Another Atlantic article that appears to hit.

The TLDR is if you seek higher cognition and use AI as a tool alongside that practice you’ll be fine. If you lean on AI to avoid cognition then you’ll backslide into the primordial goo as a person.

Does it get too dry? Go stale?

Is there something that makes dried pasta unable to rehydrate?

Hello everyone! Daniel here.

Today, I'm excited to announce that Linkwarden is getting one of its largest mobile updates so far, along with a web app that’s much lighter to run.

For those who are new here, Linkwarden is a tool for collecting, organizing, reading, and preserving webpages, articles, and documents in one place. Linkwarden is available as a Cloud offering, or you can self-host it on your own server.

Let's get into it.

What's new on mobile:

🖍️ Highlight and annotate

You can now highlight text in the reader view, pick from four colors, and attach a note to any highlight.

There's also a new Notes & Highlights view per article which lets you skim what you've marked and jump to it in the text.

📥 True offline mode

Previously, the app only saved preserved formats for links you had already opened. Now, you can turn on Save for offline access in the settings, and the app will download every preserved format in the background as you browse.

🪪 Link details sheet

Long-press any link to open Link Details, which shows all the information about a link in one sheet, similar to the web app.

📖 Customizable reader view

Adjust font, text size, line height, and background color as you read.

What's new on the web:

🧠 Much lower memory usage

Linkwarden 2.15 roughly halves idle memory usage, from around 700 MB down to about 350 MB. We explained this in more detail on our blog.

🐳 A much smaller Docker image

The Docker image has also been cut in half, dropping from roughly 3.0 GB to 1.5 GB.

🔑 Generic OIDC provider

Self-hosters can now connect any OpenID Connect identity provider. Check it out in the docs!

🔒 Increased security

A good chunk of this release went into security hardening. We strongly recommend updating to 2.15.

There's more...

As always, there's a long tail of smaller improvements across the web and the mobile app.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden/compare/v2.14.1...v2.15.0

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone using Linkwarden, reporting bugs, suggesting improvements, contributing to the project, responsibly disclosing security issues, and supporting its development. Your contributions genuinely shape every release.

If you'd like to try Linkwarden without dealing with server setup and maintenance, our Cloud offering is the easiest way to get started.

We hope you enjoy the latest Linkwarden updates!

Say I wanted an app , could I just ask AI to write me the software and voila now I have the app for free.

Pauline Hanson’s highly publicised meetings with controversial far-right figures in the UK will drive international eyeballs to her content and continue building the global brand – and that’s by design, far-right experts say...

“A big part of One Nation’s success is that the media consistently, since 1996, have provided her [Hanson] and her party with disproportionate media coverage on platforms relative to their electoral footprint.

“[Now they’re] attaining publicity, but also creating their own content so they’re able to connect with supporters and disseminate their message without the interference or mediation of journalists.”

Jordan McSwiney, an expert in far-right politics at the University of Canberra, said he would have once urged media not to cover One Nation’s stunts but with her rise in popularity, “the horse has bolted”.

McSwiney said the best approach politicians and mainstream media could take was to focus on explaining who these figures are behind the scenes.

I have a ground floor brick apartment so I'm pretty well insulated from the summer heat for most of the day. If I can get the apartment cold enough at night by running fans (ventilation), I can often make it through the day without turning on the A/C.

That small room is the best case scenario because it has the box fan blowing in directly opposite the door which has a fan at it to pull the air out of that room.

The closest I get to the coldest night temperature is 4 degrees farenheit in that room. I'm guessing the walls are retaining some heat.

Is 4 degrees a respectable delta for $20 Lasko box fans or could I do better?

I'm cross ventilating as much as I can, but I have a weirdly shaped, weirdly windowed apartment and think I need about 3 more fans to circulate the air completely, but I don't think I do better than what I have for that one room.

The Big Bill Haywood segment is from 26:33 to 33:34

Honestly, I have... reservations about the portrayal lol

Also, Idaho doesn't exist. 🧐🧐

Bahaa Abu Al-Ajeen, 32, set out with his 3-year-old son Rayan to check on their family home east of Deir al-Balah.

After inspecting the house and leaving the area, Bahaa said he was shocked to see Israeli soldiers emerging from a nearby building. “My son was in my arms and crying intensely from fear,” he recalled.

According to his account, he decided to move away from the soldiers in an attempt to calm Rayan and walked approximately 500 meters from the area. Bahaa said that after he had distanced himself, the soldiers began shouting at him to stop. He stated that two shots were fired in his direction but did not hit either him or his son, prompting him to stop out of fear for their lives.

“After I stopped, one of the soldiers knelt down and fired directly at my son,” Bahaa said. “The bullet entered the back of Rayan’s head and exited through his left eye. Moments later, another bullet struck my left leg. When I saw them kill my son, I screamed and asked them, ‘He is a child. Why did you kill him?’”

Bahaa said he attempted to call an ambulance using his mobile phone, but the soldiers confiscated it and prevented him from seeking medical assistance. According to Bahaa’s testimony, Rayan bled for approximately seven minutes before dying from his injuries. He said he pleaded with the soldiers to save his son, but they refused.

It's safe to say, don't buy cameras from shady places.

"Iowa sued Temu and its Chinese parent company on Wednesday, claiming the online retailer violates Iowans privacy rights and exposes them to spying by the Chinese government."
