Stay away from social networks and people won't know who you're hanging out with or what you're doing, right? Wrong. When it comes to social networking, a recent study suggests, you can run but you can't hide. A paper published last month in the journal PLoS One shows how researchers were able to learn about nonmembers of social networks based on information their friends posted online.

  • How 'The Idea of You' movie compares to the book
    Mashable, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 05:00 AM

    The premise of The Idea of You might sound familiar: a middle-aged mother/creative and a twentysomething British boy-bander fall in love, much to the media and fans' chagrin. I am, of course, referring to the endlessly discussed romance between Harry Styles and Don't Worry Darling director Olivia Wilde. However, the source material, the Robinne Lee novel of the same name, dates back to 2017 — years before Spitgate, Miss Flo, and salad dressing Instagram Stories.

  • You came back to Threads. Here's how it can keep you.
    Mashable, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 04:45 AM

    The story so far: In July 2023, the Instagram-based app Threads exploded with a burst of enthusiasm from users desperate to flee Elon Musk's X, the app formerly known as Twitter. That faded in the first few months, when the number of daily active users (DAUs) halved. Still, Team Threads was working diligently to add many of the features a disgruntled Twitter user could desire — a web version, a reverse-chronological timeline — while Musk seemed to be doing his best to tank his own service.

  • Stephen King loves 'Baby Reindeer' so much he's written an essay about it
    Mashable, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 03:20 AM

    Stephen King often recommends shows he likes on X (formerly Twitter), but it's not often he writes a whole essay about them. That's exactly what the horror master has done for Baby Reindeer, Richard Gadd's limited Netflix series based on his own experience of being stalked. SEE ALSO: 'Baby Reindeer' has seen a wave of armchair detectives.
