The key is to ensure that the day is filled with back-to-back foosball and street fighter tournaments, rides on the transparent slide (which goes out-of then back-into the building), always sit in a beanbag petting your dog (especially on client calls) whilst having a pedicure and four-hands massage and of course swim like a caffeinated fish in bespoke lattes - then the jargon becomes the least of your problems :-)

Problem minification FTW biatches!

Platforms that are supposedly based on the idea of connecting people with one another, or at least sharing experiences and performances — YouTube's slogan until 2013 was "Broadcast Yourself" — now seem focused on getting us to consume impersonal, algorithmic gruel.

Surely the idea of YouTube is to motivate (using any means necessary) people to produce content which will capture others' attention then BLAM, show them an ad at peak interest and ...profit.

I suppose someone has now considered that the necessary evil (creators) might no longer be necessary - thus the revenue-sharing part goes away.

Submission + - Moon-bound asteroid could cripple Earth's satellites, say astronomers (substack.com) 1

KentuckyFC writes: In DEcember last year, NASA's Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) picked up an 60-meter asteroid that appeared to be heading our way. Further observations quickly ruled out the possibility of a collision but in April, the agency announced that 2024 YR4 had a 4 per cent chance of hitting the moon instead. Now astronomers have calculated the likely consequences and say the impact would create a crater 1 km across and send 100 millions tonnes of ejecta hurtling into space and towards us. The risks to astronauts and satellite systems are clearly existential. The team say this kind of risk is not considered in planetary defence plans, which now urgently need to be updated.

Submission + - Celebrating 50 years of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (arstechnica.com)

alternative_right writes: When The Rocky Horror Picture Show premiered in 1975, no one could have dreamed that it would become the longest-running theatrical release film in history. But that's what happened. Thanks to a killer soundtrack, campy humor, and a devoted cult following, Rocky Horror is still a mainstay of midnight movie culture.
