If other comments donāt get you sorted, Scrounger does it nicely. (if you trust some random site/ have no sensitive bookmarks; other options exist if not.)
Hmm. Are you asking in good faith, or to dogpile? Anyway, sure; I can explain why.
The Gruesome - clickbait because "if it bleeds it leads."
Story - words like "story" are often plainly false when the article is a tiny blurb or fluff piece. Thankfully, this article is an actual story. But remember, it's still bait.
of How - clickbait because it asks a question it doesn't answer, baiting the headline-reader to click.
Neuralink's Monkeys - oh, another Elon Musk altar. The press can't get enough of Musk.
Actually Died - more bleeding leading.
Headlines can just be content, rather than a tease. This article title intentionally relays no new info.
Ah, so I was wrong. Gotcha.
Clickbait headline, no tldr? Thatās a downvote for me dawg.
Almost scrolled past, as I love HSL. Glad I didnāt!
tldr: The V of HSV is still unfortunately the same linear nonsense from its roots in RGB. Colors donāt work that way and human eyes donāt perceive lightness that way and we can do better.
Rotten Tomatoes: critics 75%, audiences 79%.
Spirited and sweet with an emphasis on the healing power of friendship, The Mighty is a modest charmer that comes by its whimsy honestly.
anti-clickbait tldr: identities, apps, systems should have only the access and privileges they need. A least-privilege security posture is obvious, but many make bad choices.
Wahhhhhh waaaaaah. Itās transparent, so where are all the caustics?!? Reeeeeeeeeee.
amazing work. +1
Iāll be the one to stoop to a name and shame. From the receipt, thatās Jon & Vinny's Brentwood. Thanksāwill now be sure to avoid going there.
Hmm. Iām new here. Why is this post getting downvotes (with no comments about why)?
Edit: I originally phrased the question to be about "no-comment downvotes" which is too easy to misunderstand. I rephrased it since I do see downvotes, and thought downvoting was for content that doesn't fit the community, or for other objections where it is expected that people would comment their objection rather than silently downvote and move on.

anti-clickbait tldr: system uses facial recognition, complete with the expected false positives, false negatives, and bias.
Key passage:
Clearās methods determined its facial-recognition system to enroll new members was vulnerable to abuse, said people familiar with the review, who asked not to be identified discussing security-sensitive information.
The computer-generated photos of prospective customers at times captured blurry images that only showed chins and foreheads, or faces obscured by surgical masks and hoodies.
The process ā which allowed Clear employees to manually verify prospective customersā identities after its facial recognition system raised flags ā created the potential for human error.
Apparently last July āa man slipped through Clearās screening lines at Reagan National Airport near Washington, before a government scan detected ammunition ā which is banned in the cabin ā in his possession.ā And heād āalmost managed to board a flight under a false identity.ā The TSA checkpoint found the ammunition, which is what it is supposed to do. This had nothing to do with his identity. Thereās no suggestion that the passenger intended to do anything nefarious.
anti-clickbait tldr: āā¦contempt of Congress, for failing to supply documents related to an investigation into supposed censorship by tech companies of conservatives.ā Ā *yawn*

Tech Packaging Waste for Consumer Ego-Stroking

Tech Fails: mangled devices, tech TIFUs, software gore, iiiiiiitttttttttttt, and hostile tech design
Tech Fails
From spicy pillows to thrown controllers, tech company shaming to gory detail articles on corporate bungling, tales of when you had the good idea at the meeting and were thrown out the window to times when the keynote demo device let the magic smoke out. And maybe some meme shitposts.
Loving the explosion of content in the fediverse! Looking forward to posting and seeing your Tech Fails.
