When RFK Jr. lies that he's "not antivaccine" (www.respectfulinsolence.com) angielski

Earlier this month, CNN host Kasie Hunt interviewed antivax presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Although she did better than most journalists confronting him for his past antivax statements in that she played a clip of one of his antivax statements, she clearly hadn’t anticipated his response, which should have been...

Why do we dream? Maybe to ensure we can literally 'see' the world upon awakening (www.scientificamerican.com) angielski

Dreams have fascinated people for millennia, yet we struggle to understand their purpose. Some theories suggest dreams help us deal with emotions, solve problems or manage hidden desired s. Others postulate that they clean up brain waste, make memories stronger or deduce the meaning of random brain activity. A more recent theory...

'Dune' Foresaw—and Influenced—Half a Century of Global Conflict (www.wired.com) angielski

“If you’d said in the wake of World War II that the United States would lose a war to guerrillas who didn’t have an air force or navy or even really heavy weapons, people would have just thought that you were insane,” says Major General Mick Ryan, commander of the Australian Defence College and author of the forthcoming...

The Middle East is getting older (open.substack.com) angielski

I noticed something interesting about the Israel-Gaza war that seems to have generally been overlooked: The war hasn’t shown much sign of spreading throughout the Middle East. Yemen’s Houthis (one of Iran’s proxy militias) launched a few missiles in the general direction of Israel and bellowed a declaration of war, but no...

This Game Was Lost For 20 Years (www.youtube.com) angielski

In 1999, an experimental Japanese artist released a horror point and click adventure game that was completely different from its contemporaries. Due to external forces beyond his control, the game was left in utter obscurity and was considered to be lost for many years. A decade later, forum users across the internet sought to...

Thread by @P_Kallioniemi on Elon Musk political influences (threadreaderapp.com) angielski

In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce a South African-American(!) businessman and social media figure, Elon Musk (@elonmusk). He's best-known for being the wealthiest man in the world, running Tesla Inc., SpaceX & Twitter, and for parroting Kremlin's propaganda narratives.

Meta’s social networks consider charging €13 a month on mobile [...]. Meta is also weighing a €17 charge to use Instagram and Facebook without adverts on desktop, according to sources close to the discussions. Accessing both apps on smartphones would cost about €19 a month.

The definitive guide to BMI, and how much you should really pay attention to it (inews.co.uk) angielski

The fact that these aren’t perfect correlations leaves plenty of room for outliers: body-builders with huge amounts of muscle who have a high BMI, despite very low body fat, say, or people with relatively low overall BMIs but a high proportion of fat. And it means that, at least in some studies, taking into account waist...

Google is enabling Chrome real-time phishing protection for everyone (www.bleepingcomputer.com) angielski

Google announced today that it is deprecating the standard Google Chrome Safe Browsing feature and moving everyone to its Enhanced Safe Browsing feature in the coming weeks, bringing real-time phishing protection to all users while browsing the web.

Hey Elon: the ADL convincing advertisers to run away from your site is part of the free speech you pretend to support (www.techdirt.com) angielski

[...] that’s not how any of this works. At all. If the ADL is convincing advertisers not to advertise on exTwitter, that’s their free speech in the marketplace of ideas. And if that speech caused advertisers to bail, that means that Elon is losing in the marketplace of ideas. If you actually believe in free speech, you...

Elon Musk paid for our attention, but the price to keep it is getting higher (www.theverge.com) angielski

Musk’s public persona is an important marketing tool. Consider his appearance on Saturday Night Live: Tesla didn’t have to run advertisements because Musk is so closely associated with the brand that the entire episode functions as a car commercial. Meanwhile, every other EV maker bought ad time. You can think of Musk as the...

ProMED issues ultimatum to striking moderators, as questions about site’s future persist (www.statnews.com) angielski

The moderators, subject matter experts who are paid a nominal stipend for curating and contextualizing the numerous infectious diseases reports ProMED posts to its website and pumps out to its mailing list daily, have been on strike since early August....

Twitter's 'X' name change has led to a huge decrease in App Store downloads (mashable.com) angielski

"My hypothesis is that, while the terminally-online are entirely aware of Twitter's rebrand to X, most consumers aren't," Seufert wrote in a post that accompanied his findings, "and their searches for 'Twitter' on platform stores surface ads and genuine search results that are in no way redolent of Twitter."

Internet Archive przegrało proces z wydawcami w sprawie „kontrolowanego wypożyczania” e-booków (swiatczytnikow.pl)

W skrócie – chodzi o „kontrolowane wypożyczanie” e-booków przez serwis Internet Archive. Założenie jest takie, że jeśli w bibliotece mamy egzemplarz papierowy, można zamiast niego wypożyczać wersję cyfrową – tyle sztuk, ile mamy egzemplarzy....

Thousands of scientists are cutting back on Twitter, seeding angst and uncertainty (www.nature.com) angielski

To get a better sense of how researchers are currently interacting with the site formerly known as Twitter, Nature reached out to more than 170,000 scientists who were, or still are, users; nearly 9,200 responded. More than half reported that they have reduced the time they spend on the platform in the past six months and just...

YouTube’s anti-ad blocking test gets even pushier with a new timer (www.androidpolice.com) angielski

One YouTube user has spotted this new timer in the top right corner of the popup, with the individual later sharing the screenshot on Reddit. Another user in the comments reports seeing this popup as well, so it could appear to more customers in the days ahead. While the duration of this timer isn't revealed, we expect it to be...

The rise of 'scam games' and 'keyword bingo' firms flooding Switch eShop (www.nintendolife.com) angielski

It's difficult now to remember a time when the Switch eShop wasn't rammed with low-cost, low-quality games making it laborious to find the great new releases amongst all the dross. What began as an immaculately clean, functional store back in 2017 quickly ballooned and before long Nintendo was inundated with software submissions...

Katastrofa do przewidzenia, czyli jak zwijał się Fest Festival (krytykapolityczna.pl)

Potrzebujemy zrównoważonej sceny muzycznej. Skupionej na lokalnych zjawiskach, wstrzymującej się od eksploatacji środowiska w imię zysku, przystępnej cenowo. Takie festiwale to nie tylko ulga dla planety, ale także ochrona przed katastrofami o wielkiej skali, które ciągną za sobą kolejne bankructwa.
