ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) has a great series called "Black Swans" and the first episode is all about the overpopulation predictions that never panned out. Well worth a watch.

Can you watch them anonymously, though, the way you could with broadcast TV? Or do you need an Amazon account?

Oh noes.... I never watched the Emmy Awards on TV, and now I can't watch it because I don't have an Amazon account. Whatever shall I do???

Students getting upset a comedians is a tempest in a teacup. I perform comedy pretty regularly and have never felt constrained in what material I can use.

The real issue is censorship by the state. When governments and university administrators impose academic censorship, that's a much larger problem and is a relatively new problem. PEN America reports that More than half of U.S. college and university students now study in a state with at least one law or policy restricting what can be taught or how campuses can operate..

This level of state intrusion into academic freedom is far more damaging that a bunch of students getting angry at comedians.

It's a message from Amazon: "Yeah, we are too big to be stopped and we just do occasional enshittification to remind you who's boss. So tough luck, suckers!!!!"

Trump is ignoring an order from the Supreme Court, not some lower court.

Flock being misused or abused; a botched execution in Tennessee; Trump continuing to block CNN despite a court order... you might almost think there's something wrong with the American legal system.

I would not. But then again, I'm old-school and retired, so I get to develop the way I want, not the way some corporate bean-counter wants.

Yep. The announcement had the smell of "vibe-coded" and the GitHub repo confirms it.

No thanks.

The Kobo remote has a wrist strap you can use, so you won't lose it.

And it takes a standard AAA battery, so you can have one on standby if it's really important. I use rechargeable AAA batteries to keep the cost down.

I have a Kobo Clara too and I love it, despite the lack of physical buttons. However, I finally caved and bought the remote and I'm surprised by how much it improves the experience. I stand the Kobo up and can read while I eat breakfast or supper and not worry about getting food on the e-reader.

I want nothing to do with Amazon, so a Kindle for me is out of the question.

So the answer is: If you want to sell a product that contains fresh peeled bananas, don't expose them to oxygen. Fill the packaging with nitrogen, as is done for potato chips to slow down the oil from going rancid.

They could vacuum-pack the product or fill it the package with nitrogen. No oxygen = no browning.

They already fill potato chip bags with nitrogen to stop the oil from going rancid.

I'm not seeing that. Lots of rounded GUI elements, but the viewport (meaning where the actual web content is displayed) is still a rectangle for me.

I kind of like the new look, but it's /. tradition to shit all over Firefox, so meh.

When I buy bananas, I don't peel them until I'm ready to eat them. And when I do peel a banana, I eat it in one sitting.

If they're a little bit brown, it's no big deal... they're still fine for eating. And if they're very brown and mushy, they're still usable for making banana bread. I don't understand the phobia against a little bit of browning.
