Research finds that by the late 21st century, most of Africa will no longer experience occasional heatwaves but will instead endure extreme heat for most of the year. This will not be just a slight warming

And this is why you don't let billionaires - or any company - own platforms.

YouTube just terminated PlainSite's YouTube channel, which posted certain Epstein Files video directly as provided by the government, because doing so purportedly violated YouTube's "spam, deceptive practices and scams" policy.  For real. Providing the Epstein Files is a "scam" according to Google.

@alienghic @bri7 LFP batteries are quite safe. As in, you can throw them into a fire and they still won't explode, or you can take a pick-axe to them and they won't catch fire. They also last 3-4 times as long.

@Edwin085 A gen z would figure this out in an instant, you just press one of the buttons on the opposite side where the Yes label is missing due to an AI glitch.

@256 Certainly one of the best 4 player PC games of the time

@foone Easy. You get to watch TV when she's finished.

Me too! Hoping to make it out there again some time.

I wish I wasn't too dumb to learn how to use vim properly.

@ComPod @bagder Ah those could be useful for people with rage anxiety

@bugaevc For one, there's been a major shift in priority. 40 years ago the focus was on usability and getting more computer users on board. Now the priority is to make you click on ads.

@bagder Beware of rage limiters, they appear to work well on initial outset, but results in rage build-up, which always ends in tears.

@revk They set it up so well for a reboot, and it's a show that deserves one!

What happened to Renee Nicole Good is not an anomaly or a rare phenomenon.

The only unusual factor is that she was white.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot & killed by ICE on New Year’s Eve.

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. She survived but has a hole in her arm forever.

Silverio Villegas González was shot dead in Franklin Park Illinois when he panicked and tried to run.

Then there’s the more than 30 people who’ve died in the camps.

No accountability. No punishment.

Keep speaking out. Let’s make sure this officer is held responsible.

@gamingonlinux I tried the beta. I think they made the right choice to delay it.

Working on partitioning tools on my main desktop. What could possibly go wrong?

How can it be 2026 and there's *still* no Signal client in Debian. (BTW Happy new year!)

Lmao. This is funny.

A screenshot of a social media thread from Threaeds where user adambarta asks, "Why is Wikipedia still a thing? Doesn’t ChatGPT just render it completely irrelevant?" Below it, user bridget.clinch replies to that user, "You're the people in the floaty chairs at the start of Wall E."

It's a good day to have air conditioning that runs from solar power!

I just created a new account on a website. I don't know how long it's been since I last did this, but it feels like years.
