No, they exploded, as the Welsh are wont to do.

They said it was an osprey, but let’s be honest, it was probably a bald eagle wearing a mask.

If there’s anything other than simply “very damaged personalities,”I think it’s probably a sense that as celebrities they need to freeze time or even turn it back to stay competitive in their field. When cosmetic procedures work, it’s because doctors communicate the limits of what can be achieved while passing for natural, the patient accepts that, and the work is done well. If any of those pillars breaks, it looks bad. If any of them breaks for a celebrity, it goes viral.

Maybe it tastes better than it looks. I certainly hope so.

Leslie Knope in shambles…

I kinda like this as a way to market based on the potential for affirmative defenses.

Why do you need to bother with making the flight?

LLMs shall prioritize historical accuracy, scientific inquiry, and objectivity, and shall acknowledge uncertainty where reliable information is incomplete or contradictory.

This may not go how they think it will. As an aside, for the moment at least, this is only for AI used/procured by the federal government.

Yup. While the bear with a tail is still kind of weird, Ursa major is one of the least weird constellations. “The Big Dipper” is an “asterism” according to the grad students at the planetarium I took my daughter to.

That was a vision Rey had of herself if she went to the Dark Side of the Force. It made for a cool moment… in the trailer.

Alternatively, they look healthy, so maybe it’s just British dental care not fixating on useless aesthetics? Did you ever consider that maybe they’re just Daisy Ridley‘s real teeth? Hmmmmm?

She just needed a massage!

IMHO no version of Tetris will ever top the OG green-n-gray Game Boy version, which was also over the top Russian kitschy. The music still loves rent free in my head, and the patterns in lieu of colors define the blocks for me.

Our orange turd does seem to get unsettled when people who behave like he does (or would like to) actually experience some repercussions. It’s probably the closest thing to empathy he’s capable of feeling.

The robot looks… determined.

My N810 was my single favorite piece of industrial design in a mobile device. Not perfect, and use cases moved on (to say nothing of the internals), but it was so unique and thoughtful and intricate without feeling overly fragile.

I preferred Mepis. 😊

Don’t you see, though? We’ve already got liberty and justice for all. The pledge says so!

Just like the DPRK is obviously democratic, a republic, and belongs to the people.

Great, but I don’t think that graph is showing any particular spike, just a nice and gentle upward trend in share. The article also overlooks that there is a certain element of Windows and MacOS computers being replaced by tablets and phones, while Linux is already an enthusiast choice on the desktop, meaning it will be insulated somewhat and gain market share through attrition.

On the plus side, Steam and Proton and maturing DEs/distros and enshittification of Windows certainly make Linux a much more viable “normie” option than it’s ever been. We’re a far cry from the CD-ROM of Red Hat that came with my “Intro to Linux” book in 1999 but couldn’t use my Winmodem or printer and really preferred to run XWindows in grayscale.

You’re right, though the melodrama and swashbuckling of Space Opera definitely lend themselves more towards the soft sci-fi/sci-fantasy end of the spectrum. Sort of, “if the characters and plots don’t need to bear much relation to the real world, why should the setting?”
