Escape From New Hampshire Edition
Top Story
- Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference is on now. Here are the biggest announcements. (The Verge)
* AI bullshit
* A password app
* Bringing the UI up to parity with Android 4 from 2011
Tech News
- Perl 5.40.0 is out. (Perldoc)
Yay.
- The New York Times' source code was stolen using an exposed GitHub token. (Bleeping Computer)
Yay.
- The word "bot" is increasingly used as an insult by deranged leftists on social media. (New Scientist) (archive site)
I've never been sure whether it's just being adopted as a slur or if the people using it are so stupid that they think a Perl script just argued them into the ground.
- Department of Rent Seeking: ISPs are asking the FCC to tax Big Tech - no, the other Big Tech, not them - and give the money to ISPs to fund their private islands in the Caribbean. (Ars Technica)
This is so blatant you almost have to admire the artistry.
Anime
Mushoku Tensei continues to be an amazing adaptation of a fairly decent story. Or in the case of episode seven of season two, an amazing adaptation of an incredibly stupid story.
Well, we can't have Frieren and Apothecary Diaries every season.
I don't know why, but we can't.
Update: Also the commenters on Crunchy love to refer to this as "the grandfather of isekai" because the novel series started in.... 2012. Get off my lawn.

Update 2: After a couple of dumb episodes, it redeems itself.

Modern Apple will invent cutting-edge design after exhausting all other alternatives. And I trust their password app to be as safe, reliable, and durable as their cloud. Which only refuses to sync my data occasionally, and hasn't scrambled the music metadata on my phone in weeks.

"I've never been sure whether it's just being adopted as a slur or if the people using it are so stupid that they think a Perl script just argued them into the ground."
In this context, it loosely means "you're a member of a Russian disinformation troll farm so your opinion is meaningless and you probably think Hunter's laptop is real", more or less.

It's more like they are saying, "I'm tired of being called out as a characterless NPC, so this is my way of saying 'I know you are but what am I?'"
