I guess don't get involved then?

Also, this conjures images of Shinzo Abe in a fighter jet with the numbers 7-3-1 on the side.

No, Facebook and Twitter are still useful for the status quo.

Fox News isn't rallying people to support Palestine.

Thanks AIPAC, for protecting Americans from foreign misinformation campaigns.

Ozzy the man was already in from Black Sabbath. But Ozzy Osbourne the band is in now. Their first six albums (through No More Tears) are as good as any other band in metal.

I assume this means Randy, Zakk, Jake E. Lee, etc are in.

Curious to see what they do about the bassist and drummer who sued and were subsequently removed from the reissue of Blizzard of Oz and Diary.

EDIT: Looks like Randy has been in the hall of fame on his own since 2021. TIL.

 

"Google issued a stern warning to its employees, with the company’s vice president of global security, Chris Rackow, saying, “If you’re one of the few who are tempted to think we’re going to overlook conduct that violates our policies, think again,” according to an internal memo obtained by CNBC."

Guaranteed way for me to not watch a video is when the thumbnail shows the narrator doing their best Forky face.

I remember the last few versions of Netscape Communicator had a "Shop" button.

This was the sign that Netscape had lost the browser war and was giving up.

Never heard of this service. Thanks.

I'm still on a Fairphone 4 -- in fact, in December it surpassed all my previous smartphones as the one I've owned and used the longest since smartphones became a thing. However, I'm on CalyxOS and have always used a GCam port for taking photos. So I'm not sure if I will get this camera software update or if I have to move back to the (buggy) stock Fairphone OS to see the changes.

 

"We just gave the Fairphone 4 a revolutionary update, with a completely refreshed camera experience, and we couldn’t be prouder."

The Fairphone 4 was released in summer 2021 and has been superseded by the Fairphone 5, but this major update addresses one of the biggest complaints about the device since day one -- the camera.

This is a big complaint for me. I know that there is the official standalone APK, but if I am running a de-Googled phone, I want to be able to use Signal and have it update on a regular basis.

 

Finally, we can have usernames in Signal instead of giving our phone number to everybody.

 

Mozilla now has an official Debian repository for running the latest Firefox releases.

 

Leah is now selling the 820 G2 with Libreboot. Now you have another choice when it comes to a completely libre firmware. Intel management engine is neutered. This is the newest laptop supported by Libreboot.

 

Bruce Perens, one of the founders of the Open Source movement, is ready for what comes next: the Post-Open Source movement.

First of all, our licenses aren't working anymore," he said. "We've had enough time that businesses have found all of the loopholes and thus we need to do something new. The GPL is not acting the way the GPL should have done when one-third of all paid-for Linux systems are sold with a GPL circumvention. That's RHEL.
