Trump trusted more than Biden on democracy among key swing-state voters
  • “The media has wildly succeeded in its effort to misinform many voters” would be more correct. This has been a relentless, deliberate strategy. If they had just been incompetent it would not be this lopsidedly wrong.

  • Apple is bringing RCS to the iPhone in iOS 18 | The new standard will replace SMS as the default communication protocol between Android and iOS devices
  • “Why does this microwave oven cost $1500?”

    “Two reasons. The first is that it has to have a full network stack to allow it to download software from competing appliance vendors. The second is the cost that the manufacturer had to bear to develop software for every single other microwave sold. There are some pretty weird architectures out there, and they had to hire a whole bunch of programmers.”

  • How Much Energy Would It Take to Pull Carbon Dioxide out of the Air?
  • People keep complaining that solar and wind give us “too much electricity at the wrong time”, causing power prices to go negative (as if this is a problem). Having a beneficial process like co2 removal that you can do at any time of day (the co2 isn’t going anywhere) that would soak up all that energy seems like a win win.

  • "That's when judges hand down jail time": Ex-NY prosecutors say Trump is daring judge with outburst
  • Yeah, but unfortunately with how charged everything is if he gets anything he will claim political persecution and try to be a martyr

    He’s doing that now. He will do it if he is sentenced, and ALSO if he doesn’t get jail time. Appeasing him gets you exactly nothing.

    ( his campaign has claimed they already raised 55m since the conviction).

    His campaign claims a lot of things, none of them true. It would be surprising if this turned out to be the first time they weren’t lying.

    It's why I think he didn't get really anything bad when he violated the gag order so much.

    I think the judge was going overboard to give every benefit of the doubt to Trump so there would be no basis for appeal. I hope that’s the case.

  • NPR editor who alleged left-wing bias at network suspended
  • But what is the value of having those interviews? Platforming somebody who is just going to tell flat out lies, and not calling them out, doesn’t inform the viewer of anything other than that watching that news outlet is a waste of time.

  • Less than a day before first criminal trial begins, Trump attacks judge—again
  • What logistics? You put him in a jail. Works for other people. “What about secret service protection?” They can go there with him. They can go home at night though. If you worry about his safety, put him in his own personal prison on an abandoned military base. It worked for Rudolph Hess.

    It’s only hard if you make it hard.

  • I just want to view the recipe
  • CopyMeThat https://apps.apple.com/us/app/copy-me-that-recipe-manager/id956800243 is great. Give it the url, it extracts the recipe. It not only gets rid of the ads, but also the obligatory family history of how the recipe was brought by Nana from the old country, followed by a tedious retelling of a touching story about her. And optionally saves it to your account so you always have it. And there’s web access so you can use anywhere it and a safari extension on the Mac.
