that's right. I am glad I got rid of my kindle. Sure it might useful in that you don't need to have any physical books but if that means not really owning the books you bought then I'd rather have physical books.
The image is a meme consisting of three photographs arranged in a grid format. The top section of the image contains text that reads: "The little smile you give to old people when you walk past them to prove you're not a chav or anything." The first photograph on the left shows a young boy with a subtle smile, wearing a white shirt and a dark tie, suggesting a formal setting. The second photograph in the top right features a woman with blonde hair, wearing a black top, looking over her shoulder with a similar subtle smile. The third photograph on the right shows a man with short blonde hair, wearing a gray shirt, also with a subtle smile. The background in all three photographs is plain, focusing attention on the subjects' expressions.

The image is a meme consisting of three photographs arranged in a grid format. The top section of the image contains text that reads: "The little smile you give to old people when you walk past them to prove you're not a chav or anything." The first photograph on the left shows a young boy with short brown hair, wearing a white shirt and a dark tie, giving a subtle smile. The second photograph in the top right shows a woman with blonde hair tied back, wearing a black top, looking over her shoulder with a similar subtle smile. The third photograph on the right shows a man with short blonde hair, wearing a gray shirt, also giving a subtle smile. The background of each photograph is plain, with the first and third images featuring a neutral-colored wall, and the second image showing a door and a wall. The overall theme of the meme is to humorously depict the awkward, self-conscious smile people might give to older individuals to avoid being perceived as "chav" or lower-class.

The image is a text-based scenario set in a cafe during a morning shift. It begins with a description of the scene: "I am working a morning shift at a cafe. We are serving breakfast. A little boy and his mother enter the cafe." The text then presents a dialogue: "Me: 'So, what will it be?'" followed by the child's response, "Child: 'I WISH TO DEVOUR THE UNBORN.'" This statement causes a sudden silence, and the mother looks embarrassed. The mother then says, "Mother: 'Eggs... he would like some eggs...'" The text is presented in a simple, black font on a white background, with the dialogue in a larger font size to emphasize the child's statement.

Perhaps it's just me, but I do find it amusing that the GNU Readline 8.3 announcement, in July 2025, gives two FTP URLs as the primary way to obtain the software. I don't remember when I last fired up an FTP client, and my web browser has long since forgotten how to do it too.
my web host won't let me ssh in unless I pay lots more money, which is how I re-learned that both sides have to agree on BINARY mode and all clients default to ASCII
I recall a text adventure puzzle where an in-game terminal with an ftp client let you teleport objects. If left in ASCII mode, a transporter-accident "worthless pile of protoplasm" resulted.

The video features a small, cream-colored kitten lying on its back on a gray surface, appearing relaxed with its eyes closed. A person's hands enter the frame, holding a piece of seaweed. The hands carefully place the seaweed around the kitten's body, wrapping it snugly. The kitten remains still and undisturbed throughout the process. The hands then use two chopsticks to gently lift the seaweed, creating the illusion that the kitten is being served as sushi. The kitten continues to lie peacefully, seemingly unaware of the playful setup. The video concludes with the kitten still wrapped in the seaweed, with the chopsticks positioned above it, enhancing the whimsical sushi presentation.

Bloomberg: The Texas Floods Were Made Worse by Climate Denialism
Elected officials must be held accountable, now and in the future, for the lives lost in disasters brought on by increasingly extreme weather.
By Michael R. Bloomberg
"...The tragic news out of central Texas has been heartbreaking, but it’s also been maddening — because so many lives could have been saved if elected officials had done their jobs. They owe the families who lost loved ones — the death toll from the Fourth of July floods is now at more than 100 — more than thoughts and prayers. They owe them a sincere commitment to righting their deadly wrong, by tackling the problem they’ve turned their backs on for too long: climate change...."

The image features a woman holding a glass of beer against a blue background. She is wearing a black dress with thin straps and a bracelet on her wrist. The text on the image reads "Alcohol! Because Sometimes the Truth Needs a Laxative." The woman is depicted in a vintage style, with her hair styled in an updo and wearing dangling earrings. The glass of beer is held in her right hand, and the beer appears to be a light-colored lager with a frothy head. The overall tone of the image is humorous, with the text suggesting a playful connection between alcohol and the idea of revealing the truth.

My friend was telling me of this, thinking since its crypto related it must be really good. I said this has been around for many years and there are much better solutions than any that Jack is going to come up with to scam us. Have you guys heard of this?
I have to laugh at these tech-bros that actually know nothing, thinking they are great genius inventors. Reminds me of fElon.

The image is a meme with two parts. The top part contains text that reads, "Ordered this badge for my girlfriend, which was made from my proposal photo to her. Didn't quite go as expected..." The bottom part of the image is divided into two sections. On the left, there is a photograph of a man kneeling on one knee, proposing to a woman who is standing and holding a jacket. The man is wearing a gray shirt, and the woman is wearing a pink and white striped shirt and blue jeans. On the right, there is a badge with a silhouette of the same proposal scene. The badge shows a man kneeling and a woman standing, but the woman's silhouette is incomplete, with a noticeable gap where her head should be. The badge is gold-colored with a black background.

A US appeals court blocks FTC's "click-to-cancel" rule, which was set to take effect on July 14, saying it failed to conduct a preliminary cost-benefit analysis (Jody Godoy/Reuters)
The image is a meme with two parts. The top part contains text that reads, "Ordered this badge for my girlfriend, which was made from my proposal photo to her. Didn't quite go as expected..." Below the text, there are two images side by side. The left image shows a man kneeling on one knee, holding a woman's hand, proposing to her. The woman is standing, wearing a pink and white striped shirt and blue jeans, holding a jacket. The background appears to be an outdoor setting with a building and some greenery. The right image shows a badge with a silhouette of the proposal scene. The badge has a gold-colored figure of the man and woman, with the man kneeling and the woman standing. The silhouette is somewhat abstract and lacks detail, which is the source of the humor in the meme.

“For an institution like the Modern to be caught in this situation, and then everybody goes silent? Everybody. You can’t talk to anyone. And I sort of wonder if me opening my big mouth puts me at risk of reaction. Nobody wants to say anything to possibly get themselves in any trouble.” texasobserver.org/fort-worth-s…
The image features a woman with shoulder-length, reddish-brown hair, standing outdoors with a backdrop of green foliage. She is wearing a historical-style dress with a light-colored blouse and a brown corset-like bodice with a lace-up front. The blouse has a green trim around the neckline and sleeves, and the corset has a quilted pattern with metal eyelets and black laces. The woman's expression is neutral, and she is looking directly at the camera. The lighting suggests it is daytime, and the overall color palette includes earthy tones.

Sta arrivando la sesta puntata di @123podcast ! Da una parte ci sto prendendo gusto, dall'altra la cosa mi sta prendendo la mano e mi sa che stavolta si sfora oltre la mezz'ora, cosa impensabile se vuoi fare soldi con un podcast a colpi di contenuti brevi e virali. Ma siccome campo già del mio stipendio, posso concedermi il lusso moderno della logorrea.
L'immagine mostra una finestra di un software di editing audio, probabilmente Reaper, con una sequenza di tracce audio. La barra degli strumenti in alto contiene vari pulsanti e opzioni per la gestione del progetto, come "File", "Seleziona", "Vista", "Trasporto", "Genera", "Effetti", "Analisi", "Strumenti" e "Aiuto". La barra di spostamento in alto centrale mostra il tempo in minuti e secondi, con un cursore che indica la posizione attuale.
Le tracce audio sono visualizzate in una griglia orizzontale, con ogni traccia rappresentata da una linea blu che mostra la forma d'onda del suono. Alcune tracce sono selezionate, evidenziate in grigio scuro, mentre altre sono in grigio chiaro. Le tracce sono etichettate con nomi come "07 Sequenza", "05 Sequenza", "14 VV Commu. - Luz ademira" e "14 VV Commu. - Recordare". Le tracce "Audio 1" e "Audio 1.2" sono visibili in basso, con forme d'onda più dettagliate.
A sinistra, un pannello di controllo mostra opzioni per "Muta" e "Solo", con pulsanti per "L" (sinistra) e "R" (destra). Sotto, un pannello di effetti consente di applicare effetti audio alle tracce selezionate. La finestra è ben organizzata e offre una vista chiara delle tracce audio e delle opzioni di editing.

The image is a four-panel comic strip featuring a fish with a castle in a fishbowl. In the first panel, the fish says, "It's getting cloudy in here." The second panel shows the fish outside the fishbowl, looking worried and saying, "Which means, soon I'll be abducted by that thing from above." The third panel depicts the fish in a new fishbowl with a slightly different castle, saying, "Eventually, it puts me in another tank. It will look like my tank, but it won't be my tank. Things will be off... plants moved... rocks disheveled... castle slightly askew..." The final panel shows the fish in the new tank, looking surprised and saying, "I've lost count of how many times I've traveled the multiverse." The background is a simple green, and the fishbowl is transparent, allowing the viewer to see the fish and the castle inside.

The image is a four-panel comic strip featuring a goldfish with a castle in a fishbowl. In the first panel, the goldfish says, "It's getting cloudy in here." The second panel shows the goldfish outside the fishbowl, looking worried and saying, "Which means, soon I'll be abducted by that thing from above." In the third panel, the goldfish is back in the fishbowl, looking at the castle and saying, "Eventually, it puts me in another tank. It will look like my tank, but it won't be my tank. Things will be off... plants moved... rocks disheveled... castle slightly askew..." The final panel shows the goldfish on top of the castle, looking around and saying, "I've lost count of how many times I've traveled the multiverse." The background is a simple green wall, and the fishbowl is clear with a sandy bottom and some green plants.
