Blocking adblockers apparently doesn't work well enough so google resorts to various forms of gaslighting (delayed video playback, api randomly returning wrong video, and now skipping video straight to the end).

At the height of the Great Famine in 1960, a group of students exiled to the countryside launched a magazine that dared to tell the truth. Their convictions, and the love they bore for one another, were put to the test.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a constellation of 31 satellites which is used for navigation and precise geodetic position measurements. Data from over 2000 receivers have been analyzed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. JPL's GipsyX software is used to produce these time series and other useful data products. Each site is represented by a green dot. The direction of horizontal motion away from each green dot is represented by a yellow line. The length of the yellow line indicates the rate of motion.

This is a new satire site, right? These days it's getting harder and harder to differentiate between reality and fiction in tech. The rest of their posts are pretty much spot on.

"Let's give our new command line app the same name as a popular linux command even though it's not the same app and behaves differently. I'm sure our users would appreciate it when they have problem with the app and trying to search the solution later."

Distributed hashed linked list is so yesteryear. These days we're into text autocompletion instead.

I don't expect people to see any change in how we do things.

When companies say this, they'll usually do the exact opposite later down the line.

Piracy and Star Trek communities had a lot more success migrating their communities over to lemmy compared to other communities. Not 100% success as many opposed to the migration (I remember seeing big drama on r/piracy back then, and lesser drama on r/startrek), but a good chuck of them was successfully migrating to lemmy.

Edit: wait, I didn't realized it's @[email protected] himself that made this post. Man, I don't know how you're able keep going with encouraging redditors to migrate to lemmy with how redditors that stay on r/piracy was treating you. I say good riddance! Your hard work paid off!

AFAIK there is no open source messaging app that support RCS yet. It's not even included in android AOSP (or is it? I can't find any reference). It would help with adoption if google actually open-sourced the RCS client app.

According to Hwang, the company now formerly known as Twitter did offer "an alternative handle with the history of the @x account" so that his original account, complete with its posts and followers, could live on and continue to be used.

What short, catchy username did Musk's company change Hwang's handle to? @x12345678998765.

You can't make this shit up. God damn!
