If other comments don’t get you sorted, Scrounger does it nicely. (if you trust some random site/ have no sensitive bookmarks; other options exist if not.)

Biblically accurate hot air balloon.

Hmm. Are you asking in good faith, or to dogpile? Anyway, sure; I can explain why.

The Gruesome - clickbait because "if it bleeds it leads."
Story - words like "story" are often plainly false when the article is a tiny blurb or fluff piece. Thankfully, this article is an actual story. But remember, it's still bait.
of How - clickbait because it asks a question it doesn't answer, baiting the headline-reader to click.
Neuralink's Monkeys - oh, another Elon Musk altar. The press can't get enough of Musk.
Actually Died - more bleeding leading.

Headlines can just be content, rather than a tease. This article title intentionally relays no new info.

Almost scrolled past, as I love HSL. Glad I didn’t!

tldr: The V of HSV is still unfortunately the same linear nonsense from its roots in RGB. Colors don’t work that way and human eyes don’t perceive lightness that way and we can do better.

 

 
Tech Fails

From spicy pillows to thrown controllers, tech company shaming to gory detail articles on corporate bungling, tales of when you had the good idea at the meeting and were thrown out the window to times when the keynote demo device let the magic smoke out. And maybe some meme shitposts.

Loving the explosion of content in the fediverse! Looking forward to posting and seeing your Tech Fails.
