They’re a south-pointing compass (if they assert something, you know it’s wrong)

I haven’t been to a zoo with gorillas since childhood. Are these really the current accepted practice near gorilla enclosures?

The two recent “security concerns” affecting Signal were an iOS bug allowing deleted notifications to be retrieved by someone with physical access to the device (which affected any sensitive information displayed in notifications, and could be mitigated by having Signal not display senders or message content) and a social-engineering issue which allowed scammers to trick users into handing over access to their accounts. Would Wire have been immune to either of these, is there another more serious exploit that the BND are aware of but have not revealed, or is this advice mistaken?

Anecdotally, a significant number of policemen’s wives were the targets of stalking by their soon-to-be husbands. You hear about cops noticing a young woman, calling up her details, getting her existing boyfriend out of the picture, intimidating away other rivals and then pursuing her until they’ve worn her down into submission.

“I was just helping him pray the gay away!”

“bringing you the hottest hits from the 80s, 90s and beyond…”

Eat shit, Nintendo

Don’t think Australia has announced its new spiders for this year yet

It’s tempting to wish that the Iranians succeeded in assassinating him, though we know that if they did, he’d be instantly beatified into a global centrist Charlie Kirk: a statesman of peace and liberalism ruthlessly murdered by evil terrorist fanatics. There’d be statues of him alongside Mandela and Gandhi, Berlin would rename one of its central squares to Netanjahuplatz, and the next year’s Oscars would be swept by the biopic Bibi. The gaslighting would be incessant.

Apparently they were popular in the Middle Ages

Maybe the push to remove dependencies on US vendors will save it. Cisco might not be interested in implementing it, but with them and Chinese companies out of the picture, some European competitors that are a few orders of magnitude smaller might be, which may be enough to bootstrap it to where larger vendors take notice.

Slightly disappointing none of them has feet instead of hands or some similar artefact.

Vibe coding, the crystal meth of software

Indeed, it is said that John Mastodon himself is German

the meme of the goose chasing the boy. Caption: “freedom to say what, motherfucker?”

The difference been erotic and kinky is that kinky is using the whole chicken

OK, by now we get that you’re rampantly horny, but besides that, what’s your damage? Just the standard ADHD/autism, or borderline/dissociative or something extra spicy?
