The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms.
  • It's online radio, where you can make stations built from a seed song/genre and then it tailors itself based on the thumbed up/down songs. Both interactions will give the selection algorithm more info to work with, but the thumb down will also immediately skip a song and prevent it from showing up again.

    It used to be a really good service and was my primary music option, but it got bought by LiveNation and went into the shitter fast. Ads are completely out of control, but uBlock helps significantly ofc.

    The algorithm also had a tendency to form your various stations into very samey sounding, but that may just be me using seed songs that are too similar and not being aggressive enough with the thumbs down.

  • MTG is 'absolutely' racist, Texas Democrat says after their heated exchange in House
  • Typically, this is what the cards are themed as, at least the older sets. White and Black are "enemy" colors in Magic: the Gathering after all, same as Red and Blue, Black and Green, etc (based on their position in the MTG color pentagon).

    That said, there were some definitely racist cards that got banned and pulled from databases in 2020, Invoke Prejudice being a notable example.

    It shows a hooded executioner with a black axe. “If opponent casts a Summon spell that does not match the color of one of the creatures under your control, that spell is countered,” says the card. It effectively kills off creatures that don’t look like the creatures already on the table.

  • Alpha life
  • This vividly reminded me of the browser flash game for Bionicle that LEGO had on the Bionicle website when the original run was big. I logged so many hours in that game, I wish I could find an archived version to run through again.

  • In days of old when knights were bold and wizards stayed up late
  • Firefox makes it difficult for IT to manage it through Active Directory and Group rules. Where I work, if it weren't for the fact that we produce a web app as our primary product, we'd be locked down to only Edge.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • If this was a recent occurrence, it may have been from the 6.6.5 kernel. There was a WiFi regression in that version that did exactly that, slowed the system to an absolute crawl. I got hit by it on my PC and ended up hosing my whole install (because I panicked and botched things up), but my laptop was fine. I finally got things reinstalled a couple days later when 6.6.6 was released, which fixed the regression anyway.

  • Behold The Hyundai Uni Wheel. Transportation May Never Be The Same
  • Locally (Baltimore MD), in the city at least, there's been a plague of car thefts for a while, specifically of Hyundai and Kia models. I forget the exact details, but there's a software glitch that basically makes them child's play to hotwire and roll off with.

  • Nintendo Reportedly Plans to Release Next-Gen Console During Second Half of 2024
  • Agreed, but it was comparable (in sales) to the Xbox and not too far behind the N64. It certainly didn't put Nintendo under, but of course you could say the same for the Wii-U. Financially you could argue it was a failure (and be largely correct), but IMO whether a console failed or not is more than just the raw units sold.

    Also, I misspoke in my original comment - Galaxy was on the Wii, not the GC. Must have been thinking about Sunshine.
