Ah. I guess comfort would depend on the amonut of, uh, support.
Saxx seems to be the most common one. I've got more links if someone wants them. 🤣

Mount Everest, a climber known only as ‘Green Boots’, and the mission to solve a 30-year mystery
Reply in thread
The very last paragraph in the article seems to attempt to address that question. I don't see why they'd be willing to spend $150,000 to retrieve a body that they aren't confident is still there. But who knows?
In the past 10 years unconfirmed rumours suggest the body of Green Boots has been moved or buried. But Arnette says he has heard from climbers who insist Green Boots remains in the cave, “right where he’s always been”.

CNN hosts told they're "complicit" in Trump re-election in live interview
Published July 1st.
Presidential historian Allan Lichtman took aim at CNN's News Central hosts Monday morning for being "complicit" in Donald Trump's political rise amid the presumptive Republican nominee's bid for a second term.
Lichtman, appearing with hosts John Berman and Sara Sidner, shifted gears during his comments about recent polls between Trump and Democratic incumbent Joe Biden.
He believes Trump's remarks during last week's debate should have grabbed more headlines than Biden's much-discussed struggles.
"I love you guys in the media, but I have to say, you are complicit in Donald Trump lying and conning his way to the presidency. All of the attention has been on Biden's faltering debate, but Donald Trump's debate was vastly worse," Lichtman said. "It was based entirely on lies. More than 30 significant lies.
"He threatened our democracy by saying he wouldn't accept the results of a fair election. That he would seek retribution. Why wasn't that the headlines? Why wasn't that the greatest concern from the debate, rather than all of the focus on Joe Biden."
In his rebuke of the media's coverage of Trump, he continued:
"There's an old saying, it's not just the evil people who wreak havoc on the world, it's the good people who don't do enough to stop them. And the media right now is complicit in Donald Trump gaslighting his way to the presidency and threatening our democracy," Lichtman added.

Opera explains how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support as Google Chrome disables it
They explain nothing. They're in the same boat as all others: open source will let them keep MV2 longer than mainstream chrome, but that future is uncertain as the main project codebase starts to evolve around MV3 and backward compatibility to hack MV2 back in gets lost over time. Nobody here can make promises, and sites that make that make those judgments are naive.

Chris Krebs, ex-head of cybersecurity agency targeted by Trump, has Global Entry membership revoked
Global Entry is like TSA Prepass but for international travel to/from the US.
He can still travel, but will now be subject to standard security checks instead of quick ones.
This is extremely petty.

So, in other words, SCOTUS took the case to invent something entirely unrelated in order to rollback 40 years of progress. Got it. I'll look forward in dread for the outcome in 9 months.

Microsoft is moving antivirus providers out of the Windows kernel
Reply in thread
Another big area of Windows that uses kernel-level drivers is anti-cheating engines for games. Microsoft has been speaking with game developers about how to reduce the amount of kernel usage, but it’s a more complicated use case as cheaters often have to purposefully tamper with their machine to disable protections and get cheating engines running.
“A lot of [game developers] would love to not have to maintain kernel stuff, and they are very interested in how they do that,” Weston says. “We’ve been talking about the requirements there, and I think we’ll have more to say on that in the near future.” Riot Games told me last year that it’s willing to follow potential Windows security changes and “recede from the kernel space.”

Yep. This is such a weird fear monger topic.
If the country that owns IO ceases to exist then IANA will just make it an ICANN generic TLD. Such a widely used TLD won't be allowed to disappear. The rules are all made up anyway.

The President of the United States posted this message on his account. He wants the Vietnamese to buy SUVs

Frustratingly his constant repeating of this backwards understanding is working. It's starting to widely take hold and resistance in the face of constant misinformation is breaking down. I heard in the last week NPR and the BBC repeat the "foreign country will pay" as fact, not a quote, with no effort to correct or clarify.
What's the saying? Repeat a lie enough and it becomes reality?

Meet Andrew Yang, Who Is Keen to Help Musk's America Party
Yet another misleading headline.
The article goes on about Yang's dislike of the two party system, that he made his own party to break from the system, and is supporting others who want to do the same.
Nothing in there said Yang agrees with or supports Musk's political objective beyond challenging the two major parties.
