"Uh, do I really need to install this app to order food?"
"Yes. And also we'll need access to your contacts, location 24/7, your photos, microphone, and possibly your soul."
"…I just wanted a pizza."
"Cool. In exchange, here’s 6 push notifications a day, and targeted ads for gym memberships (because you're eating too much pizza)."
Let's look at App Tracking, why it's bad & how you can turn it off 👉 https://tuta.com/blog/app-tracking
I posted some of my earlier tracks to Mirlo today:
👆 To be clear, this is for audio releases, no video required!
If you have a new release on the NHAM release page, we plan to cut together a promo for those every week. A short little video that will play a snippet of the song and show the cover art along with the artist's name and track title with a link to https://nham.co.uk/releases
So even if you are not a video maker, we would like to help promote your new work on the video channel!

It is so clear to me that Waymo, Zoox and other robocars are an existential threat to public transit, they exist to kill and devour it, every robotaxi win is a transit loss and vice versa. I'm sounding the alarm as loudly as I know how. But I feel like a Cassandra with how many urbanists won't see this.
an awesome new palette for you to enjoy:
Cosmic Red (#d92650),
Foxy (#aa5c55),
Ginger Root (#bf7540),
Jet Ski (#5595aa), and

If you think Trump's march to authoritarian power is unstoppable - or already a fait accompli - just note how panicked and weak he was tonight and he wheedled and whined about nothing is his fault. That's not a man who thinks he's winning.
🚀🕳️ THIS BLACK HOLE DID NOT STICK AROUND
James Webb confirmed the first-ever runaway supermassive black hole—blasting through space at 2.2 million mph after getting kicked out of its home galaxy. It’s tearing through the “Cosmic Owl” galaxies, dragging a glowing trail of gas like celestial tire smoke. A black hole fleeing the scene. Webb caught it red-handed. Mind=boggled.

Ganked here because the OP I found it on doesn't believe in spending two minutes to add alt-text so I would boost it. But I think you guys deserve to see it anyway.
I watch Jeopardy most days, and it’s become clear to me that my knowledge of African geography is abysmal. So I made myself a tiny web app with a blank map to help me practice remembering where all the different countries are on the continent.
Test your own knowledge!

I notice people posting about trying to get a job, so here's hoping that an appropriate candidate reads this.
My employer is looking for someone with devops skills (Linux, databses, networking and development) who's willing to work in Singapore.
The job involves supporting customers (mostly banks) running financial software.
Let me know if you want to know more.
Not sure what hashtag to use for this, so feel free to boost.
I just saw that we now have over 100 verified accounts on Gaza Verified.
https://gaza-verified.org/people/
That’s over 100 people that @joynewacc, @aseelfromgz, @casey and I have had live video conversations with to confirm that they are real people from Gaza.
As previously announced, the last day for verification calls this year is this Friday (19th December, 2025) and we will be closing sign ups for new calls at end of day tomorrow. Sign-ups will resume again in the new year.
You can find the fundraisers for our Gaza Verified families all in one place at:
https://gaza-verified.org/donate/
The list is sorted by those who have received the least in the last week.
Given many are struggling through the harsh winter in makeshift tents being flooded and swept away by torrential downpours and gale-force winds, your help – even if it is a couple of dollars – can go a long way to helping them survive Israel’s ongoing genocide and its blockade of essential aid.
Thank you!

We are about to get a "post-American internet," because we are entering a post-American *era* and a post-American *world*. Some of that is Trump's doing, and some of that is down to his predecessors.

The modern condition is mostly trying to do things on your own that people have historically achieved with a large support network and wondering why you're tired all the time.
Vegans! Suggestions for food/recipes to bring to Christmas lunch? My niece is vegan and I want to make sure she has some really good food on the day, instead of the usual "salad" and store bought vegie burgers #vegan #food #christmas
The cool thing about cats is you don't have to get them a Christmas present, because empty boxes, balls of crinkly paper, shiny bows, and unattended plates of food are the greatest gifts of all. Oh and let's not forget the full tree filled with sparkly toys, you clearly put up for their enrichment.
Wait...did cats invent Christmas?

Fewer than 60,000 people – 0.001% of the world’s population – control three times as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity, according to the authoritative World Inequality Report 2026, based on data compiled by 200 researchers, that argues global inequality has reached such extremes that urgent action has become essential.
