The explosion was the better ending.

On Monday, a developer using the popular AI-powered code editor Cursor noticed something strange: Switching between machines instantly logged them out, breaking a common workflow for programmers who use multiple devices. When the user contacted Cursor support, an agent named "Sam" told them it was expected behavior under a new policy. But no such policy existed, and Sam was a bot. The AI model made the policy up, sparking a wave of complaints and cancellation threats documented on Hacker News and Reddit.

To make it more complete. Netanyahu needs Hamas to be seen as the actual government of the Palestenians, instead of the Palestinian Authority to make it that much easier to reject the two state solution. Hamas needs to trigger Israel into being brutal so that they can keep their power and reject a two state solution.

Send the bill to Alberta, Canada. In this province, Danielle Smith, leader of the government say "We need to extract a lot more oil. Oil is our future".

Also, send the bill to Germany.

The Germans have a sexual relationship with cars. When scientists proposed reducing speed on highways to reduce carbon emission, many Germans were completely outraged

If some regions of the world want to absolute assholes, they need to pay the price.

To my fellow brothers and sisters, if you're looking for a VPN then the three listed on https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/ are pretty good services.

Mullvad would be my top choice. They'll let you sign up solely with an account number and cash.

Proton is 2nd or 3rd best. I still recommend them because of their Free tier. Disclaimer: Their CEO is a libertarian weirdo who is ok with Trump because Trump is also big on "personal privacy". However the company is controlled by a board of directors who are less insane.

III.

In the last days I spent a disproportionate amount deleting old accounts I found in my password manager, and mostly because so many companies - despite the GDPR - have rudimentary, manually when not completely nonexistent processes to delete your data.

In this post I describe my process going through about 100 old accounts and trying to delete them all, including a top 10 for the weirdest, funniest or most interesting cases I encountered while doing so.

Mine has a few that I can think of but I'm definitely forgetting some:

• Snig: a secret stash. Usually of cash but it could be chocolate or whatever. Pretty sure this one is unique but I'd love to hear otherwise.
• Sero: (seero) seriously. This one isn't unique.
• James floody (flew-dy) ah-doody amen: Weird chant in the hope that something comes true.
• edit: pinchies: little bit of food before it's ready. Usually meat but as I'm cooking pancakes I just gave some pinchies and it reminded me of this thread

LONDON (AP) — The European Medicines Agency has recommended authorizing a twice-yearly injectable drug aimed at preventing HIV, which scientists say could help end the virus’ transmission.

In a statement on Friday, the EU drug regulator said its evaluations of lenacapavir, sold as Yeytuo in Europe by Gilead Sciences, showed the drug is “highly effective” and “considered to be of major public health interest.” Once the regulator’s guidance is accepted by the European Commission, the authorization is valid in all 27 EU member countries as well as Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein.

Last year, studies suggested that lenacapavir, already used to treat people with HIV, was nearly 100% effective in stopping transmission in both women and men.

Winnie Byanyima, executive director of the U.N. AIDS agency, has said the drug “could change the trajectory of the HIV epidemic” if it is made available to everyone who needs it.

In June, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized lenacapavir to prevent HIV. Earlier this month, the World Health Organization recommended countries offer the drug as an additional option to people at risk of the virus.

Two funeral homes allegedly gave grieving parents their deceased son’s brain in a box, which began to smell, leaked into their car and got on the father’s hands when he moved it, according to an updated lawsuit filed this week.

The father, Lawrence Butler, said the discovery was overwhelming at a news conference on Thursday, leaving a horrific memory that mars the other memories of a “good young man”, their son, Timothy Garlington.

“It was, and it is still, in my heart that I got in my car and I smelled death,” he said, emotion breaking his voice. Garlington’s mother, Abbey Butler, stood nearby, wiping away tears.
