Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed throughout this commencement speech at the University of Arizona for his praise of AI. This comes just a week after another commencement speaker who mentioned AI was booed at a school in Florida. Read more: www.404media.co/ucf-ai-comme...

This is unacceptable, @plaion.bsky.social! Customers were promised a physical release with the DLC included on disc. The only acceptable solution is a proper reprint. Many smaller companies have done the right thing. Surely, you can do too!

1/4 Google has known about a bug that breaks VPN apps for 7 months, leaving users exposed with no warning or error, just a VPN app that stopped working in the background. If you're using ANY VPN on Android, you can help us by getting Google's attention to fix it. Details 👇 🧵

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

With all the bullshit going on, I would like to add that only placing blame at the top isn't right. Just following orders isn't an excuse. If an American soldier admits to involvement in Iran, they should be ostracized for it. Respect the troops? Lol, no. We don't have to respect these assholes.

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

The actual post is still available in the repo. Normally, when a post is deleted, it's removed outright with no way to get it back. pdsls.dev/at://did:plc... It doesn't appear in the timeline feed or the post thread API. They may be actively blocking it in the most stupid way possible, lol.

Bluesky deleted my post complaining about the CEO lol. I did not delete it myself! Full on Lowtaxing from Jay here.

Let’s give these motherfuckers bribing and kidnapping children as much attention as possible

The Intercept@theintercept.com

With deportation continuing apace amid the federal government shutdown, advocates speculated that the latest scheme to pay off immigrant children was deliberately timed by ICE and its parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security, to minimize public attention.

Posted this on Reddit and I've been getting reported for suicide watch all morning. For reference, people do this as a way of saying "kill yourself" without getting banned. I can't imagine anything more pathetic than getting riled up about trans people literally just existing. Deeply cringe.

Had to think on it for a bit, but Link’s Awakening is definitely my answer. It’s a quick cozy adventure with plenty of lil secrets to find and doesn’t overstay its welcome. Item swapping can be annoying but I never found it to be too bad

What video game do you consider perfect? I can't find a great representative GIF, right now, but I think Portal 1 is pretty perfect

DO. NOT. TRUST. BOXART! As questions about 007 first light arise, we can't stress it enough. On numerous occasions companies provided online retailers with deceiving boxart that doesn't indicate online dependencies. Wait for a trusted source to investigate!

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

strollin stus 20 miles away when mario is hospitalized for dehydration

Supper Mario Broth@mariobrothblog.bsky.social

An immensely obscure tiny detail in Super Mario Sunshine is that Strollin' Stus have heightened awareness of Mario if he has no water left. Pumping FLUDD with no water makes them notice Mario from much further away. This took players 22 years after the game's release to discover.

For Pride, I’m remembering Lucy Hicks Anderson, trans woman who transitioned as a kid in the late 1800s. She was an incredible socialite and cook, so much so that when she was arrested and a banker got her out of jail because they had a party and she was the cook! We have always been here.

NEW — Kelvin Membreño will be deported to El Salvador by ICE tomorrow. He’s the birth father of three US citizen daughters and has become an important part of their lives. Here their adoptive mother makes a last ditch plea to let him stay in the same country as the girls. A gutting guest essay:
