Any platform that supports free speech should have a content warning system pretty much like the one Mastodon offers. I bet Musk won’t implement it, though, because his snowflake fans would find this kind of free speech upsetting (and he’s afraid of them).  Mute People For a Little While Sometimes a person you enjoy following […]

The holiday season is here, and you better get your gifts sent off — today! But for the gift you are taking to family and friends — here are a couple of ways you can package your gifts. I’m hoping this will make it so you can present your loved one with a nicely packaged […]

achinthamb/Shutterstock How’s your year been? more Technically Incorrect Crazy? Confusing? Uplifting after the pandemic was finally deemed to have receded? Miserable because you quiet-quit and then got quiet-fired? For tech companies, it’s all seemed relatively sobering. They began to realize their glory might be finite. Their employees began to realize their jobs might be finite […]

Gorgeous, no? (A screenshot from United’s launch video) Chris Matyszczyk/screenshot I haven’t felt like this for a long, long time. more Technically Incorrect About United Airlines, that is. I woke up on Tuesday to hear the airline is buying a lot of Boeing planes. Up to 200 Boeing 787 Dreamliners and 100 more 737 Max […]

I don’t feel cool riding an electric scooter. I love these things, but standing bolt upright like a meerkat as you cruise across town just doesn’t look great.

Scooters are electric vehicles, so there are a few things you should and shouldn’t do if you get one. First, if you’ve never ridden an electric scooter and are nervous about shelling out for one, try a rideshare service. Companies like Lime, Lyft, and Bird let you grab an escooter for not a lot of […]

“There are some configurations of the future that don’t correspond to anything in the past,” Cotler said. “There’s nothing in the past that would evolve into them.” Giddings has proposed a similar principle for ruling out paradoxical states he encountered while studying black holes last year. He calls it “history matters,” and it holds that […]

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was founded in 1988 after scientists had spent decades raising the alarm about global warming. Thirty-five years later, there is effectively zero binding international policy to address climate change. In the United States, the largest historical emitter of greenhouse gasses and second-largest polluter today, there have been repeated legislative […]
