This 90s retro fashion is getting out of hand.

Scary fact: food contamination laws allow manufacturers up to 1 floof in each food package 🙀

Why use a software that requires an involved workaround when there is software available that already does it?

Nothing against NextCloud, buy it's not the only solution available, and people have different needs.

They have similar licences.

NextCloud server is AGPL 3.0

OpenCloud server is Apache 2.0

Not OP, but having files and folder structures accessible in the OS helps with a lot of tasks and interoperability.

If I want to add media files to Jellyfin, etc, I can't just drop them into the video folder remotely because I have it mapped to a particular folder on the drive. If I want to make a copy of a large folder, I first have to mount the cloud as a "remote" drive, then do the operation from there.

It's much easier to access files and folders outside of a database if they are needed for anything outside of the cloud service. I know that there may also be some security and efficiency factors that make a database favorable, but in terms of ease of use, it is just more effort to use a fileserver that operates through a database.

 

A Ukrainian soldier severely wounded in a Russian-occupied town spent more than a month waiting for rescue, according to Ukraine's First Separate Medical Battalion. After six failed attempts and the loss of six ground drones, the seventh mission — carried out using a damaged land-based robotic system — finally brought him home alive.

 

I'm having a weird problem since the latest update. Whenever I am using an app that's accessing the internet, it gets errors such as server not found.

When I'm using a browser, I don't have the same issues. It's only within apps.

When I switch over to mobile internet, then things are working fine again. This is happening on multiple Wi-Fi networks.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there something in the settings that I can adjust? Is it possible that another app is interfering somehow?

Well, the guy he shot apologized to him afterwards, so that makes it, I dunno... better? Worse?

There are several apps and UIs that do this. Tesseract for one.

My wife had unbelievable pain in her feet, especially during pregnancy. We tried a lot of things before going to a foot doctor. It's not necessarily the cheapest thing in the world, but they have a lot of neat toys that can analyze your individual foot and create custom insoles. It's an easy investment in your health.

It's just because they used novel punctuation — some people still type like this.

  1. I like to own the stuff I buy.

  2. I don't want to pay a corporation a monthly fee to access my own data.

  3. I don't want a corporation or government to have unlimited access to my stuff.

 

The IDF publishes the full, 15-minute uncut drone video showing Hamas terror operatives staging the recovery of the remains of a hostage it returned to Israel last night, in front of the Red Cross.

The remains were identified as belonging to Ofir Tzarfati, whose body was recovered by the IDF in the Gaza Strip in December 2023, less than two months after his abduction during the Hamas onslaught.

“Contrary to Hamas’s claims of difficulties locating the bodies of the deceased hostages, yesterday Hamas operatives were documented removing body remains from a structure that had been prepared in advance and burying them nearby,” the IDF says.

“Shortly thereafter, the Hamas terror organization summoned representatives of the Red Cross and staged a false display of discovering a deceased hostage’s body,” it says.

 

When Sweden and Denmark built a connection between their countries, Sweden preferred a bridge, and Denmark preferred a tunnel, they each built their half and connected them in the middle with an artificial island. The Øresund Bridge is unique in the world.

 
 

Sudan’s civil war has become a humanitarian catastrophe of staggering scale, marked by famine, ethnic cleansing and sexual violence. Over three years, an estimated 150,000 people have been killed, and nearly 13 million have been forced from their homes. But the destruction of Sudan’s cultural heritage has drawn far less attention. Jeffrey Brown reports for our art and culture series, CANVAS.

 

The prime minister ordered mandatory evacuations as officials braced for tens of thousands to be displaced. Three people were killed and 13 others injured during preparations for the storm, the health minister said.

 

Covid-19 mRNA vaccines could help boost the immune system to fight off cancer, according to a study published in the journal Nature. The study looked at the clinical outcomes for over 1,000 patients with late-stage melanoma or lung cancer who were treated with a form of immunotherapy called immune checkpoint inhibitors.

The findings showed that “patients who received either the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy were more than twice as likely to be alive after three years compared with those who didn't receive either vaccine.”

 

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has refused to swear in Grijalva, a Democrat, while the government is shut down, leaving the residents of her sprawling southern Arizona district without a vote in Congress — or help back home.

Grijalva would be the decisive 218th member to support a discharge petition and force a House vote on the Epstein files over the objections of Johnson and Trump.

Grijalva has asserted the delay is an attempt to block a vote on the Epstein files. Among her supporters, that’s a given.

 

The software is labelled Beta, but is being pushed out to existing PCs anyway because.. well.. why not beta something in prod, it’s 2025 after all.

It appears in Game Bar, which is accessible from Windows Key + G. You may not have it yet as they are staging deployment. I’m not in Windows Insiders, but I have it installed — so it looks like the roll out is becoming wide. Note that I had uninstalled Copilot from my PC… but Gaming Copilot silently installed anyway.

It is similar to Recall, except not all the processing is done locally — it relies on the cloud. It screenshots gameplay, and then extracts elements of the screen (such as symbols and text) to work out what the player is doing. The idea is it can help you game, e.g. you can ask questions about what you’re doing in the game at a given moment.

 

We all talk about Tuvix and the weird salamander babies, but no one mentions the time they created doppelgangers of the entire crew on the demon planet and never spoke of it again.
