I got as far as Tom Cotton. Everything else in that article is just going to be a waste of time to read.
The man is without ethics or morals.
Just your average urban druid interested in technology and quantum field theory.

I feel like a ‘raccoon’ that self-identifies as a ‘ramblingpanda’ on lemmy should be given…a warm welcome!
The trash is in the kitchen, the bamboo is out back, the bourbon is in the den, and the game starts in 5.
There’s growing speculation that 13.767 billions years may be the earliest that the universe can support life, due to events like this. The universe had to expand, a lot, to get to a place where life had a chance to evolve, and not get obliterated by these types of events.
Plus our galaxy may be in a void. A really big one at that:
In 2013 Barger and two colleagues, Ryan Keenan (then at the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Taiwan) and Lennox Cowie (University of Hawai‘i) counted some 35,000 galaxies from multiple surveys. What they found is that the Milky Way appears to live in a relatively empty area. Per unit volume, there’s half again as much light reaching us from galaxies 1.5 billion light-years away as there is from galaxies right around us.
It’s as if we’re living in the suburbs, and the skyglow we see in our backyard comes more from distant cities than from our neighbors.
If this sparse region that we live in is a true cosmic void, then at 1.5 billion light-years in radius, it’s well above average in size, says Hoscheit. Typical voids have radii between 90 million light-years and 450 million light-years, he says. But this void would be so big, it would encompass the Laniakea Supercluster, which the Milky Way and its Local Group of galaxies call home, as well as the Tully Local Void, which Laniakea borders. “It would be the largest void known to science,” he says.

So the fact that our black hole (Sagittarius A*) hasn’t done this, and that we’re far away from other black holes that have done this, just might be why you’re reading this reply.
Let’s toast to our existence in the backwaters of our galaxy and the KBC void! 🥂
While you’re there try the Apple Fritter! It’s like monkey bread* made with apple cinnamon bits, then deep fried and dipped in glaze.
*=Monkey Bread is just pull-apart bread made from large chunks of dough.
Okay. So how do we turn it off!? I’ve read nothing in my Samsung manuals about this “feature” and here no instructions for turning it off.
I wholeheartedly agree!
I guess they just don’t have any other curated content to fill that space… /s
I think you may have replied to the wrong post.
I’m not a fan either, but according to Apple their main News posts are “curated” by staffers.
Therefore it’s not an algorithm that can filter out certain topics and sites per your preferences. If they decide a post is newsworthy in the main area, and it just happens to be from a blocked site, you see that.
I’m not going to pretend I have my finger on the pulse of ‘gays everywhere’ but I’ve never heard, read, seen, or experienced that word being used as anything other than the common usage for a food item.
Edit: You may have witnessed an attempt to make it something, but that sounds like an attempt that failed.
The town I grew up in had a college and a university! I don’t think my parents bought us kids any new furniture until my dad built his own woodworking shop. I was a teenager by then!
We always got new mattresses, because NO FUCKING WAY was mom letting us sleep on a used, adult’s, student mattress. (I never knew you could stain them, that way, in those amounts…)
My sister still has a beautiful solid oak desk…
You like NFT, yeah?
“Thank you for reaching out! I really appreciate the gesture. However I’m very happy to inform you that I’m living a carefully considered and crafted life that I truly enjoy, and wouldn’t change a thing about it. So just mark me down as a ‘Happy Nomad’ and we’re all set! Oh, no thank you. Please save your paperwork / handouts for someone that truly needs your help. Thank you again for stopping by…”
Acknowledged their time, update their records, refuse to waste paper, and show them the door with thank you.
We’re talking about glue not craft paste. One can be launched across the room at an unsuspecting teacher, the other taste fantastic.
CRAB!
My hubs loves them so I get to sit across the table and listen as he brutally cracks open his food.
You know what they do with the legs, yeah?
I’ve licked the frog twice! How many does it take?
I wish more people would realize this! We’re years away from a truly reasoning computer.
Right now it’s all mimicry. Mimicry that hallucinates no less…
How would that support “First Sale Doctrine”?
While you’re there make damn sure they create a coherent naming scheme that allows upgrade paths/versioning.

Your answer was concise and succinct, for such a complicated topic. Thank you!
Ah, the ol’ “Brute Force” hack.
