Après moi, le déluge

In 10-20 years Microsoft may finally reach a point Windows finally gets a package manager with a well-defined package format, auto update, atomic transactions, just a few decades after Linux.

Name the fonction after a war criminal.

Thanks.

Whoever cropped the author or artist signature should whip him/herself.

Caling your MEP is more efficient.

Protecting the identity of members make sense. If that org is fighting bad actors engaged in CSAM and child abuse, they’d want to shield themselves from harrasment and retaliation.

What’s most shady is the tactic, asking third party to block archive.is when they apparently didn’t ask achive.is themselves to remove the content.

The sad thing is you paid to get a car with a TCU, then paid a mechnic to remove it. Assuming you’re not a mechnic/hobbist yourself.

It’s good that Mozilla is shaming car companies and shining a spotlight on the issue. Journalists need to ask about tracking and privacy when a new car model comes out. Buyer should ask sellers the same.

You may be right, but I don’t see how that change the calculus. Should employees and union be complacent with corps’ bad and potentially illegal actions (firing for being in an union is not legal in some areas), refuse to defend colleagues, just to avoid hurting the corporation pride?

Anyway, we’ll probably hear more soon, and will see how this play out.

R* should have thought of that before doing union busting. Now management is left with bad options and have to decide which option is least bad, for instance admitting they were wrong, or let the situation decay further and potentially escalate the fight against their own workforce.

That’s a great ad for anyone selling pools.

It’s both, and not a small amount of bytes.

Adblocking is a more efficient way to make adversiting unprofitable, as it avoid wasting both yours’ and adtech’s bandwidth.

Wasting resources isn’t a great strategy, even if someone else is paying for it.

Not satisfied with polluting earth with resource-hungry data centers, Google is looking into polluting earth’s orbit.

Is this clickbait, or is the story as omnious as the headline suggest?

if a 100% effective cure (or preventative) for cancer comes around, what will be the next big goal?

Making the cure accessible. Some cancer treatments are more effective AND much more expensive. Companies may be looking for return on investment, or the treatment is tailor-made from the patient’s own cells, and inherently labor intensive and hard to produce.

Either way, curing 100% of the richest 5% who can afford it isn’t the most satifying outcome.

Now, find an enzyme that can break down fossil fuel & plastic companies.

Nothing spookier than cuts to sciences and research funding.

I started releasing rather than killing spiders after reading “Blade Runner: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”

In that future, most animals have disappeared and people consider the sight of a spider as an extraordinary thing. Sparing a single spider might be vain, but it feels right knowing insect/spider population is quickly decreasing.

mRNA vaccines seem to boost the effectiveness of an immune therapy for skin and lung cancer

It appears they found indications that combining immune therapy with some mRNA vaccines may increase survival time. Hopefully a medical trial can confirm this.

The headline only mention the vaccine which is a bit confusing, because the paper doesn’t make conclusions on the effect of the vaccine alone. But on its combinaison with another therapy.

Anyway, there’s hope for more efficient cancer treatments.

If Trump leave office before the end of his term, this guy gets the office.

The USA elected a group of facist into office, and would have to vote the whole group out.
