One animated show I think is pretty under rated is The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy which I think about all the time. #tv

Two professors and their son. No crimes. Six months in ICE detention.

Dr. Maryam Tahmasebi, Dr. Eissa Hashemi, and their teenage son are lawful permanent residents who have lived in California for 12 years. They have been detained since April. We're asking Congress to help bring them home.

Unjustly detained for 188days since April 9, 2026.

Always interesting to see where this graph will continue to go. Chatbots can be good and also very very bad and dangerous. Some folks think we can shame people to not use them. If it worked I could imagine being for that... the chart says it's not yet working.

Half of US adults are using chatbots
2024: 33%
2026: 49%

I've updated my #TvMarks self hosted tv tracking app to help track which streaming services you need and which you no longer need. github.com/stefanhayden/tvmarks #tv #oss

6 services in use and 10 can cancel. Then a list of services I am watching shows in followed by a list of services that I have shows I am up to date on but don't have episodes to watch so I can cancel those services.

Sorry for destroying the fediverse.

@stefan by sharing youtube videos you are actively supporting #google.

if you just had wrote down the core arguments of the video, it would be a win for everybody of us. you, me and #mastodon.

This in incite in to what my ubuntu system is doing that would have taken hours of time to research if I ever could have learned it at all had I not used an LLM. I'll continue to caveat that LLMs have many many things about them that are bad on multiple […] [Original post on gardenstate.social]

Summary of the whole investigation:
- The "crash" was a systemd-oomd/earlyoom OOM cascade, not a kernel panic or hardware fault — the shutdown itself was clean.
- Root driver: Firefox (running unrestarted for 5+ days) ballooned to ~17 GB RAM; likely contributors are the long session plus extensions that run continuous scripts on video pages (AutoTwitchPoints, enhanced-h264ify) — worth watching if it recurs.
- Fixed: removed the redundant earlyoom daemon, and added an early soft memory cap so the system reclaims before things spiral next time.

Nothing else needed from me unless you want to also watch Firefox's memory over the next few days or trim those extensions.

Seems like a pretty good update from Tidal. AI music is getting out of hand on that platform. We'll see if they have it in them to get this done. #music #tidal #ai

POLICY UPDATE
Our stance on AI-generated music
Hi Stefan!
AI music generation tools are changing how music is created and distributed. As this technology evolves, Tidal is introducing platform standards to protect artists, their craft, and inform listeners.
Here are the highlights of our new AI Policy:

Tidal will identify and tag AI-generated music in our app. Listeners will see an "AI" badge next to music we detect as wholly AI-generated.
Tidal will not tolerate AI-generated music that impersonates an artist or group, or that facilitates fraudulent activity. We're implementing automatic tools to remove these releases immediately and on an ongoing basis.
Tidal will not allow music that is 100% AI-generated to be monetized. No royalties will go to such releases, nor will AI-generated uploads be eligible for direct-to-fan sales.
We will expand these policies to music that is substantially AI-generated when AI detection technology is sufficiently reliable to do so.

You'll start seeing these changes from July 15.
