UK approves transfer of Storm Shadow production technology to Ukraine
Did they already have French approval? Kinda odd consulting the French government isn't mentioned.
Edit: I'm an idiot. It's in the bullet points at the bottom

I live in California and still get randomly geoIPed to the UK. I start noticing it when imgur stops loading.

Does he not realize Guantanamo is still open? I'm a little confused on how operating it is consistent with libertarianisim. Then again libertarians have brain worms

If Nvidia deprecates your driver you'll be up shits creek on just about every distro unless you already used nouveau.

Difference between $230 and $80B
I hate Facebook as much as anyone else but this is like comparing apples to a modern commercial airliner. One of these was only a movie. The other was a combination of several things: a research project to try and find ways to drive the cost of manufacturing consumer VR headsets down (this is a giant black hole for money), an attempt to produce said hardware, an attempt to subsidise the price enough to get people hooked, and an attempt to build a complex piece of software for the whole thing. The software in question had to run on the last several generations of quest hardware not just the most recent one. The hardware in question was some Qolcomm mobile SoCs with questionable graphics that were showing their age running on a battery. To make matters worse this was all in VR so you needed high enough looking resolution per eye at at least 90Hz. If you miss those targets the customer may start vomiting which does not sell product. Oh and you can't easily increase your thermal or power budget by making the thing heavier because that will increase fatigue from wearing the product.
The other thing is a 2D movie rendered ahead of time so that time spent rendering each frame doesn't matter.
The metaverse push was stupid but I don't find it terribly surprising that trying to pull a whole industry out of your ass so you can have a monopoly on it is a bit very pricey.

Anon wants to live on Super Earth
They started an unprovoked three front war, prioritize citizens differently based on a state defined class system, got the earth blown up on at least one occasion, use their soldiers as disposable cannon fodder, and send everyone who disagree with them to reeducation camps. Other than that its a swell place.
Its tiring how bad general media literacy is that I can't tell if the 4chan post above is a joke.

I feel personally attacked. Yes I've actually done this (minus sending them money). I had a server (that I am pretty sure sent headers to the effect that it ran x86) which had some logs indicating someone had tried to download an arm IOT botnet onto it. So I downloaded it and tried running it through a decompiler. I found a UPX stub. The rest was compressed. So I tried the UPX unpacker. This didn't work because it was built with a modified copy of UPX. So I hauled out a raspberry pi, reflashed the OS and tried running it in GDB in hopes of just dumping the unpacked bit from memory. Nothing. So I downloaded qemu and set up an aarch 64 arm 9 image still nothing. So I tried 32 bit arm again in qemu. At this point I gave up

Tons of political shit on that list and then midway through it just decides to ban yuri. Not porn, not furry content, and not hentai. Just yuri

Sony/Yoti reporting users to authorities for using GrapheneOS
After going through the linked threads. Discussing graphene OS or any other ROM on r/privacy will get you banned. WTF‽

How Trump or Harris tax plans might change your income
Now factor in the impact of tariff driven inflation on the poor and see if Trump's top numbers are still positive.

They really just can't get a break. When they take money from Google they get attacked. When they try to create other revenue streams (pocket, vpn, etc.) they get attacked. I don't think you want the browser to be a paid for subscription product and the donations aren't enough to reliably cover browser development.
Maintaining and keeping secure a large standards compliant browser is decidedly expensive. And most of the expenses are not one off they are ongoing.

‘Everybody’s at each other’s throats’: James Cameron says he has left the US permanently
"At each other's throats?" 30% of the country is behaving like Nazis, others are calling them on it, and a disturbing percentage are silent. Yes I suppose more people could be silent to help preserve his feelings.
He has the money and platform to speak out. Instead he leaves.

Plus he had to do this every day at the end of his shift. Between that and the rock dust exposure I'd hate to see the cancer rates for those guys

Apple Is Holding the Final Nail for X’s Coffin
I'm not holding my breath here. People seem far too willing to put up with stuff they wouldn't otherwise because it's Twitter. Far too many news orgs still point people to Twitter accounts.
