music-map.com is a wonderful music discovery tool I still use from time to time. Not just listing similarity but also weighted similarity. Its a fun tool!

wow - so he acquired all the bookmarking sites and now he's gone too. I did actually pay for it for a few years but realised I never used it more than a couple times a year.

Even the qualification "in the last 10,000" years gives the doubters something else to dismiss global warming.

The Cricut maker 3 is USB or Bluetooth. The cricut software is only just usable IMO. Thankfully designs can be done in illustrator and imported as DXF if you're very careful about the workflow.

Surely you'd just turn it off when you pleased? A real life person doing this doesn't just disappear.

Doesn’t iOS or android tell you when an AirTag is in the vicinity and following you?

Love that phrase: ‘profitable confusion’. Basically the business model of commodity box shifters

I take tecleandor's comment to mean "metaphorically" compressing rather than actually doing it.

Chilling. It seems to be about monitoring for criticism of said government. Maybe the government should be working out how to fund education better instead of covering up its incompetences.

Yes even in the West Country tasers are routinely carried and in cities firearms are very visibly carried. Seems like quite a change in the last ten/fifteen years.
