of the affair kind, but who knows? Maybe it was just a great reaction to a jump scare out of a loving couple. Maybe it was people at a zoo getting manured by a rhino.

    These two stills are the only context I have. I've seen them twice in the same day, so it's probably topical, but it could be from the 90s and made relevant by a certain list or something.

    My first thought was certain politicians getting freaky in a puplic theatre on security cams though, so not too far off.

  • MAGA Barbecue With A Side Of Hypocrisy

    Jump

  • The topic is sharing culture, where lots of very patriotic US things have their origins in other cultures. How so much of the US identity is a mish mash of other cultures. The US is even known as a cultural melting pot!

    The hypocrisy is being ok with other cultures if you're familiar with them, but hating 'new' culture. The comic is criticizing xenophobia by pointing out the (somewhat) xenophilic history of US culture.

  • I couldn't figure out that it was a kisscam at all. I was thinking a photo booth or theatre.

  • When we're stereotyping massive swaths of the population with crying meme faces, I think IQ is more than enough to get the idea across.

  • Ostrożnie kolego... Ten obcokrajowiec chce twoje ciasteczko!

    Jump

  • The fact that One Trillion is as easy to say as One Million is a travesty. It's great for coming to terms with astronomic scales, but it really hampers the average person in understanding just how much wealth a single plane of people hold.

    This is my favorite attempt to show just how much wealth they're actually talking about. It's a bit biased towards phones, and it dates itself a bit, but it certainly makes an impression.

  • The Oligarch Messiah

    Jump

  • Also from Yeshua we get Josh. And Christ is a title meaning Christened or Anointed (often with oil). Thus Oily Josh, my favorite light-hearted nickname for that brown guy.

  • Tux-Based Game Studio

    Jump

  • That's a pretty good beginner project. More characters, more stages, and more gimmiks leaves plenty of room grow, but still something to be proud of early.

  • Does this mean 6.5 KDE Plasma will support pip any window?

    Jump

  • Plasma lets you pin any window to be always on top (short of fullscreen apps), and you can set up rules to automatically set that behavior for any pip window.

  • Finally a solution to the Königsberg Bridge problem.

  • The original idea was taking a walk before a meal, so maybe if you were a really fast walker...

  • I wouldn't say a normal CPU is inefficient at graphics or cryptography, rather that a specialized GPU is particularly efficient at those tasks.

    We only consider a CPU slow at these tasks because of how much faster a GPU is with them, but we never see how much worse a GPU is at general conputation tasks, because of how stupendously bad it is.

    As soon as operations need to share info, the GPU speed advantage is gone. Branching paths bog a GPU down with redundant execution. Latency is quite poor too. And exceptions & interrupts are basically impossible at the system level. Trying to run normal programs on the GPU would be a disaster.

  • And adding more fuel to a fire make it burn hotter and faster. Largers stars die faster, so more fuel will reduce the lifespan.
