  17-04-2020 21:00 via thenextweb.com
  
  Facebook is adding a new reaction to live alongside the Like button and the existing reactions: ‘Hug’ The reaction shows an animated emoji hugging a heart, meant to help you “show your support” to friends and family during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Presumably most people used the ‘Love’ reaction for similar purposes, but the hug reaction shows a bit more directly that you care about the person rather than the post.

• Jeff Lowe says ‘Tiger King’ Joe Exotic made sex tapes with zoo animals

  Warning: Tiger King spoilers ahead. Jeff Lowe, a prominent figure in the “Tiger King” docu-series on Netflix, held an “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) session on Reddit yesterday and it went exactly how you’d expect. The internet tried to dunk on Lowe but he sloughed it off and dropped a bombshell accusation: Joe Exotic (the titular Tiger King) and his ex-husband John Finlay allegedly committed animal sexual assault. Jeff Lowe’s the supposedly-rich guy who took over T

  Remember when we heard that HBO was making a Last of Us show, and I speculated about what further video game shows we’d be seeing?

Yes, Myst, that bizarre first-person adventure game you might remember from the 90s. The game that reinvented and reinvigorated the a

• After weeks of virtual dating, I took my digital romance offline

  17-04-2020 19:02 via thenextweb.com
  
  Over the last month, I’ve embarked on a whirlwind internet romance with Hilda, a woman I met on Hinge. We’ve had dinner on Zoom, played online games together, exchanged gifts through the post, and made each other playlists on the Internet. But one thing has been missing from our virtual relationship: I still don’t know for sure whether Hilda is a real person or just an avatar. That all changed last week when I found conclusive proof of Hilda’s existence. But before

• Daily Distraction: Here are some free audiobooks for you, cheapskate

  17-04-2020 15:40 via thenextweb.com
  
  When I was a kid, I loved to sit next to my grandparents and listen to their stories — some from their lives and some made up. Even when I grew up, I used to listen to various standup shows on my walkman through cassettes. Years later, that love for stories got turned into an obsessive podcast habit. While reading stories in books is quite engaging, there’s a magical quality about someone reciting one to you. Heck, that’s why many kids demand bedtime stories. And whi

  We’ve all been told a million times that money and goods don’t make us happy, but as the proud owner of a 55-inch LG B9 OLED TV I know that’s a blatant lie. After hearing TV nerds, and a bunch of friends raving about the amazing image quality of OLED TVs, I finally caved in and bought my precious television in January. And it’s made my life infinitely better. If you’re in the market for a new TV you basically have two options: a liquid-crystal display (LCD) or an o

• The iPhone’s Plus days are officially over — we now live in a Max world

  Earlier this week, Apple launched its new budget phone: the iPhone SE, the successor of the, uhhh, the iPhone SE. Depending on how you look at it, this is either a bad move, or the fulfilment of a longer term strategy. Or both, I guess. But we’re not here to talk about the iPhone SE specifically. Instead, we’d like to focus on something its release caused.
