I do wonder if that’s ever actually a legitimate concern for prison staffers, if they get an inmate that is exceptionally agile like this. Like, if a parkour champ gets locked up, do the guards take any additional precautions? Do they grease up all the walls and fences to make them extra hard to climb?

These, and other equally important questions, are what keep me up at night.

These days, it’s “mid”.

You can’t prove there isn’t!

“Oh yeah, are you sure about that? Then why does my AirTag say it’s already landed on Jupiter, hmm? I’d like to speak to your manager.”

Yep, mostly just used to help crowdsource weather reporting like this.

Though I have seen another interesting use-case for the barometer, which is for IP-rated (water-resistant) phones, you can use the barometer to check that your device still has a water-tight seal with an app that measures the pressure as you squeeze the sides of the phone together.

Probably move on to YouTube Shorts or Instagram reels.

Likely YouTube. While neither are great, between Google and Meta, Google’s got the better reputation. YouTube also has a larger audience, because it includes a ton of users who wouldn’t fall under traditional social media usage. Reels might be used as a periphery platform to drive more people to their main channel on YouTube.

Any TikTok creator who moves to Instagram full-time is either shooting themselves in the foot, or got a good contract from Meta.

I used to buy these little pocket-sized Sudoku books that I’d keep with me, usually play a puzzle or two while commuting to work or something.

I didn’t know watermelon could do this.

If done in a controlled environment, it’s apparently very tasty! I recently stumbled upon a tutorial somebody made recently about how to make watermelon jerky with a dehydrator. Apparently the flavor gets significantly sweeter. He was making it for hiking/survival purposes, so removing all the water weight lets you pack a lot of lightweight nutrients, too.

That’s really cool! I wonder if there’s a way to find the previous owners of the house, that’d make for a really fun story if you were able to track down the original owner somehow.

No wrongdoing was found!

On surface level, sure. But the consequences of this drama will be seen across the industry. Google and Amazon both appear to have worked to have kept this quiet, which raises a lot of important questions about how the business of video streaming will handle child safety.

Even though it may seem like drama, there’s an important story here, and it directly involves the futures of some key players in the tech sector so it’s relevant.

I’m 100% certain that if he actually didn’t know the kid’s age beforehand, that he would have said so in one of his responses. If the situation was anything other than what everybody is already suspecting, he would have put it out there instead of letting the internet speculate wildly. He wouldn’t just be sitting on that little nugget of information if it existed. He was too specific in his responses to have left that out unintentionally.

Yeah, and there’s a much different context. Those aren’t real children on the show. Those text threads are with adults on both ends. The entire interaction from start to finish is mitigated by professionals.

We’re talking about a situation involving a real child, not a sting operation where there isn’t an actual victim. There’s a real child whose identity would be put at risk of being exposed by releasing the logs.

This isn’t primetime TV drama. This is a real situation involving a real minor. You should take a step back from the screen for a minute if you’re struggling to see the difference.

The amount of people eager to see a sexting thread with a child is fucking absurd.

I was fully expecting this to be some blown-out-of-proportion nonsense, like a “Sign up” button next to a switch or slider in the settings menu for something that would pertain to Game Pass. Nope, it’s a full block of the window dedicated just to an ad, not pertinent to any surrounding settings. Hella egregious.

I missed an opportunity to nab a free ticket to a George Carlin show because I couldn’t get the day off work. That ended up being his last tour before he died.

I think most people these days don’t use browser bookmarks as a “check this out later” tool, and instead as more of a “I frequently need to access this page” function. For me, I only bookmark a page if it’s something I frequently access; things like my email, Lemmy, some work apps, etc. In my use-case, bookmarks are a more “permanent” installation to my browser.

Also, “read later” apps generally strip the web page formatting and advertisements, and usually have an offline function of some sort; both of which you typically can’t do with bookmarks. These are especially useful for those who like to read on their commute.

I was pressed for time when filing this year, so I didn’t want to experiment with the IRS’ new program and just went with FreeTaxUSA since I knew it would be fast and have my data from last year saved. For those who tried the new program this year, how was it?

I’m jealous! I’ve been wanting to see them live for years.

It holds up about as much as those “Not responsible for broken windshields” stickers on the back of dump trucks. Which is to say: not at all.
