  • Star Trek Gave Us a Utopian Vision of an Egalitarian, Postcapitalist Future

    Jump

  • A welcome dream of the future

    I hope we can someday get there

    But damn do we have a lot of work to do

  • What it was like checking Facebook after my relatives found out I was queer [Meme]

  • What a newsroom police raid teaches us about encrypting our devices

    Jump

  • And don't forget to use encrypted messenging apps like Signal.

    And do your research into which apps, programs, etc have the best encryption.

  • Two brands suspend advertising on X after their ads appeared next to pro-Nazi content

    Jump

  • Yep it's the association for sure

    But also a factor (for those that know) is that companies will pay for their ads to run to specific demographics of people based on the data that a advertising platform (Twitter, YouTube, Tinder, Facebook, etc) has gathered to determine specific things about you as a person.

    It's the whole concept behind targeted ads. You pay for eyes that will see it and are more likely to purchase your products due to that demographic data. Or at the very least, view your website for traffic that can be used to harvest more data about you so that it can be sold to other companies.

    International chess federation FIDE: a trans woman "has no right to participate in official FIDE events for women"

    Jump

  • Of course they are, the pieces are super manly in the men's games. Made of concrete for extra ruggedness and painted manly colors, nothing bright or cheerful as far as the eye could see. And the chairs they sit in are also super manly no comfort at all. All played on a manly tactical chessboard. /S

    Seriously though this whole decision just screams "cruelty is the point" and no concept of equality.

  • how's your week going, Beehaw

    Jump

  • Damn good this week

    I'm currently on vacation for the week and turns out basically this whole week is supposed to be over 100F

    I work in a hot warehouse going into truck trailers all day that are baking on the sun so I'm digging it

  • "Wind and solar power pollute the Earth and make life miserable:" DeSantis's Florida Approves Climate-Denial Videos in Schools

    Jump

  • As someone who grew up in rural Washington on the threshold of populated Washington, yeah shit gets pretty fucked really quick in those rural areas.

    It was a really religious area as well so that really didn't help. The local religious people have a strong belief in having as many children as possible as soon as possible. The running non-joke (because it's common) about it is the first kid to turn 16 drives the 3rd van.

  • What’s going on with the reports of a room-temperature superconductor?

    Jump

  • Personally I think it's more related to the current recent climate stuff and the failure of the G20 summit to come to an agreement on the climate crisis.

    Edit: I accidentally a word

  • Credit hurdles for transgender and nonbinary people could be cleared under proposed bill

    Jump

  • I had no idea that this was a hurdle that they'd have to jump over

    It seems stupid to me that this wasn't the case already

    This really needs to pass

  • Polling shows that knowing a trans person decreases transphobia

    Jump

  • If I did a push up every time I thought about how I should be working out I'd be ripped.

    I should really work out.

  • Vaush talking to The Vanguard guys

    Jump

  • I'll have to check the stream out later but thank you for the heads-up

    Vaush is pretty based even though he can come off pretty rough

  • Who else foresees environmental problems with this later down the line?

    Jump

  • It would take quite a bit of energy to effect things on a global scale but it could cause some issues at a very local level.

  • PSA: Pictures are back!

    Jump

  • Wait really?

    Damn that really sucks

  • Would you buy a new battery for a very old laptop?

    Jump

  • Depending on price I might go for it

    I did spend like $40 on a battery for a 10 year old laptop a few years ago so that I could keep using it for troubleshooting a remote network I setup up awhile ago because it's cheaper than a new laptop.

    Personally I'd see if you can find a new compatible battery not necessarily an OEM battery though as being new it's probably going to last awhile.

  • ‘Miracle material’ Perovskite solar panels to finally enter production, 50% cheaper to produce

  • I'm curious about their efficiency drop off if that's what happens after 25 days.

    Be you

  • It’s like this, sometimes

    Jump

  • For me it's usually during the winter time that it kicks in. I don't pick up on it for a few days but making sure that I get outside can usually stave it off for awhile until I have to bust out my bright AF lamp for my morning coffee.

    That shits so bright it hurts

    But hey, at least it keeps the darkness at bay.

    Getting like 5k+ steps of engaged walking per day helps me a lot
