  • Man, you guys really get upset and uncivil just because somebody said they don’t like tattoos

    No, the downvotes are because you said

    I’m honestly ok with this

    It’s fine to not like tattoos. Other people in this thread have also said that they also don’t like tattoos, but they’re not being downvoted. You’re the one arguing in bad faith here.

    There’s always been healthy discussion online about people not liking tattoos, regretting a particular one, discussing the costs of removal, and discouraging others. There’s no conspiracy pushing for one side over the other. What people do agree on is that detention based on the presence of tattoos alone, is wrong.



  • They’re disabling features

    Synology, maker of network-attached storage (NAS) devices, will seemingly remove advanced features from its Plus devices that are not using hard drives provided by, or certified by, Synology itself, starting with its 2025 lineup.

    What you might lose from using non-Synology-approved hard drives could include pool creation and support for any issues. De-duplication, lifespan analysis, and automatic HDD firmware updates could also disappear on non-approved drives, Synology’s press release suggests.
















  • Also these two bits

    The first orbital rocket launched from continental Europe crashed seconds after blast-off Sunday, dealing a blow to the continent’s bid to build a new space economy.

    “Every second we fly is good, because we collect data and experience. Thirty seconds would already be a great success,” said Daniel Metzler, the company’s co-founder and chief executive, ahead of the launch.

    “We do not expect to reach orbit with this test. In fact, no company has yet managed to put its first orbital launch vehicle into orbit.”

    All of these things can be true

    • the orbital vehicle was empty
    • they expected a crash, but it could have done better

    However it looks like the headline and description were intentionally phrased like that to be clickbait?
