Google can totally explain why Chromium browsers quietly tell only its websites about your CPU, GPU usage: theregister.com/2024/07/12/chr

"…info about the processor you're using, so that whatever service is being provided – such as video-conferencing with Google Meet – could, for instance, be optimized and tweaked so that it doesn't overly tax your computer"
Why not always do that though? 🤔 Me having extra computing power doesn't mean that Google can waste it on whatever they deem fit!

@selzero more "early teens" than "childhood" I suppose, but this one is the one I go back to the most, first playing on my Amiga 500 and having since bought it again on the Mega Drive and SNES: Flashback.

🇷🇺 The Russian authorities have begun slowing down YouTube in the country, a telecoms industry source has told Meduza.

The source said an earlier statement from Rostelecom warning YouTube may experience problems due to “technical problems” was inaccurate.

"Trump threatens to send Meta's Mark ‘Zuckerbucks’ to prison if reelected president":
theregister.com/2024/07/11/tru

Relax, Zuckerbucks, no this time — as much as I want to see you in prison, I want to avoid any "peace talks" with Russia more. I have to admit though, Trump is getting much better at campaign promises 😅

These are liner notes of an album released in 2009! Sounds prophetic, ain't it? 😱

Here is a link to the album itself: archive.org/details/ACP047_Koe

I can't say anything about this particular one as I'm yet to listen to it, but Acroplane is one of my favourite record labels of all time. I highly recommend Wahn and Red Box Recorder among other artists — you can find their albums on archive.org too, free to download!

Someone complained that the xkcd Dependency comic is unrealistic because it only shows one critical dependency you've never heard of.

However, it all makes sense once you realize it's actually a fractal:

And here’s #MorphOS running on the 800 Mhz iBook G4. Looks great at 1024x768. Sure the laptop is chunkier than a MacBook Air but on this OS it’s is pretty snappy*

* that is if you stay away from the modern web, which WayFarer, the builtin WebKit browser will render correctly but 800 Mhz is nothing these days)

Russian civil-military analyst Kirill Shamiev writes that three of his friends/acquaintances have attempted or carried out suicides in the last six months after struggling to find themselves in emigration. Much of the outside world’s information about Russia now comes from scholars and journalists living in exile under these psychological circumstances. It’s worth remembering that.
