@TheInsiderPaper I've said it a million times, Japan is our greatest ally, period. We should've been keeping them much closer these past couple decades.

BREAKING 🚨 US and Japan announce $40 billion nuclear power project

The elites don’t want you to know this, but you can just make good choices.

How did it do?

Without additional funding, Session's doors will close next month. Please read this appeal from Session co-founder Chris McCabe. getsession.org/donation

@TommyTran732 @ProtonVPN Thanks, I'll take a look. It's my VPN of choice and I'm on Linux so that definitely could impact me.

@FiveEyeTea @ProtonVPN privsec.dev/posts/linux/pr…

1/4 Google has known about a bug that breaks VPN apps for 7 months, leaving users exposed with no warning or error, just a VPN app that stopped working in the background. If you're using ANY VPN on Android, you can help us by getting Google's attention to fix it. Details 👇 🧵

Aren’t you afraid?

@AutismCapital It does look better in some cases but I don't see how this is a case of it being better? I think the original looks just fine.

For context this is what DLSS 5 does. It makes things look objectively BETTER. It's also OPTIONAL. You can choose. And the developers have the input so it *is* their vision as well. People just hate it because it's "generative AI" and some people HATE *anything* AI no matter what

Digital Foundry was super excited about the DLSS 5 announcement (because it was awesome) so they published a "FIRST LOOK" showing it off and praising it. Then the angry anti-AI mob came for them and ripped them apart and they got bullied into backpedalling. "We should have waited before posting our first round of coverage. We should have waited to see reactions from the audience." Translation: "We should have waited to see what the consensus mob opinion was before we posted our own individual thoughts." This is the reason why games suck these days. The mob bullies people into groupthink. People get so scared of giving their take they wait until the "Consensus approved opinion™️" is formed before they speak. Nobody wants to risk having the first/independent thought and risk being yelled at by the angry mob. It's super unfortunate, and the backpedalling here makes it worse because it signals cowardice and the majority of the mob doesn't care anyways, they'll find a new thing to hate.

@IAMTOMMACDONALD Just use Bandcamp. You keep ~70% of sales (100% on Bandcamp Friday events), set limits on free streams and anyone who buys your music owns high quality audio files. Better for everyone than Spotify!

WILD. Thank you guys ❤️🙏🏻 Get the new album before they stop counting numbers tomorrow.

@willnevershutup @kangminlee Yeah, but Shaggy was just supposed to be the brain-rotted stoner, essentially. Him and Scooby were always the dumb luck sort of characters in the series. In fairness, it's been a while since I've seen the show, but I don't remember anything pointing to feminism of any kind. 🤷‍♂️

@FiveEyeTea @kangminlee From what I remember Velma and Daphne were characters that were supposed to be smarter than Shaggy. Also, feminism was already planted way before the 1970's. Velma and Daphne were characters that embodied the "modern woman".

Wait they weren't race-swapped? They're actually white? On a Netflix show? What world are we living in

Akira (1988)

@MapEffects @Andrewnsnyder Very nice! I'm finishing up a re-read of Screwtape and I've had a parallel (albeit slower) re-read of the Ransom Trilogy as I go through LOTR for the first time. Lewis was already my favorite author but reading his work in parallel with Tolkien has been life-changing!

@Andrewnsnyder @FiveEyeTea Reading the Discarded Image now

You should read more C.S. Lewis.

Self-custody is the quiet power move!

@willnevershutup @kangminlee How were they feminists in the cartoon? I mean, maybe the later ones but the good, old classic one didn't have any political content that I remember 🤔

@kangminlee I have a feeling Velma and Daphne will be ULTRA feminists. They were already feminists in the original cartoon. But I hope that's not the case. I hope it will just be a funny show with a good story line.

Rolling out the shading fabric! Preparing for harvest with the Matsushita family on Tanegashima Island. Tanegashima’s extreme southern location makes this tea one of the first shinchas harvested in all Japan.

"AI is trained on your data"... this is not the real risk. It's a red herring, manufactured as The Concern because who cares that much. The real risk to you is not that tomorrow's model is trained on your data. The real risk is that ten thousand employees, hackers, and governments can access all your most personal and proprietary conversations today and forever. Privacy must be the default or humanity is seriously fucked.

Your phone isn’t just a tool anymore. It’s a notification machine designed to interrupt you all day. Messages. Alerts. Updates. Background activity. Constant noise, constant attention, constant pull. Do Not Disturb shouldn’t feel extreme. It should be normal.

@coletrain35 @LaNativePatriot The first one isn't bad at all (I'd even argue it's easy once you learn each fighter's mechanics), but the computer player is ridiculously hard in MK2 and beyond 👀

@LaNativePatriot Bruh I thought i was stroking out going back and playing the old Mortal Kombats. I was like how was I good at this when I was a kid. Lol

The video games today are SO forgiving compared to the ones we grew up with Now granted… I think this is modded footage, but if you go back and try to play these games today, it feels exactly like this Damn near impossible, even though I remember beating them as a child

@LaNativePatriot Definitely modded but the original SMB definitely did feel like this at times. I beat it but without save states on an emulator, it's even more challenging.
