  • LG TV's new software update installed MS Copilot, which cannot be deleted

  • You can sideload a modified version of YouTube that blocks ads and skips ads inside videos too (or intros, or interaction reminders, etc). You can use custom screensavers. You can remap buttons on the remote. You can install RetroArch. You can install Kodi.

    Basically you get a Homebrew Channel that supports downloading custom apps from any repo, and it bypasses the developer certificate so the apps just work forever, you don't have to keep resigning them.

  • I rooted my LG C1, enabled SSH, and permanently blocked updates over a year ago. I'm so happy with that decision.

  • Zebrafish are an extremely powerful model for drug development and toxicology.

    Sure. But there's also a reason we don't do in silico molecular dynamics, test toxicology on zebrafish, and boom done drug is on the market. Even extremely close organisms, with LCAs much earlier than the zebrafish, can have wildly different reactions to potential drugs and dietary elements.

    There are things you can feed a chimp but not a human.

  • Bonfire - Why Community Matters: Groups as the Next Step for the Fediverse

  • It was never popular outside Brazil and India, but Orkut, Google's first social network, was based around groups and it was fantastic. I miss their structure tremendously.

  • I usually hate those too...

    But they are not universally bad. OLED screens have almost instantaneous response times, which if paired with lateral movement and content shot at 24 FPS can become a stuttery mess instead of a smooth camera pan. In some movies, it's enough to give me a headache.

    In those scenarios, one of the interpolation settings available on my LG C1 instantly fixes the issue and does not add significant artifacts. The goal isn't simulating 120 FPS on a TV show, but working around content filmed at abysmally low FPS (which was relevant when film was expensive and we used blurry TVs, not good for 2025).

  • Here in Brazil people love their proverbs/popular sayings. An older person repeating a well rhymed proverb is more trust worthy than an expert scientist proclaiming a fact.

    There's one that always gave me the ick, and that I always loudly confront when repeated: "em briga de marido e mulher, ninguém mete a colher"

    Besides the childish rhyme, it translates to "in a fight (not necessarily physical) between a husband and his wife, nobody shall interfere" which is an infuriatingly bad thing to teach children or to keep repeating as a society. But of course conservatives love it, gives them more opportunities to hide their abuse.

  • I really want one. But I'm not buying any tech product until my existing one turns to dust and no amount of solder can put it back together. So maybe in five or six years?

  • 1- the end result looks like absolute dog water.

    2- creating CSAM images and videos is the entire reason these people are excited about AI, and why they keep making a big deal out of "uncensored" models.

  • Wow. Thank you for this post.

    I've been searching for "RuneScape, but offline" for years. I'm also a master's student living on a grant, I was fired from a tech company one week after putting my cat's newly discovered cancer treatment on my credit card, meaning, I have not a penny to spend on a game.

    I never heard of 2009scape and the Saradomin launcher. But thanks to your post, I just tried it and it runs perfectly. I can play it offline forever, without spending any money, and knowing I can backup my save.

    Thanks a lot. I have no idea how many people read posts in the Fediverse, but know yours judg brought me a lot of joy in a troubled time.
