If the Institute for Scientific Information of Coffee says coffee is good for the brain, body, and soul (that last is my addition), it's got to be true.

News just in: company's new console will be more powerful. Truly incredible scenes.

I'm begging gaming sites to hire people that understand what they're talking about.

"Even more impressive, though, is that 12 GB of RAM for the Switch 2 would mean it's more powerful than the Xbox Series S, which would be significant."

RAM amount = power now apparently.

I hope a company just changes it up one day, the new device is just considerably slower
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

yeah they are obviously wrong. Everyone knows the hotter a console gets the better the performance.

UnitedHealth recently helped kill single-payer health care legislation in California.

Gov. Gavin Newsom backed off his previous support of the idea -- after he & Dems received huge money from UnitedHealth donors. buff.ly/3ZPLOPu



I appreciate that @eLife decision to provide a 'partial feed' of work judged "solid" in order to get indexed was made in consultation with the community, and it serves researchers' interests to have their papers indexed. But, it does feel like likely that many will perceive this as more like traditional pre-publication peer review rather than an experiment in post-publication peer review, which is a shame.

(Edited because I think my original formulation of this post was too negative.)

Major media outlets have alluded to Luigi Mangione’s manifesto, have it in their possession, and have selectively quoted from it, but refuse to publish it in full. No surprises there.

I doubt this will change anything in the short term. Nothing’s really gonna change until Congress grows a pair and passes universal healthcare.

But this incident illuminates something interesting. The American healthcare industry isn’t just hated by the left—it’s hated by most Americans! Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh learned this the hard way.

Alas, selling universal healthcare to the right is easier said than done. Right-wing politicians reflexively slap the “socialist” label on it to make it toxic. They’ll also not-so-subtly suggest that certain people don’t deserve it.

But we gotta find a way. I mean, think about it. When’s the last time an issue has united us this way? There’s an opportunity here, and I hope there are a bunch of people smarter than me ready to seize it.

Universal healthcare—let’s make it happen, people!



I just wanted to read the letter from the Nobel laureates asking the U.S. Senate not to confirm RFKJr. I went through all kinds of paywall and email wall b.s. at the NYT and what I found on archive was broken, it had bits and pieces only. Finally I found the link to the PDF (static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/…) and I have to say the letter is pretty underwhelming.

thanks for posting. I also looked (unsuccessfully) for the actual letter...

El #softwarelibre como derecho humano

En una sociedad cada vez más dependiente de la tecnología ¿Tiene cabida el considerar la libertad del software que mueve esa tecnología que usamos como un derecho humano?

My #AntennaPodEcho for 2024.

Honorable mention to @grammargirl

I used to listen to the Grammar Girl Quick and Dirty Tips... podcast on Stitcher years ago, but it wasn't until recently that I added the feed to AntennaPod and started listening again.

in reply to nebunez

Welcome back! I love to hear that!

I'm actually curious how you feel about the show now versus how it was before.

I feel like it's changed a lot — so much so that I've been thinking about doing a survey to see how people feel about it. But as someone who stopped and came back, I think you'd have an especially interesting perspective!

in reply to Mignon Fogarty

It has changed but only in good ways! And I didn't even really notice the changes at first.

When I started listening again it felt familiar. The core format is there, but it feels like it's matured. I especially love the interviews.
