Errrr, Happy Anniversary to the Windscale disaster

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

She's just scared that she might become an even bigger tit.

OpenAI's Sora gambit is somehow even more reckless and arrogant than we've grown accustomed to with the company. OpenAI is betting that it can spit in the face of creatives, workers, and the largest media companies on the planet—and bend copyright law to its whims.

Vapourware, like what's the point of the device when the phone fills that niche. There's a reason MP3 players aren't popular anymore....

Well this is absolutely grimm. Upside is Unis are bureaucratically anal about processes so they will be pushing on making sure the data is treated properly.

Unity game engine had a security issue that Valve has put out an announcement on: steamcommunity.com/groups/steam...

We just sued ICE. Support us here: 404media.co/membership/

Considering how queer coded Eurovision is, Russia starting their own is insanely funny. Apparently USA was going to participate but withdrew 🥴

His reaction when I said “treats?”

UK Government announcement of additional Online Safety Act regulations, not yet published www.gov.uk/government/n...

Note the direction of travel: OSA requirements that currently oblige platforms to proactively "protect" children from content will be extended to protect adults.

Coped a GTX 1060 for £60 and.....
Nvidia is a bit mid on Linux, if you play older games. Like one of the 32bit packages needed depends on something that it shouldn't really depend on. More the other way round 🥴

Another day, another day Ai is running the internet. Automated AI DMCA take downs on non related works. 🫠

Little gentleman in a box :3

This is just stupid. The online safety act isn't designed to protect children let's be honest

I actually saw someone this week unironically wearing a Fsociety shirt.

If they want to do something about the online safety act It needs to be done in a British court.
Don't need a law degree or lawsuit to see Ofcom can't enforce the online safety act on non Brits.

The Covenant believe that what they call "The Silent Cartographer," is somewhere under this island. The Cartographer is a map room that will lead us to Halo's control center. The island has multiple structures and installations. One of them contains the map room.

Stumbled upon this study on the evolution of Strategy Game UI over the years by Treeform. Cool to see the reduction in screen real-estate

To explain:
1. OpenAI has to convert to a for profit by end of year or SoftBank cuts their funding in half, effectively reducing their next check size from $20bn+ to $700m
2. Microsoft/oAI's negotiations are holding it up, oAI wants a bunch of concessions, MSFT doesn't care, owns their IP anyway
