  • Tommy Tuberville threatens to end career of any GOP senator who blocks Matt Gaetz

  • X adds Twitch to its advertising boycott lawsuit

    Jump

  • And changed the twitter ToS to require suits in a specific part of texas.

    Elon Musk's X updated its terms of service to steer user lawsuits to US District Court for the Northern District of Texas, the same court where a judge who bought Tesla stock is overseeing an X lawsuit against the nonprofit Media Matters for America.

    The new terms that apply to users of the X social network say that all disputes related to the terms "will be brought exclusively in the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas or state courts located in Tarrant County, Texas, United States, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those forums and waive any objection as to inconvenient forum."

    X recently moved its headquarters from San Francisco to Texas, but the new headquarters are not in the Northern District or Tarrant County. X's headquarters are in Bastrop, the county seat of Bastrop County, which is served by US District Court for the Western District of Texas.

  • US Republican politician must resign after pleading guilty to sexual assault

    Jump

  • It was attempted sexual assualt. To Trump that probably makes him a loser who can't get the job done.

  • Netanyahu wouldn't stop just because Biden cut off weapons shipments. At best the genocide would be paused for a couple of months until Trump took office and resumed shipments.

  • Trump Files Lawsuit Against Georgia Elections Before the Election

    Jump

  • I like how just summarizing the charges against Trump takes up nearly half of the article:

    As of August 27, 2024, Donald Trump has been personally charged with 92 criminal offenses in four criminal cases. This total reflects charges related to Trump’s attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, election interference in Georgia, falsifying business records in New York, and mishandling classified records after leaving the presidency. Donald Trump is the first former president in U.S. history to be criminally indicted.

    In New York, Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records. Prosecutors proved that Trump was involved in an illegal conspiracy to undermine the 2016 election in connection with concealing hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. He will be sentenced in September.

    Slightly over 1 year ago, (Aug. 14, 2023) Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis officially filed a slew of RICO charges against Trump and 16 of his cohorts suspected to be involved in election tampering.

  • From the CNBC article that is the source for the linked post:

    Trump’s suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Amarillo, Texas, effectively guaranteeing that it would be assigned to Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a Trump nominee with a conservative judicial record.

    That gives Trump a much better chance of winning than you'd think from only reading the Political Wire post.

  • Reddit is profitable for the first time ever, with nearly 100 million daily users

    Jump

  • Reddit also grew to 97.2 million daily users over the past few months, marking a 47 percent increase from the same time last year.

    This is for the quarter that covers July, August and September. Last year, the API fee kicked in on July 1, killing most third-party apps, and the quarter would have also included any lingering drop in users from June's protests. So, it's a big year-over-year increase in daily users but that's compared to what might not have been a very good quarter last year.

  • Philadelphia DA sues Elon Musk PAC to stop $1 million lottery for voters

    Jump

  • The article says they're treating this as an illegal lottery; maybe the state's voter bribery laws don't cover this particular scheme and the lawsuit is plan B.

  • Philadelphia DA sues Elon Musk PAC to stop $1 million lottery for voters

    Jump

  • Because it's a federal crime and the feds aren't doing anything about it.

  • Elon Musk's X further squeezes developers with apparent new API fees

    Jump

  • Yes. Twitter was first, then Reddit, now Twitter is another fee

  • Musk has already moved on from telling advertisers to fuck off to suing them for fucking off. He's just making sure he doesn't have to sue the PAC.

  • An investigation exposes data brokers using ads to help track almost any phone

    Jump

  • They're tracking people using their phone's advertising ID. How to Disable Ad ID Tracking on iOS and Android, and Why You Should Do It Now

    On newer versions of iOS apps have to ask for permission to access your device's advertising ID; Facebook was very unhappy about that. Turning off Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Tracking -> Allow Apps to Request to Track will (should?) keep apps from getting your advertising ID. I'm not sure if Android has anything like that, but Google is an advertising company so my guess is No.

  • Apple already supports buying individual episodes on the iTunes Store.

  • In Rambling Interview, Trump Blames Zelensky, Not Putin, for Ukraine War

    Jump

  • Ukraine gave up its nukes years ago on a pinky swear Russia would leave it alone. They'd have to be Trump-level stupid to think if they just give up one more thing this time Russia will keep its word.

  • On Wednesday Mullenweg posted another ultimatum in Automattic’s Slack: a new offer that would include nine months of compensation (up from the previous offer of six months).

    Upping the offer may get more people to take it, but now he's going to get people sticking around to see if he'll go higher later.

  • You should be using an RSS reader.

    Jump

  • old.reddit still has RSS feeds for subreddits, if there's anything you still want to follow there. e.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/technology.rss

    The lemmy community for my city is completely dead, so I follow the subreddit this way.
