Insanity: A new California law says all operating systems, including Linux, need to have some form of age verification at account setup https://www.pcgamer.com/software/operating-systems/a-new-california-law-says-all-operating-systems-including-linux-need-to-have-some-form-of-age-verification-at-account-setup/

Apropos of nothing, the idea that you can measure developer contribution or value by number of PRs is fucking wild.
Most of those people aren't aware Larry Ellison ALSO just took a big ownership stake in TikTok (alongside technofascist Mark Andreessen and right wing propagandist Rupert Murdoch)
this attack (and that's what it is) isn't just about CNN, it's about Twitter, Tiktok, CBS, CNN, Facebook WAPO, etc. etc

Was könnt ihr tun (als Leser*innen)?
In diesen Zeiten gilt: Augen auf beim Bücherkauf.
🔷 Wirken Buchcover und Klappentexte auf euch deutlich KI-generiert? (Zugegeben, bei Bildern/Illustrationen ist das oft schwierig zu bewerten).
🔷 Gibt es auffällige Unstimmigkeiten aller Art in der Leseprobe (bei Amazon: „Blick ins Buch“)?
🔷 Haben die Autor*innen weder Social Media Profile, noch eine Webseite, oder andere Internetpräsenzen, auch nicht in Buchportalen oder einem Verlag?

Do any blind people have experience making videos for channels? I'm thinking of videoing myself reading or creating audio of me reading stories over which I would super-impose visuals. Obviously, being blind, videography isn't my strong point and I would greatly appreciate pointers to any resources that might exist or guidance from anyone happy to share. Thanks for any help.

Frauen verdienen 16 Prozent weniger als Männer – auch weil sie oft weniger verlangen. Dabei ist nicht die Frau gierig, die verhandelt. Gierig ist das System, das ihre Leistung umsonst will. https://taz.de/!6157832
Data Projects, Volume I: From Projects to Products
US already has the most sophisticated global surveillance system on the planet, been caught spying on allies leaders, our congress people, installing backdoors into public infrastructure of allies
"Pentagon threatens to cancel Anthropic’s $200M contract over safeguards"
But worry about China
Obvio US intelligence/JSOC/police wont be using this new one they are building for nefarious purposes
We are going to create lists of people and spy on literally everyone, for democracy and freedom
G'day,
I'm Kev. I'm over 60, retired ex military and I take photos. I'm a long time Linux user.
I got kicked off of Meta products because I refuse to upload a video selfie to prove I'm over 16 years old. 🤔
Tried Bluesky, but's it full of people trying to build their follower count. I prefer the Fediverse.
I swear occasionally, post Australian landscape photos and probably some garbage. (You have been warned)
It's nice to be here.

#Media Threads
"First, it was NPR. Then it was MS Now. Then it was CNN. Now it’s the Times. All four media organizations have determined that files are missing from the tranche of documents related to child-sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein that was released by the US Department of Justice. ...
Given this drumbeat of recent reporting, something appears to be breaking."

I was surprised to learn that gzip streams encode which operating system did the compression. I built a little tool, "gzpeek", to inspect this metadata (and more): https://evanhahn.com/introducing-gzpeek/
