Fly the black flag, seadogs, the age of digital piracy returns.
As the film industry moves away from physical media, we are going to end up with the shittiest possible encodings of films and shows because they don't want to spend more than the bare minimum on streaming.

Oh so now he's issuing executive orders to give out financial support/student loan deferment and threatening to revoke them if he isn't re-elected?
Gee, that sure doesn't sound good.

covid tests are bad
A friend wrote this longer, less technical explanation of what it means to have a high false negative rate: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/07/22/opinion/what-does-negative-coronavirus-test-really-reveal/
- If you have COVID symptoms, assume you have COVID.
- Testing when you don't have symptoms is pointless. Don't use a prophylactic test to shorten the isolation period before you visit vulnerable relatives or w/e.
- Don't tell your wedding guests to get COVID tests. Cancel your fucking wedding jfc what is wrong with you.

covid tests are bad
Okay so I just looked up the actual false negative rate for COVID tests and omfg, I knew it was bad, but I didn't know it was THAT BAD.
67% of tests on day 4 of illness (which is on average the day before people start getting symptoms, when they are deffo super contagious) are false negatives. 𝟞𝟟％. TWO THIRDS.
It drops to 20% during the first few days after people develop symptoms. That's still bad.
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic was made by Arkane Studios?

Funny that the day PSO2 finally came to Steam is the same day that the game's story officially concluded in Japan.

Yesterday, I finally pushed my current source code implementing the Exposure Notification API to the @microg git repository.
This will allow using apps that use the Google/Apple framework for COVID-19 contact tracing on Android devices without the Google tracking it usually involves.
The current code is already functional, but still needs some improvements before it's ready for general public, but I am certain it's going to make it in the next @microg release.

Our CEO just referred to SaaS as "Software as a hostage" and I think that's pretty spot on.
if you prominently feature TechRaptor's opinion of your game in order to promote it, you are telling me not to buy your game because you implicitly support TechRaptor's reporting over the last 6 years

You hear plenty of stories about friendly, helpful landlords, but are those landlords ever friendly enough to just *give* you the property? Like, as a gift? Because they've realized just how wicked a thing it is to ask 2/3rds of a poor family's income for a decade or more for no other reason than because they can?

uspol, economics, a bit alarmist
So with the GDP collapse, the end of the eviction moratorium, end of emergency unemployment benefits, and end of student loan forebearance on the horizon,
holy shit this is going to be catastrophic if the federal government doesn't do anything. The empire landlords are going to default en masse while mass homelessness starts.
