"The repeatedly applause for #Netanyahu from the right as he seeks to justify with lies & distortions the brutality in Gaza is nauseating. It as if they're cheering for genocide -slaughter of children -starvation of 100s of 1000s. It's repugnant, humanity at its worst."

"History will judge us poorly for welcoming Netanyahu to Congress with open arms as he commits war crimes in Gaza."

I've wondered how long it would be before someone combined wide-angle cameras with VR to see the world from different perspectives! This is a pretty slick implementation.
Can I get one in Jackalope form, please?
My biggest complaint about the design is neck strain. All the computer hardware is cantilevered off the wearer's face. Ugh! Put that in a backpack or something, or at least mount it to the back of the head for counterbalance.

Also I suspect that, unlike when Google et al started crawling the web, most sites just aren't linked to, or link to, other sites. We used to get around the whole web with links, which is how the web was designed, and now… no links. All the big sites rely on search because they wouldn't be caught dead actually *linking* to other sites - theirs is *obviously* the only site anyone would want to ever go to, after all. Why should they give their traffic to some other, undeserving site? 🙄
last boost:An undertold story is the monopoly on search engine *scrapers*. Thanks to DDOS hardcoding, it's essentially impossible to create a new webcrawler. All there is is google, bing, and one or two (forget exactly) chinese bots. It is literally not possible to create a new search engine because it's not possible to scrape the web.

I don't believe in gatekeeping knowledge, especially not knowledge that forms part of our intangible cultural heritage.
Drystone built some of the very first structures on our planet. As useful now as it was then.

idea: what if we put a self driving car that can fit multiple people on some sort of track so that we wouldn't need to cool down a datacenter with potable drinking water during a climate crisis to automatically drive the single person vehicle
i bet nobody has thought of this before

A new drug described as “the closest we have ever been to an HIV vaccine” could be sold for $40 a year and still make 30% profit, but is currently being sold by pharma companies for $42,250. Absolutely criminal.
Generic version of a drug already on the market, which can suppress and prevent HIV, would still yield 30% profit if the current price was slashed, researchers sayKat Lay (The Guardian)
Chris Webster sums up how many of us think about those poor ignored Brexiters:
'Those who voted leave because they wanted to leave the EU have no reason to feel ignored because they got what they wanted. The UK has left the EU, and both main parties refuse to admit or address the damage done'!
And, if you voted Leave to achieve something else which hasn't come to pass, well you voted for the wrong thing, didn't you.
