GPG is dead. Long live GPG.
Even though GPG has been around for almost 20 years, there are only ~50,000 keys in the “strong set,” and less than 4 million keys have ever been published to the SKS keyserver pool ever. By today’s standards, that’s a shockingly small user base for a month of activity, much less 20 years.

Four million keys in twenty years? Yeah, it’s time to move on.
Sleater Kinney + Bob’s Burgers? This is so great.

David Cross On Why and How He Decided to Self-Distribute Hits
David Cross On Why and How He Decided to Self-Distribute Hits
As the days went on, the producers and I were fielding other offers from a handful of distributors – they were all uninspiring, to say the least – all of them following the industry standard template for indie film distribution that has become the norm. That is to say, open for a week in Los Angeles and New York (add a couple additional cities from a list of about 10 or so (Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Austin, Chicago etc.), then if it does amazingly well, it can be expanded to another 10 or so cities from there. If not, then it’s straight to VOD and Apple iTunes a couple weeks later. So technically, yes, it would have a theatrical run, but I wanted as many people to see »

What Using Emoji Says About Your Sex Life
What Using Emoji Says About Your Sex Life
A study found that people who use more emoji in text messages have more sex.
“[Emoji users] want to give their texts more personality,” says Fisher. “Here we have a new technology that absolutely jeopardizes your ability to express your emotion… there is no more subtle inflection of the voice … and so we have created another way to express emotions and that is the emoji.”
I’m not sure which part of this is most impressive, the steadicam, the boom operator, or the wall/chair sliding combo.

…the migration rate of the handset market, in new phones sold hit 67% for the year 2014. We are now seeing the last years that dumbphones are still sold. I project year 2019 is the last year when any meaningful numbers of dumbphones are sold (more than 1%) and year 2020 is the first year when all phones sold are smartphones.
I won’t remember you being stupid dumbphones, I’ll remember you for your good qualities. Good battery life, snake.
What the map of Africa might look like had colonists not carved it up
Africa is not a country. It’s an entire continent filled with an amazing, unparalleled diversity of languages, peoples and nations, some of the latter among the most heavily urbanized places on the entire planet.
What Health Goth Actually Means
What Health Goth Actually Means
It was started in Portland by a bunch of musicians, and says more about our age of aesthetics than it does runway trends.
someone finally did their homework on health goth and wrote an accurate article. Happy some of my friends are finally content to see this whole absurd thing they started properly contextualized.
Sepios
Inspired by the cuttlefish these students at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology built a nautical robot that mimics the locomotion.
“The only four finned cuttlefish robot in the world, Sepios
distances itself from classical nautical vehicles with its
omnidirecitonality and high maneuverability. These qualities combined
with its fishlike appearance and low disturbance are ideal for closing
in on fish, making it the ideal device for marine life filming.”
The way this bot moves made me immediately think of a spin off for pixar’s wall-e. A tiny robot trying to clean up the ocean after all the humans left. 1,000,000x more heart breaking and brutal.
