A sorcerer appears and states that they will erase any one song from existence - which song would you choose?
  • At first, I was going to pass on destroying music, but then I remembered the anger I feel any time I have to see Peter Pan because, in part, the fucking racist shit that is What Makes the Red Man Red. Maybe I could work out a deal to erase the entire movie...

    Before anyone attempts to defend it with, "it was a product of the times", know that the play Peter Pan is based on was considered shockingly racist at the time and Disney's solution to that was to double down on the racism so that nobody would take it seriously.

  • Child medicine
  • This is because Mary Poppins lied to us. It isn't a spoonful of sugar that makes the medicine go down, but something with a bit of salt in addition to that sugar. Salt masks bitterness.

  • MAGA Turns on Joe Rogan as He Endorses RFK Jr. and Not Trump
  • I have zero Joe Rogan on my feed. You are literally making it worse by engaging with his content in any way (down votes being a big one). Just completely ignore content you don't like and it'll go away over time.

  • Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled
  • I'm showing my age, but back when IE was basically the only browser and Firefox (Firebird back then) launched, people often lamented that things didn't work in Firefox. The solution? People used Firefox and web developers were forced to make their shit work in Firefox. When Chrome came out, suddenly we had three real options and the way to make everything work? Open Standards.

    Now, Chrome is in the position IE was back before Firefox came around. How ever will we make sure things work in Firefox??? Use Firefox. If enough people dump Google's malware browser, the web has to go back to supporting multiple browsers through open standards.

  • It's okay, tankies love fascism, so they're not put out by the result
  • How wonderful if that were true. It used to be commonplace and it made it harder to demonize the other side. People were able to compromise and work together on things. Now that they can't spend evenings reaffirming their mutual humanity, they spend their days talking past each other.

  • Stop Using Your Face or Thumb to Unlock Your Phone
  • Your situation is more likely to be caused by Android's system to make sure you don't forget your pin. It has a number of unlocks (and a length of time) before it forces you to do the code.

  • It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime Subscription
  • On the contrary, during the great formula shortage of 2021/2022, Amazon Prime and the recurring delivery option was the only way I was able to get formula for my twins. Speed was important l, but so was Amazon's huge supply chain.

    Since then, we live in a remote place and getting some stuff just isn't possible at the one store near us. Amazon is really one of the best ways to get things we need. Now, of course, I hate them, but I also hate Walmart and don't really have choices beyond those or a gas station convenience store.

  • You're just a kid, how would you know what you want for the rest of your life?
  • Met my wife in highschool and got married right out of college. We are now pushing 40 and are still happy and content. We were lucky, we grew together and in similar ways, but we also just knew when we knew. We even had twins a few years back and even the stress of that didn't destroy us.

    We (hopefully) still have many years together and maybe things will break down, but, so far, neither of us regret marrying so young.

  • It's funnt because it's true
  • I respectfully disagree with one major caveat. I'll get that out of the way first; I think there should be a name for these foods that recognize the creators (e.g. Italian American food is American food that comes from Italian immigrants). We've traditionally been bad at giving credit or, worse, using names to mark a cuisine as "other" and weird.

    The thing is that there really isn't a food of a place. People use ingredients that are available and use techniques from the people around them. When cultures interact, they create remixes of cuisine that take unfamiliar ingredients and techniques and create something new.

    Let me use the food of my own home, New Mexico, as an example. The food of the region is a mixture of Spanish colonizers, later Mexican immigrants, and Native American foods using a crazy combination of techniques and ingredients from all three. It isn't Spanish food. It isn't Mexican food. It isn't Native American food. It is New Mexican food, a thing that arose from a place and its history. Now, with Asian immigrants moving in, the food has started to incorporate stuff from those cultures too.

  • The attack vector is as follows:

    1. Evil.com phishes a user and asks for username and password for Good.com
    2. Evil.com immediately relays those credentials to Good.com
    3. Good.com asks Evil.com for TOTP
    4. Evil.com asks victim for TOTP
    5. Evil.com relays TOTP to Good.com and does a complete account takeover

    The various physical dongles prevent this by using the asking domain as part of the hash. If you activated the dongle on Evil.com, it'll do nothing on Good.com (except hopefully alerting the SOC at Good.com about a compromised username and password pair).

  • The World’s Largest Wind Turbine Has Been Switched On
  • Because most things like this are measured in average power per year and it is useful for comparison. Different technologies produce energy at different rates. Solar, only when the sun is up. How would you compare it to wind which has different rules?

    Taken to an extreme, consider some hypothetical new technology that produced 50 Gigawatts of energy, but did it in a second and then took a year to recharge before doing it again. Would it be more useful to say it had a 50 Gigawatt capacity or that it provided 50 Gigawatts of power per year when trying to compare it to other technologies?

    Edit: I hope nobody would use my hypothetical technology... Boom!

  • The World’s Largest Wind Turbine Has Been Switched On
  • Is there a technical reason for this (e.g. strength of materials) or are we forgetting that this is rotating around a point at the top of the tower and that it utilizes the space above that point?

  • Compare american vs japanese craftsmen-cars
  • This was the actual purpose of CAFE laws, but lobbying from the auto industry carved out exceptions for "light trucks" (meaning not-semi trucks). This exception is also why SUVs, classified as light trucks, have largely replaced wagons.
