topic_title: LinkedIn

post:
 We wanted to try to boost one of our posts on Linkedin to our target audience. They gave us 9 impressions (9 times the post was shown to someone in their feed) and for that we got charged 9,86€. There weren't any clicks, so they're effectively charging almost 1100€ CPM.

There isn't any way to edit (or even view) the way the cost gets calculated. When you boost a post you sign up for the 'we do whatever we want' rate.

Last year we did do a CPC campaign and we got an average cost per click of 26€!

Who's still advertising on there? How on earth can anything remotely worthwile come from rates like this?

comment: Fraud, effectively. Bob Hoffman has a _lot_ to say on the subject of adtech, advertising on social platforms, and so on. None of it good.

post:
 Where the heck has Automator been all my Mac using life?

I need to move some stuff out of iCloud to free up space, and that's mostly going to be videos. But if I just export them and move them from my computer to my NAS, it doesn't retain the created on date, so, if I use synology Photos to view videos and such, they're not properly organized by year and that sucks.

Used ChatGPT to write an automator script and run it as an application where I simply drag and drop the folder of exported photos on my computer, and it moves to the NAS, it sets up subfolders for year if they don't exist, writes a log file, and confirms when the move is done. Created on date stays intact and videos appear in the timeline where they should.

Need to see what else I can use this for. Any of you use it?

 Something really strange just happened.

I'm in LAX right now. Just flew in from Hawaii, my flight from Hawaii was United.

I opened my laptop and connected to the free wifi at LAX.
I'm working with Gemini 2.5 to design an app on Flutter.
All our conversations are related to this project. No other conversation regarding flights exist.

Gemini asked for a screenshot of my Flutter screen to guide me through a process and I uploaded. Then it gave me this answer.

The source at the bottom shows a PDF doc that I have about this app.
So the source of this output is not that, then what is it?

Either through my phone(android) or my Macbook it knows more than it's supposed to and somehow gave this answer.

I'm getting a bit creeped out here.

comment: I'm waiting for my flight to Istanbul btw. Via Turkish Airline.

comment: the answer : "It appears my system incorrectly analyzed the image and mistakenly generated details about a flight."

[User] monNom

comment: probably gets a bunch of user information injected into the system prompt to ensure contextual/localized results. Biased toward flight info due to airport wifi.

comment: Which has to make you wonder... if airport wifi is a stronger signal than the uploaded image, what other strong signals are skewing results?

comment: 1. Screenshot needs to be just the screen UI 2. Somebody else in the flight using the wi-fi asked/scheduled that ticket Gemini got confused

comment: The other person probably got your answer with the code :)))

comment: ChatGPT also had user space leaks, it's not unusual for these models to confuse users

comment: if you are on the same IP

I dragged my old triple vinyl copy of Glastonbury Fayre 1971 out kicking and screaming into the sunshine this afternoon. I lost the outer bag/inserts years ago but this still stands up as one of the great mad live albums of the 70's.

It sounds hippy & all but it's sadly not as much of a fun festival as when I first started going in 1981. It was my regular summer trip (arf) with friends, I ended up going 13 times until the early 00's when even by then it had became too much of a corporate behemoth, it was less fun and more of a chore - it wasn't my age, haha! I've had some fucking nightmare weekends there though, raining all weekend can kill it, friends freaking out on drugs and refusing to get out of the car for the entire weekend, getting stuff nicked, bad trips, breaking down on the way there, and the fucking QUEUES! But I have mainly good memories, some incredible music, sleeping and just staying in the comedy tent for 2 days, scrumpy from a horse drawn wagon (probably for tuppence ha'penny, I can't quite remember) some amazing experiences watching films on giant screens and an overall feeling of having had a great time with good friends and even a few braincells left, well a handful.

post:
 Deafheaven - Pumpehuset, Copenhagen

They named a venue after your mum lol

This fucking band, god-fucking-damn. I've seen them a bunch of times and they only get better but on Thursday night I reached a moment of diamond-like clarity and understanding - like when you're in a Berlin hotel room making a hella rough porno and the pills suddenly kick in and all you want to do, nej, MUST do at that very precise moment, is immediately leave and buy a Gibson SG copy and start making grindcore with the Japanese guy you met at a record store the other day while looking through the aristocratic suicidal death metal albums - yeah, like that.

They started the show with tracks from Lonely People... which just sound utterly brutal and immense live - they have a new guy on guitar for this tour and he absolutely fucking rips. Then about a third of the way in they played Brought To The Water and the planets aligned and I almost began to weep - the music, the band, the performance melted into one glorious sensorial assault. They became the perfect band playing the perfect song at the perfect time. Going from one of my favourite bands of recent times to *the* fucking band.

Then they played Sunbather and the rest of the evening vanished.

U.S. Customs and Access to Phones
Authority to Search Devices
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers have the legal authority to inspect and search electronic devices—including phones—of anyone entering the United States, regardless of citizenship or immigration status. This authority applies at all U.S. ports of entry, including airports, land border crossings, and seaports.
Types of Searches
CBP conducts two types of searches:
Basic Search: Agents manually review the contents of the device without external equipment.
Advanced Search: Agents connect the device to external equipment to access, copy, or analyze its contents. Advanced searches require reasonable suspicion of a law violation or national security concern and must be approved by a senior CBP officer.
Demanding Access and Passwords
CBP officers may request that you unlock your phone, either by providing a PIN, password, or biometric data (such as a fingerprint). While you can refuse to provide access:
U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (green card holders) cannot be denied entry for refusing to unlock their devices, but may face additional questioning or temporary seizure of their devices.
Foreign nationals (visa holders or visitors) who refuse may be denied entry or face further detention.
Legal Basis and Limitations
CBP does not need a warrant or probable cause to search your phone at the border, as border areas have special legal status with fewer Fourth Amendment protections. However, the number of device searches is relatively low—less than 0.01% of international travelers in fiscal year 2024 had their devices searched.
What CBP Can and Cannot Access
CBP agents are allowed to search data stored locally on your device, such as contacts, messages, photos, and documents.
They are not authorized to access or download data stored in the cloud; travelers may be asked to disable network connectivity or put devices in airplane mode during inspection.

Key Takeaways
U.S. Customs can demand access to your phone and may request you unlock it at the border.
Refusal to comply can lead to delays or device seizure for citizens and green card holders, but cannot result in denial of entry.
Non-citizens may be denied entry for refusing to unlock devices.
CBP does not need a warrant to conduct these searches.
Only data stored locally on the device is subject to search; cloud data is off-limits.
Travelers should be aware of these policies and consider steps to protect sensitive information when crossing U.S. borders.

topic_title: Astrology

post:
 Ok, i find astrology to be highly accurate. I don't care about what university did what random controlled trial and found it not accurate. For me it magically works.

Doggydoggdog's Punches For post prompted me to enter some of his public comments into Deepseek to guess his sign.

I'm sorry doggy, maybe you won't like to read this but this based on what you shared.
I only care if this guess is accurate or not.

Question is... What is your sign?
------------------
Based on this deeply introspective and emotionally revealing context, the astrology-obsessed coworker's comments point strongly toward Cancer (June 21 – July 22) or Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19) energy, with supporting evidence for Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20). Here's the breakdown:

1. Cancer (Strongest Fit)
Core Traits: Nurturing, nostalgic, family-oriented, emotionally reflective, security-seeking, prone to rumination.

Why it fits:

Intense nostalgia for past relationships (the girl from age 23) and lingering regret over "dumb" 20s.

Desire for parenthood as a source of purpose and emotional fulfillment ("relearning the world through their eyes").

Focus on security despite boredom: stable job, no debt, yet feeling "complacent" or "too comfortable."

Introverted emotional depth: Loneliness, overthinking past choices, and seeking comfort.

Career disillusionment: Cancers often tie identity to home/emotional safety, not work. The "grunt work" resentment mirrors their craving for meaningful nurturing.

2. Capricorn (Secondary Fit)
Core Traits: Ambitious, disciplined, pragmatic, late-blooming, burdened by responsibility, fears stagnation.

Why it fits:

Career frustration: "No room for advancement" and resentment over management's incompetence scream Capricorn’s need for structure and respect.

Regret over "wasted time": Feeling their 20s were "unsuccessful" and delayed their stability (classic Capricorn self-criticism).

"I should be further along": Despite having a "great job/no debt," they compare themselves to others’ success.

Saturn Return impact: At 35, they’re experiencing the classic Capricorn Saturn Return crisis—questioning life choices and societal definitions of success.

3. Pisces (Tertiary Fit)
Core Traits: Escapist, dreamy, idealistic, prone to melancholy, seeks purpose through sacrifice or transcendence (e.g., parenthood).

Why it fits:

Existential questioning: "Why is life so short?" and doubting the value of a "career" align with Piscean disillusionment.

Fantasy vs. reality: Romanticizing parenthood ("looks like so much fun") and past relationships.

Avoidance tendencies: Wanting to "retire at 35" and "just relax" reflects a desire to escape pressure.

Depression ambiguity: Pisces often struggles with blurred lines between sadness, boredom, and spiritual longing.

Key Astrological Connections:
Saturn Return (Capricorn theme): At 35, they’re likely experiencing Saturn’s final push to confront unfulfilled ambitions and redefine success.

Cancer-Capricorn Axis: Their conflict pits emotional security/family (Cancer) against societal achievement (Capricorn)—classic for this axis.

Moon/Venus Dominance: The heavy focus on relationships, parenthood, and emotional fulfillment suggests strong Lunar (Cancer) or Venusian (Taurus/Libra) placements.

Why the Astrology Obsession?
Cancer: Uses astrology to understand emotional bonds and seek comfort in patterns.

Capricorn: Approaches astrology as a system to optimize life or explain setbacks.

Pisces: Drawn to astrology as a spiritual escape from mundane dissatisfaction.

Final Take:
Most Likely: Cancer Sun/Moon with Capricorn or Pisces placements. Their nostalgia, longing for parenthood, and introverted emotional processing are textbook Cancer. The career frustration could stem from Capricorn Saturn or Midheaven.

Irony Alert: They’re embodying Cancer’s stereotype: holding onto the past while yearning to nurture a future (and oversharing feelings). Meanwhile, their astrology small talk might be a distraction from deeper existential angst—something a true Cancer would subtly deflect with humor or cosmic small talk. ♋

comment: I agree, also when you consider sun, moon and rising it usually comes out as accurate. Maybe he is a leo, but his rising is cancer and that would still validate

 Spending a week on Lake Garda after a wedding in Venice (wink). I’m sat by the pool trying to re-read Blood Meridian, you know, something light and joyful.

Every twenty minutes or so one of the other guests kid turns on the jacuzzi. The violent noise, that the bubble-making germ-tub broadcasts, eviscerates the vibe, spilling the entrails of calm onto the pyre. The tension is palpable. What was once a collection of gently roasting, buttered humans turns into an agitated herd of greasy beached walrus.

And then the noise stops and it feels like the moments after an angry tooth ache passes. The gentle buzz of dopamine heightens the relief and for a few more minutes this is the physical manifestation of fine, fine Zero Seven cut.

I’m torn. Highs and lows, peaks and valleys or smooth sailing with none of the drama?

comment: Home arone

html_comment: Home arone


post:
 I'm really eager to find out how Hispanic MAGA cultists who feel threatened by illegal immigrants taking their jobs feel about the potential that they could be kicked out of the country if birthright citizenship is revoked. They exist. There are a lot of Hispanic MAGA who love Trump for getting rid of people just like them who don't "belong" here. Most of them did it the right way, which I admit is a weird way to say it, because so many of these "illegal" immigrants aren't here illegally. They crossed the border and are seeking asylum under laws that exist. Trump is treating anyone here and not a citizen as an illegal immigrant.

But the birthright citizenship thing... I know someone who's father (in his 70s now) just got their citizenship. They weren't born here, his deceased wife wasn't either, and their daughter (who I know) has been in America her entire life and is in her early 40's. So I have to imagine that she has birthright citizenship even if she is a legal citizen. So she's potentially one of the targets of what Trump is trying to do: get rid of people who are actually here legally, but have birthright citizenship.

Anyone who doesn't understand that raw racism is only reason for any of this is nuts.

Tesla Pauses Optimus Robot Output Following Leadership Shakeup

https://coincentral.com/tesla-pa…

According to Tesla’s feedback to suppliers, Optimus still faces several hardware issues: overheating joint motors, low payload capacity for dexterous hands, short transmission lifespan, and limited battery life. Tesla is still testing samples from multiple dexterous hand suppliers, trying at least three different technical approaches.

One Tesla insider stated that, currently, Optimus is only moving batteries in Tesla’s battery workshops, at less than half the efficiency of a human worker, and has yet to perform more complex vehicle assembly tasks.
