BTS was on the cover of one of the magazines that display at the store checkstands a week or two ago. ( Originally saw this video thanks to a link from @kai ) -

Ever since PSY’s hits “Gagnam Style” and “New Face”, I do occasionally throw “kpop” into YouTube to see what comes up. So far, nothing that I’m bonkers about, but a lot of it is okay. -

Seems like a really long time ago that my youngest niece (currently 23) listened to Justin Bieber. After she stopped talking about him, I figured his music career was over. It may be. I haven’t heard anyone mentioning his newer music in years.
Anyway, this is the song I remember LG playing all the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kffacxfA7G4 -

So Google is threatening to take down some Mastodon clients from the Play Store because it is possible to access hate speech. A lot of people seem to think Google does not understand federated networks, but somewhere in the organization, they do. Years ago, they had a few socnet projects, some of which sort of worked with Identica. Then came GPlus, which was initially a non-fed… -

@geniusmusing OMG! This will probably be the #1 product this holiday season.
It's a horrible idea, but that's what makes things popular. Admittedly listening in on your speech. Stee-rike! Unstated, but likely sends those recordings to HQ. Strike two! Requests nude selfies. You're out! ... and out of the game! -

#Gitpod cloud IDE now open source https://thenewstack.io/gitpod-open-sources-a-holistic-ide/
As we continue to contract the family's online footprint, I don't have "cloud" capacity to try this, but I probably would not have done so anyway. I like #Netbeans for those moments when I feel "I need an IDE" ... I also have #Eclipse, but there's no "like" about that slow and bloated program. -

That's interesting. So far, more than one of the anti-malaria drugs I've read about (on #Wikipedia ... I'm not at the level yet where I could read a study abstract and come away with any kind of high-level overview or feeling of understanding) have a statement to the effect "we don't really know how or why this works".
