Sincere thanks for reminding me of my Wired subscription. I’d been needing to cancel that.

Right. If I needed a shitty AI generated article I could get that any time from ChatGPT.

The hyperscalers definitely vote with their wallets.

The statement from CCC doesn’t mention him having a kid. Pretty sure he did not have one.

Welcome to Houston, TX, a monument to urban sprawl.

This is not legal advice, but if you get fired and then break into the office later, the police won’t care that you used your spare key.

Seems someone took it a step further and changed the locks too.

Anyone who remembers how Ruby Together was managed knows who is worse.

Legal recourse is an interesting omission from their update, especially considering this was surely approved by their attorney(s).

You can turn on video in assistive access, but it’s off by default.

Forgot about that, yes!

Texas also has a grocery store chain that is particularly well-prepared for disasters.

Yup, sometimes people joke that H-E-B is the 4th branch of the Texas government given how much they do during disasters. When food was going to go bad and payment terminals were having issues during the big 2021 winter power outage, pictures of them just giving out cartfuls of groceries were circulating on social media.

The Fat Electrician did a great video on them on his second channel

Fantastic. Good on HEB.

The mainstream media reported on Iryna’s murder as soon as there was video, but it has been a constant subject of reporting in Charlotte since it happened with immediate political ramifications.

I don’t read Twitter, but I do read my local news. I’m not quite sure that anyone is better off now that her murder is being nationally reported, to be honest.

It took CNN three days after the video was already circulating and getting huge traction; before they reported on it themselves.

four days for NYT.

This is after the video had already been circulating for days and received a lot of attention, the killing happened on August 22nd and the video has been going around since the 5th of september: https://www.mediaite.com/media/conservatives-call-out-media-...

These same outlets reported on George Floyds death effectively immediately.

Mark Duggan was shot in London and the US MSM picked it up faster.

Not aware of anything regarding local news, but when one killing reaches international news and the other has to be already organically international news via social media before reporting happens: people start to make presumptions.
