  • What's a piece of Media that is so underrated you must mention it?

    Jump

  • Good news (from December):

    “Absolutely,” [Bryan] Fuller told The Mary Sue recently about wanting to revisit Pushing Daisies. “We have a season three pitch, and the entire cast wants to come back, and we’re hoping we get to return to them. We just have to find somebody who wants to make it.”

  • Oh, good: Discord's age verification rollout has ties to Palantir co-founder and panopticon architect Peter Thiel

    Jump

  • The Palantir connection isn't the only bad bit here:

    Sure enough, Discord's support article describing its age verification process now features a disclaimer informing UK users that they "may be part of an experiment where your information will be processed by an age-assurance vendor, Persona." And while Discord had previously insisted that facial age verification recordings would only be stored and processed locally, the notice about Persona says that "the information you submit will be temporarily stored for up to 7 days, then deleted."

    They tried so hard to convince people the verification would be safe, and they're already experimenting with making it less safe.

  • Benj and Kyle were the authors of the article; Dan's name wasn't on it.

  • Why Are Senate Democrats Still Voting to Confirm Trump’s Judicial Nominees?

    Jump

  • I don't see how appointing judges who'll rule that Trump didn't break the law helps anything.

  • DHS on brink of shutdown as lawmakers leave DC without a deal

    Jump

  • FEMA is part of DHS.

  • Governors won’t hold Trump meeting after only Republicans invited

    Jump

  • NGA’s mission is to represent all 55 governors

    For anyone else wondering what's represented beyond the 50 states, the NGA's Governors page includes the governors of American Somoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

  • TV Execs Warn FCC: NextGen TV DRM Could Turn Free TV Into Gambling and Pay-TV Platforms

    Jump

  • I expect that not only will the current FCC decline to do anything about this, the complaint may have given Trump a new business idea.

  • Origami Linux Introduces an Immutable OS Built Around COSMIC

    Jump

  • However, the only reason I can see for using it over Fedora Silverblue is that Origami ships with a well-configured, ready-to-use COSMIC Desktop out of the box, rather than GNOME.

    The author doesn't seem to be aware of Fedora COSMIC Atomic. That seems like a better reference point.

  • 'No, That Is Not Your Job,' Say Critics After Schumer Claims 'Job' Is to 'Fight for Aid to Israel' | Common Dreams

  • I thought he was a US Senator representing New York State. Is New York so expensive he needed a second job?

  • Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee"

    Jump

  • However, Epic Game Store only actually exists on Windows, and it’s on iOS in the EU.

    Your information seems to be outdated. On the EGS download page I get an "Install on Windows" link with text below it "Also available on Mac OS, Android, iPhone (EU only) and iPad (EU only)."

  • TikTokers are heading to UpScrolled following US takeover

    Jump

  • If you have one, how much do you pay for a domain name? Any cheap registrar recommendations?

    Jump

  • $24.95/yr seems high. Are you looking at a specialty TLD? I paid around 10 USD/yr for a .com with Cloudflare, and 12 CAD/yr for a .ca with Canspace.

  • AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns

    Jump

  • Perhaps it should have been wide adoption that led to a boom, instead of a boom in hope of adoption?

  • Reason #42 for open platforms: to shut down every politician’s incessant demands to all gatekeepers to censor all of their political opponents," Sweeney wrote in a first tweet responding to MacRumors' report of US politicians requesting that Apple and Google remove X and Grok from their app stores.

    Politicians want the offending apps removed from the app stores, and Sweeney thinks app store business is his business. He really ought to worry more about improving his own store.

  • I replaced Windows with Linux and everything’s going great

    Jump

  • This is a followup to their Screw it, I'm installing Linux article in November.

    Since that article was published, I have dealt with one minor catastrophe after another. None of that has anything to do with Linux, mind you. It just meant I didn’t install it on my desktop until Sunday evening.
