First Large Offshore US Wind Farm Delivers Power To Local Grid https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/24/03/15/2345230/first-large-offshore-us-wind-farm-delivers-power-to-local-grid?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon

All welsh words look like they were made up by indie bands who found out that their preferred band name was already taken so they just started removing vowels and adding Ys anywhere and everywhere to make it "different."

The Book Ban Battalion is increasing efforts to ban books in public libraries across the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 again.

This is ludicrous in my (book loving) opinion. If you do not like a book then simply do not read it & / or ban your kids from entering the library.

If I don't agree, I cannot use the TV that was ALREADY PURCHASED UNDER A DIFFERENT AGREEMENT!

And I just read some of it. I don't agree.
I want my money back. The TV we bought did not have this forced agreement.

That's it! I'm fucking done. My next "TV" is just going to be a monitor. I don't want anymore smarts in what's just being used as a display

Imagine really caring what gender someone is. The only reason you would really care is if you intend to treat one gender in a different way than the other.

"I don't know what to call them!"

Call them by their goddamn name.

It's worth pointing out that when christofascists claim they're fighting to put Christians in power, they're lying. Christians are already in power. 88% of Congress is Christian. 8 out of the 9 current Supreme Court Justices are some denomination of Christian. Every single president ever elected during your lifetime and mind has been a Christian. So no, they aren't fighting to elect Christianity to power.

They're fighting to elect fascists.

I got 99 problems but coming up with 454 million dollars in 30 days ain't one.

Same sex marriage has been legal. What exactly has happened? Where are the horror stories of cats and dogs living together and mass hysteria?

As people try to undo this popular change ... where is the evidence of harm or tumult? They don't even attempt to make such a case because it's so futile.

That alone should end the misguided quest to tear families apart.

I just looked up Voyager 1's current position for a talk and saw something wild: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/

The distance between Earth and Voyager 1 is actually *decreasing* right now (even though the distance between Voyager 1 and the Sun is increasing). A website bug?

Nope! Earth moves really fast around the Sun. Right now we're moving faster toward Voyager 1 than it's flying away from us

Earth orbits at 30 km/s around the Sun, Voyager is going "only" 17 km/s. I love orbital dynamics!

GitHub is struggling to contain an ongoing attack that’s flooding the site with millions of code repositories. These repositories contain obfuscated malware that steals passwords and cryptocurrency from developer devices, researchers said.

The malicious repositories are clones of legitimate ones, making them hard to distinguish to the casual eye. An unknown party has automated a process that forks legitimate repositories, meaning the source code is copied so developers can use it in an independent project that builds on the original one. The result is millions of forks with names identical to the original one that add a payload that’s wrapped under seven layers of obfuscation. To make matters worse, some people, unaware of the malice of these imitators, are forking the forks, which adds to the flood.

“Most of the forked repos are quickly removed by GitHub, which identifies the automation,” Matan Giladi and Gil David, researchers at security firm Apiiro, wrote Wednesday. “However, the automation detection seems to miss many repos, and the ones that were uploaded manually survive. Because the whole attack chain seems to be mostly automated on a large scale, the 1% that survive still amount to thousands of malicious repos.”

If anyone, especially the Nvidia CEO, tells you not to teach your kids maths, science, coding, art, or personal finance. Ignore him and do the opposite of what he is saying. Teach your kids the skills they need to thrive. Embrace education for all kids. By encouraging critical thinking and a love of learning, you give your kids powerful tools to shape their futures, which also helps build strong nations.
