Top EU Court Says There’s No Right To Online Anonymity, Because Copyright Is More Important
This is so stupid since several thousand devices can use one IP address. NAT exists.
If I download music in a Starbucks, can they fine the Starbucks CEO then?
Anyway I hope I hope online artists, and authors are able to use this to sue AI companies for stealing their copyrighted works.

"It's like he's choosing to lose": Trump allies fear he is self-destructing over Kamala Harris surge
Why the fuck would people close to Diaper Dump Trump talk to the press about this?
They want to give you a false sense of security.
Vote like your world depends on it.

China bans compulsory facial recognition and its use in private spaces like hotel rooms
The rules also ban the use of facial recognition equipment in public places such as hotel rooms, public bathrooms, public dressing rooms, and public toilets.
This makes sense.
But this also means private businesses are still allowed to use facial recognition everywhere else you aren't getting naked, lie a hotel lobby.

I know this is [email protected] but I really hate driving these modern trucks. The hood is too high, the windshield is too narrow, and the height is too high. You really can't tell how close something. It's really dangerous.
On top of all that the assholes that drives these things have the brightest lights in the world. That shouldn't be allowed in the city.

A gunman killed and injured protesters at a BLM march. Why did police blame the victims?
But when he confronted the unarmed corkers 15 minutes later in another location, he said, according to an audio recording of the interview, “nobody pointed a weapon at me. This is all me. I lost it. I don’t know what happened. I don’t know why I did it. I don’t understand what went wrong with me.”
Even the shooter admitted fault and plead guilty.
Police dispatch records obtained through a public records request show that officers responding to the shooting were advised that “this is an anti-police protest”.
Yeah, the police wanted protesters to die.
The camera captures Beck’s anger and dismay when the police arrived and said they first had to “secure the scene” before ambulances waiting outside the park would be allowed in. “Will you fucking help us!” she can be heard shouting at the officers. “People are dying!”
It's on video.

It's both. I'm sure Puff Daddy, and R Kelly would rather we forget all the horrible things they've done rather than make money off of it. At the same time the NYTimes and the Atlantic would love to make money off their articles about those two people.

Got annoyed by my gym
Bring them a dumb phone. Ask them to install the app on it for you. Tell then you are not buying a new phone just to use the gym.

Google removes Doki Doki Literature Club! from the Play Store
Its Play listing was appropriately marked as “Mature 17+,” which means that children won’t be able to download it if their devices have parental controls. In addition, the developers clearly communicate that the game tackles serious issues. "This game is not suitable for children or those who are easily disturbed" is the first line of the game.
Looks like the developers and publisher did everything right. Play has a ton of games where you kill people. Google's inconsistency shines again.

Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws

If this really about protecting kids, they could've done opt in blocking at the ISP level. Just a few new fields with ISPs and they have products that can take care of this already.
This is really about tracking every little thing you do online.

DOGE software engineer’s computer infected by info-stealing malware
“At this point it's difficult not to suspect their awful 0pSec is a choice, and that there are specific people (*ahem* *cough cough* the Russians *cough*) to whom they're leaking secrets, with incompetence being merely plausible deniability for their true, treasonous agenda,” one critic wrote on Mastodon.
Yup. All according to plan.
