man, the whole elon musk/twitter situation seems less & less real the more it plays out

saw this earlier from an old twitter tab, thought my browser had been hijacked with some extension. what an amateurish logo, looks like what a tiny business puts up on their wordpress when they have no designers & are only making a logo because they have to, definitely not what i'd expect from one of the biggest social media sites in the world. elon has been fixated on the whole x thing for literal decades now & that's the best logo he came up with?

yeah i just found this dude a few days ago thanks to a meme, good rapper but his sense of humor is super offensive lmao

 

tl;dr: samsung confirms the z fold 5, z flip 5, tab 9, & both watch 6 models. with the foldables, they're adopting a new hinge design that will finally remove the hinge gap from the previous models. they also hint at even more cross-device connectivity in one ui.

song goes hard but this dude is going to jail lmao

 

tl;dr: a biotech startup named conception has made breakthroughs in the field of in vitro gametogenesis, a process which allows labs to grow an induced pluripotent stem cell into a full-fledged human egg. this technology can allow women who can't produce eggs to still be able to have kids, & for same-sex couples to have babies with both partners' dna.

conception claims to have gotten farther in this process than any other lab so far, creating mini-ovaries with follicle cells that the eggs need to thrive. however, given the secrecy & lack of evidence so far, some doctors & academics doubt that conception has actually made this breakthrough. some are also concerned about the ethical & moral implications of this project.

thanks for letting me know!

you'd be surprised, I've heard from other reddit users that entire discord servers, wikis, & other communities would first start from reddit group chats so apparently there were a lot super involved in it. one of the big community partnered discord servers I was in told me the only reason they were on discord at first was because reddit chat made it hard to search old messages

yeah, its getting a little worrying how they're just buying the game market now, especially when you remember how horrible gates & ballmer era microsoft was with anticompetition

I agree, I mentioned the underwood situation in my post too

[–] nihilx7E3@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

thanks for the recommendation (@dax@beehaw.org too), been looking for different brands to replace huy fong

[–] nihilx7E3@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

yeah, i mentioned them fucking over underwood in my post lol. i wouldn't say it's solely because of that situation, as climate change is the reason their various cheaper suppliers don't have as many reds to sell in the first place, but losing underwood basically lost them their safety net for situations like this

Wasn’t there a Sriracha shortage this time last year too?

yeah, there was also one in 2020, & a lot of people (myself included) had trouble getting it in parts of 2021 too. huy fong's had supply issues for years now & it doesn't seem like they're ever getting out of it with how high demand sriracha is

Because I bought a bunch of it and then realized the post-underwood Sriracha was not the same. It’s too sweet now with not enough heat.

agreed, that combined with the insane prices & the fact that hf sriracha is spending more time out of stock than in is the reason i'm giving up on the brand & moving on to other sauces, the last 2 bottles of huy fong we had cost ~$40 a few months ago, & we all agreed it wasn't really worth the price at all

same here, the optimist (& diablo fan) in me is hoping that microsoft/xbox will make them a good enough company to where i feel comfortable giving them my money again, but the cynical part of my mind is just telling me that they'll probably just go "welp, kotick's gone, diablo 4 on game pass everyone!" then go "hands off" & just ignore the company aside from uploading their games to gamepass & funding them, like they did with arkane. hope i'm wrong though

 

tl;dr from the article:

What you need to know

  • The FTC is trying to stop Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard for almost $69 billion.
  • After having a preliminary injunction denied, the FTC appealed the decision to the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, appealing the decision and seeking injunctive relief.
  • The injunctive relief, which would've extended the existing temporary restraining order, has been denied. 
  • Microsoft can legally acquire Activision Blizzard in the U.S. very shortly.

tl;dr: sriracha is selling for ~$40-$70 a bottle due to a shortage of red jalapeño crops, caused by climate change (specifically, extremely hot, dry weather as well as landslide effects from various climate events in the previous years). huy fong says sriracha is resuming limited production but did not specify when this production began or how limited it was.

wonder how they'd be doing if they didn't try to screw over underwood ranches, who are apparently not having much trouble sourcing the peppers at all

 

tl;dr: passkeys, as proposed now, will fill up existing fido2/webauthn authenticators if the feature becomes widespread enough. this is because the feature of "passkeys" actually refer to resident keys, which most authenticators today can only store a limited amount of (some, none at all!). preventing this will require changes to either webauth, fido, or passkey libraries.
