Awful showing by Washington Post. It's multiple top severity CVEs against On-Premises (non-cloud) Sharepoint servers. These are zero-days that are out being used against vulnerable systems in the wild.

More info should come up with a quick search. Don't have time to find and link a better article at the moment.

On-Prem Sharepoint, if "servers" didn't give that away.

These CVEs are only for On-Prem Sharepoint. Not Office/Microsoft 365 Sharepoint, which is the cloud based one integrated into Teams, underlying behind Onedrive, etc.

So not as chaotic or wide reaching as you might be thinking.

I spent a ton of time playing the nabisco minigolf flash game online as a kid.

They switched it on for everyone simultaneously. Don't want ads? Upgrade to this brand new higher tier at a "discount".

Oh, sorry. I'm definitely not trying to argue against the idea that the economy is shit or that the ever widening chasm between the "classes" is a massive fucking problem.

I'm fairly outspoken online about how I feel like the social justice movement (while critically important) that rose out of the ashes of Occupy Wallstreet was a ploy to get everyone below the 1% fighting each other. Won't go as far to say the only war is class war, but it's for sure the most inportant one.

I was specifically focused on the headline's claim of 60% using BNPL for groceries. We shouldn't need "alternative facts" to make our point.

even cheap optical media might outlast SSDs since those tend to lose their saved data if stored unpowered for x years.

I wasn't aware of this. Would you happen to have any handy links where I could read more?

That only works if you don't manually make it a link. Just !surrealism@fedia.io

No extra markdown needed. It will be converted automatically just like /r/subreddit on reddit

This comment on the post indicates that it's a CitizenWatch article, but that article's own listed sources don't support the 60% number either (as I call out in my response to that comment).

I swear there's barely anywhere online anymore where people practice basic skepticism. If it aligns with their existing biases they just slurp it up, no matter how absurd.

Movie- Final Fantasy XV: Kingsglaive-

Good movie, but some caveats. Could never reccomend as a standalone thing. Some of the voice acting is questionable. Nyx (the main character) does a good job of not sounding like his VA, Aaron Paul, until the lines get strained or emotional and then it's like I'm listening to Jessie yelling at Heisenberg again. Really robs some of the more impactful scenes of their gravitas, because Nyx is a highly trained specops soldier, and the "Pinkman's having emotions" voice just doesn't fit the big scenes to me. Some sections of the movie feel rushed too, much like the game it's meant to tie in to.

As a companion to the game though? Great stuff. Recontextualizes a ton, and explains some stuff that was barely touched on in the game which could have used it.

I beat the game originally around release, and it's had a lot of updates since to further flesh out the story. I'm finally replaying it "complete" on PC with Royal/Windows Edition, all the DLC, a small selection of mods, and a guide to the important "non-game side-content" and when I should watch/read it.

Kingsglaive technically runs concurrent with Chapter 1 of the game, but it spoils the ending of Ch1 and part of the identity of a "mysterious stranger" character early. Best place to watch it for new players is probably after Chapter 1, but for returning players it's great immediately after the game's prologue/training section. The after credits scene leads directly into the opening scene of chapter 1 of the game.

I think the movie singlehandedly saves the character of the game's love interest/damsel in distress, Lunafreya. Adds a shit ton of depth to the game's MC's father. And knowing the end of the game makes everything hit harder.

I mean this sincerely: Am I missing something in their sources? None of their three sources about BNPL support the "60%" number for groceries.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/markfaithfull/2025/04/28/american-consumers-turn-to-buy-now-pay-later-for-groceries-as-high-costs-bite

https://pueblostarjournal.org/news/2025/06/03/shopping-buy-now-pay-later-groceries

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/26/americans-groceries-buy-now-pay-later-loans.html

CNBC mentions 60% of general admission tickets for Coachella being BNPL sales.

It and the other two articles state 41%-43% of generally surveyed people simply stating they used BNPL last year, not for what.

I'm not seeing any source for "60% of Americans using BNPL for groceries", and anecdotally that doesn't match anything I'm hearing/seeing in my day to day life. Economy's shit, but this feels a little "narrative"-y for my tastes.

This is Vital Proteins brilliant response to being taken to court over heavy metal and "foreign materials" contamination in their products.
