Magic Lasso suggests that Chrome might be the new IE
With a global browser market share of over 65%, Google’s Chrome has become the target of criticism and disdain, much like Microsoft’s Internet Explorer once was. Is Chrome facing similar challenges to Internet Explorer (IE) and will this lead to its downfall?
Bloated and complacent, Chrome might be on the path to playing the same role as IE was playing 15 years ago, shunned by developers and technologically inferior to other browsers.
It is of course to good a story to be true:
In 2018, a faked snapshot of a UESP page was shared online which falsely stated that, during production of Morrowind, Kirkbride was found under the influence of psychoactive drugs by Todd Howard after being absent from work, paired with a photograph it claimed was taken by Howard of the incident.[49] In truth, no such UESP page ever existed; the story is a fabrication.[49] The image was taken from a music video, fat, that Kirkbride had filmed and uploaded to YouTube in 2013, many years after his time working on Morrowind (the video depicts Kirkbride lethargically overeating as Wesley Willis' I'm Sorry That I Got Fat plays).[50] Lady Nerevar said of the video's misuse, "If you told me that a dumb video we made for fun was going to generate a wholeass conspiracy theory that real life people would ask me about [...] None of that happened in any way, shape, or form".
With regard to the hoax and exaggerated accounts of his writing The 36 Lessons of Vivec, Kirkbride said "You know that comes from a Photoshopped image, right? [...] that’s all a lie. I’ve already given an account of how the 36 [Lessons] were written: a week of bourbon, smokes, and solitude."[52] Kirkbride has repeatedly refuted internet myths that he used recreational drugs[52][53][54][55] and has said that the myths annoy him "more than a little bit".[56] Related rumors that he was dismissed from the company are likewise unfounded; Kirkbride left Bethesda for Zenimax's studio in California,[1] remained involved in the production of Morrowind after leaving the studio,[25] and continued to contribute to subsequent titles.[1][5][9][11]
My first theory was that it was just Naomi Watts' character's masturbation fantasy laid out on film. I still have to watch it a second time to confirm though 😬
Pro tip: Make yourself sound more sophisticated by using extravert/introvert. Just learned this myself two weeks ago and feel the need to share. (...and the need for smartassery)

Equality is essential for sustainability. The science is clear — people in more-equal societies are more trusting and more likely to protect the environment than are those in unequal, consumer-driven ones.

It's the year of the Linux desktop! Great time to make the switch 🤩
Google hacking was yesterday. German television hacking is so hot right now.

For context: 'Tagesschau' is Germany's most watched news broadcast. Around four million people watch the evening edition.
There are economical implications to this development. But IMHO population decline is necessary to ease the pressure on the ecosystem. 34% of mammals are humans, 62% is livestock, only 4% are wild animals. We shifted the natural world so far out of balance, that the need to sacrifice economic growth for sustainability is inevitable.
Apple adheres to the principle of form over function, instead of the old but still valid form follows function design principle. But TBH I never liked their stuff or their over the top big cheese attitude. So it's not a disgruntled apple user writing this.
Foucault's pendulum by Umberto Eco. Just thinking about it makes me want to read this masterpiece again.

Beschlagnahmte Geldwerte gehen an die entsprechende Landes- oder Bundeskasse und natürlich nicht an die Polizei, wir sind ja nicht in den USA.
But...but it's perfectly fine math, if you treat "mega plus", "regular", "rolls", "double plus", and "super mega" as units: regular = a, mega plus = b, => 12a=54b => a = 4.5b So one sheet of mega plus equals 4.5 sheets of regular.
- Red Dwarf is a about a slacker in space
- Father Ted is a sitcom about three priests on a remote island in Ireland
- Black Books is a sitcom revolving around the social misfits in a book store
- Peep Show is about the life of two people where you can hear the protagonist's thoughts
These are all quite old, so don't expect 16:9 🤩
Schwierig, weil durch §86a StGB geregelt ist das die Flagge nicht verwendet werden darf. https://dejure.org/gesetze/StGB/86a.html
Allerdings gibt es Ausnahmen:
(4) Die Absätze 1 und 2 gelten nicht, wenn die Handlung der staatsbürgerlichen Aufklärung, der Abwehr verfassungswidriger Bestrebungen, der Kunst oder der Wissenschaft, der Forschung oder der Lehre, der Berichterstattung über Vorgänge des Zeitgeschehens oder der Geschichte oder ähnlichen Zwecken dient.
In wie weit die Verbrennung der Flagge unter diesen Absatz fällt, kann ich nicht beurteilen.
IMHO sport is a misnomer. "Game" seems more fitting to me.
A Shadowrun Actual Play podcast. It's a role-playing podcast made by three friends and occasionally a guest, that makes me laugh so hard I have to cry.

LLMs like ChatGPT are not intelligent. They're just regurgitating information, making them susceptible to spreading misinformation like a fake moonlanding.
TL;DR: LLMs are just mimicking natural language and conversation. Fact checking and healthy skepticism is not part of their model. For example they can be easily tricked into advocating conspiracy theories, like a fake moon landing. Google Bard is even stating arithmetic falsehoods like 5*6 != 30
