They should start now. Countries should cut off trading with the US once Trump starts making threats in their direction, instead of waiting for him to make up his mind and do something. He’s too used to there not being any consequences.
Reminder that Bethesda is owned by Microsoft, the company that insists it’s going to end support for Windows 10 in October and wants everyone to move to Windows 11, which doesn’t officially support perfectly functional but somewhat old CPUs. So of course they don’t care about GPUs too old to support ray tracing.
TikTok may trust Trump but Apple and Google are much better off acting like the law is in force and could be used against them.
They publish games that focus heavily on getting new swimsuits for their “daughters”. What did they expect to happen?
Nah, Idiocracy somehow got to 2505 with a livable Earth. We are not on that track.
Also, I realize the goal of the Texas law is to label anything GLBT+ as “porn.”
They may not even need to go that far. The age verification laws going around these days tend to require it for content “harmful to minors”, not just porn, and everybody knows Republicans think “anything GLBT+” is harmful to minors.
Youtube and Instagram tried for years to lure in Tiktok users, and they failed so badly that even with Tiktok potentially getting banned, people would rather switch to a different potentially sketchy Chinese app.
What should we call blatant pandering to Trump and his ilk? MAGA signaling?
Gizmodo’s post on this has the most honest title: A Lot of People Are Searching for How to Delete Facebook and Instagram, and We Would Like Their Clicks
The player that got the link back to Youtube removed allows publishers to sell their own ads. Seems like Youtube is worried about the content of ads it doesn’t control and wants to limit its association with them, so if, say, someone sees a porn ad, they blame the site the player is on, not Youtube.
I think the Verge messed up: the announcement said there would be a full-text RSS feed for subscribers, but they’ve actually added full article text to the existing feed, where normally I’d only get 2 or 3 paragraphs.
Their sister site Vox made a similar mistake; their RSS feed already had full text, but once they added the paywall I got the full text of articles that were paywalled if I tried to click through to the site. It’s like Vox Media doesn’t fully understand how its RSS feeds work.
The deportations will be scheduled, and they may be canceled if and only if the appropriate bribes are paid.
But also their migrant child labor force will be scheduled for deportation
Spotify can also pay lower royalty rates on music in subscriptions that bundle audiobooks, so definitely drop audiobooks if you don’t need them.
The official announcement says they did because people have been asking for a way to support the site, but it’s not at all clear those people had a paywall in mind. Ars Technica has had subscriptions for years, and they paywall extra site functionality like topic filtering and a full-text RSS feed, not content.
Apple devices support changing the DNS server through the wifi settings.
Similar vibes than Reddit api pricing
Reddit got the idea from Elon’s twitter API fees. This is Elon being consistent(ly terrible).
Firefox won’t get some weird nobody-asked-for feature that’ll be ditched some time later
Nah, the features nobody asked for will just be limited to ones that will provide a revenue stream.
AMD apparently has the 7900 XTX outperforming the 4090 in Deepseek.
