starting a social media platform where you need to pass a reading comprehension test to post
this is how people who have never been to another major city usually talk about new york (without the self-awareness of this guy who understands that this is only amazing to him because he’s from orlando and none of this is necessarily DC-specific)

okay, I’m starting to become really confused about what living in Orlando, FL is like - this is the reaction I’d expect from someone who grew up in a MUCH smaller town

I'm going to Columbia to speak to some students, and apparently you need ID and a QR code to visit the campus. They locked it down after the Gaza protests and still haven't reopened it. It's the only Ivy League university that's closed to visitors.
the NY version would be a tweet like: “I was on the subway and this older man was reading a newspaper and there was this cute multiracial family. only in NY!! 🥹🥹”

We finally have an explanation for “Facebook is listening to me through my phone”. They’d never do that (and it’s not really possible).
Turns out literally everyone else was — and then selling that to ad data brokers.
WTF, $3000 Samsung TV has an always-on mic, automatic content recognition, geo tracking, network mapping, and ships your data to Samsung + 400 partners.
Bro Rooted a brand-new 2025 Samsung TV after noticing absurdly targeted ads.
Firmware was locked down, so zero-days it was.
Got a root shell.
then found: always-on voice service, ACR, geo, full telemetry pipeline, and four separate DRM systems.
This isn’t a bug, It’s the product bro.

the future and current poets, historians, writers, and storytellers in Gaza deserve access to books, comfort, and a place to gather their hopes and ideas.
please do not let this library shut down.

With great sorrow, Al-Anqa Library, which rose from the ashes and soared, is on the verge of closing due to exorbitant operating costs—rent, electricity, water, and internet. I have all hope in you to support the library so that it may continue.
Do not let the phoenix return to the ashes; do not let this place, which serves as a sanctuary for all poets, writers, and readers in Gaza, be closed.
Please help us keep going. Please donate and share the campaign.

PLUS: automatic content recognition, geo positioning, network mapping, a targeted ads service, 4 distinct drm services, user profile building and so much more juicy telemetry!
