  • The only thing more pointless is our PERFECTLY SPHERICAL ORBS, NOW HALF OFF IF YOU BUY TWO! BUT WAIT, THERES MORE! IF YOU CALL THE NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN NOW, WE’LL THROW IN A LIMITED EDITION BONUS STAND TO HOLD YOUR ORB! THATS RIGHT, IF YOU CALL NOW YOU WILL GET TWO ORBS AND TWO STANDS FOR THE PRICE OF JUST ONE! CALL 1-800-PONDER AND ORDER YOUR TWO PONDERING ORBS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!

    disclaimer perfectly spherical pondering orb incorporated does not guarantee increased ponderance, seer abilities, or supernatural powers. perfectly spherical pondering orbs are only fda approved for looking at to ponder. do not look at the sun through perfectly spherical pondering orb. do not drop perfectly spherical pondering orb. do not leave perfectly spherical pondering orb in reach of a child. this ad is brought to you by raid shadow legends.



  • This is the argument I see to defend use of the word and I’ve never understood it. Where I am (west coast-ish of the US), the word is used very specifically to mean autistic. If you ask someone not to say retard, they say autistic instead. If you ask them not to say autistic, they say special education. If not that, slow. If not that, someone who takes the short bus. Unambiguously the people here use the r slur as a slur against autistic people. They use it as an insult towards allistic people to degrade them as lesser. Same as calling a straight person the f slur. Maybe it’s different in other parts of the country, but the r slur is absolutely used as a slur against autistic people where I am.


  • I came across rewind.ai for macos a year ago and have wanted something like this for windows/linux ever since. As long as this is all processed on-device as promised, I’m super excited and it might actually be enough to get me to upgrade from Windows 10 to 11. Except I think it requires an NPU which afaik my ~epic gamer pc~ doesn’t have, so maybe in the future.


  • According to available information that I’ve come across, everything is processed on-device and encrypted and 25gb can store months of rewind data depending on how much and how you use your device. At that rate, a terabyte should store about a decade of history (I can’t think of anything you would need to go that far back for though).

    If security researchers don’t find sussy behavior where Recall sends back some sort of data beyond basic telemetry, there’s not really any higher of a privacy risk compared to using your computer as you currently do. Also you can disable it for certain applications and delete history when you want to (or disable the feature altogether). People are being really weird about this for reasons that have already been addressed.
















  • It was posted about 20 minutes after I finished making it last night. It’s based on an older soup alignment chart I remembered coming across. Also I think Twitter is pretty intuitive to use. Open the app, the content is there. Scroll for more, like and retweet what you want to see more of. The app has obviously gone to shit lately but it’s still the best example that came to mind for that cell. This comment is not an endorsement of the current state of Twitter.
