I also definitely don't think about how the guitar solo at the end of Mr. Brightside sounds pretty much exactly Ode to Joy.

Do you ever think about how Mr. Brightside by The Killers just reuses the exact same lyrics from the first verse all over again for the second verse? How they were just like, eh, screw it, writing's hard, just sing the same thing again?

Yeah me neither. That would be weird. Who would do that?

The food industry pays ‘influencer’ dietitians to shape your eating habits - The Washington Post

‘In all, at least 35 posts from a dozen health professionals were part of the coordinated campaign by American Beverage. The trade group paid an undisclosed amount to 10 registered dietitians, as well as a physician and a fitness influencer, to use their social media accounts to help blunt the WHO’s claims that aspartame, a mainstay of Diet Coke and other sodas, is ineffective for weight loss and “possibly carcinogenic.”’

I created a game where you are a computer's operating system and you have to manage processes, memory and I/O events. The goal is to survive as long as possible without the user rebooting you because your processes are idling for too long. Probably the nerdiest thing I've ever done!

The 870 km Rail Baltica project, which is due for completion in 2030, will connect the capitals of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia with Warsaw and the rest of Europe, allowing trains to run uninterrupted.

However, the project is symbolic as well as physical.

For the EU, it’s a statement about the Baltic states’ return to Europe and their decoupling from their Soviet past.

New Report: One-Third of States Have an Election Denier Overseeing Elections

Everyone keeps asking “why is #Alabama being so defiant - even of the #SCOTUS order?”

Now we get a possible answer. And it’s a doozy.

If this is true, it would mean that the SCOTUS is compromised & that the project to overturn civil rights laws is being undertaken deliberately and cynically by multiple associated players & cover groups across the legal system https://www.alreporter.com/2023/09/16/dark-money-the-backstory-of-alabamas-redistricting-defiance/

There is literally one (1) example of any company taking an Embrace, Extend, Extinguish strategy (Microsoft, with the Web, in the late 90s). They went through years of antitrust lawsuits for it.

There are zero (0) examples of it ever working. No, not RSS; no, not XMPP.

There are literally millions of examples of companies, individuals, governments and non-profits adopting open standards and making the network, and their services, better.

More ActivityPub makes a better Internet for everyone.
