Doctors at Scripps Health studied the outcomes of people who switched to a reduced dosing schedule of their GLP-1 therapy. They found that people generally maintained their weight loss and other improved health markers, even if they dosed as little as once every two months. Though still preliminary, the results suggest it could be easier and more affordable to stay on GLP-1s long-term than is currently assumed.

Hard no from me

Heavy dose of nostalgia there. I remember the Sun SPARCstations at uni and changing my desktop environment every other week.

JPEG XL? It’s 2026 and I’m still waiting for JPEG 2000 to become mainstream

I installed it 3 weeks ago and I’m really impressed with it and the companion mobile app

The very same

Oh, I thought it stood for Fuck Off, Miserable Osborne

The only good use of AI would be to use the heat from its excessive power consumption to keep our sausage rolls warm

Hmm, doubt it’s for security. Seems more likely they’re looking for backdoors in order to spy on users. There are far too many governments desperate to backdoor encryption and messaging apps to trust any government’s stated intent when it comes to technology

I believe that any entity that witnessed me taking a dump would be truly terrified

If true, God spends a lot of time dreaming up scantily-clad, uwu-looking cat girls for an army of socially isolated believers

Your cables break every 3 days

Finally, some good AI news

Vibe math. No thank you

Arthur C Clarke is an excellent author and the Rama series is one of my all-time favourites. I’d recommend anything by Philip K Dick, though honestly I think a good reference would be to pick works listed in the SF Masterworks collection, it’s how I found many of my favourite SF novels.

If you fancy venturing into modern SF classics, my favourites are by Peter F Hamilton, Iain M Banks and William Gibson; though does Gibson count? He doesn’t even have a middle initial 😄

Note that it was City of London Police involved. The City of London is quite distinct and different from the London that tourists know of. The City of London is owned by the corporations (mainly financial institutions) within its boundary, it is self-governing and has the right to set up it’s own police force which can take enforcement action in any part of the UK, not just the City of London. They are basically an enforcement arm for corporations and are very interested in things like enforcing intellectual property claims.

I like how Hawkeye has now been relegated to making line calls at international tennis tournaments

‘One’

Stone cold classic.
