Sunny day, sweeping the clouds away, on my way to where the air is sweet!

For those who don't know, Larry Ellison runs the tech company Oracle, and is consistently in the list of top-five wealthiest people in the world.

They were even throbbing from root to tip, so to speak.

This is day #2 of this game for me. I am eager to find more weirdness in the stars.

The company has updated its FAQ page to say that private chats are no longer shielded from moderation.

Telegram has quietly removed language from its FAQ page that said private chats were protected from moderation requests. The change comes nearly two weeks after its CEO, Pavel Durov, was arrested in France for allegedly allowing “criminal activity to go on undeterred on the messaging app.”

Earlier today, Durov issued his first public statement since his arrest, promising to moderate content more on the platform, a noticeable change in tone after the company initially said he had “nothing to hide.”

“Telegram’s abrupt increase in user count to 950M caused growing pains that made it easier for criminals to abuse our platform,” he wrote in the statement shared on Thursday. “That’s why I made it my personal goal to ensure we significantly improve things in this regard. We’ve already started that process internally, and I will share more details on our progress with you very soon.”

Translation: Durov is completely compromised and will do whatever NATO tells him to do. Do not trust in the security of Telegram, which frankly was never that good to begin with. And do not trust anything else even remotely connected to the company or Durov personally.

Lower-income American households are running out of money at the end of every month, the discount retailer Dollar General said as it released dismal results that drove its shares down more than 30 per cent for their sharpest one-day drop on record.

When the American economy is too rough for Dollar General...

What happens to Doom when pi isn't 3.14159etc?

This is the lesser-known companion Playstation game to the classic anime Serial Experiments Lain. There's a downloadable version as well. The bottom of this page has the chart of keyboard controls.

Also, the gameplay is highly unconventional. It's not like a regular visual novel. It has a totally different style and purpose and interface than Disco Elysium, but it takes the same sort of patience and open mindedness.

Not only did some 1960s engineers at General Electric think that this might work, but they did actual tests involving actual hardware. NASA and the USAF declined to pursue the project, for fairly obvious reasons.

I thought I could deal without a notification LED on my new Oneplus phone, but it's honestly driving me a little nuts. I'm looking for a watch that looks like a nice watch (preferably analog), but also connects to my phone and has a notification LED. I remember seeing this sort of thing being more common 5 to 10-ish years ago but I'm not having much luck tracking one down now.

I literally do not need any other features. No fitness tracking, no GPS, no music, no speakerphone, no nothing. If it has them, fine, but I won't need or use them. All I want is a little LED that lets me know in a timely manner that a notification popped up on my phone, on a watch that looks like a classy watch, and with a companion app that isn't a subpar piece of shit.

I'm okay with having to charge it maybe every few weeks, but I will be damned if I get some stupid overpriced gadget that needs a daily charge and makes me look like a techbro.

I haven't found who first came up with this hybrid of NASA's official "meatball" and "worm" logos, but I think it looks pretty damn good.
