Jack Daniel's maker says Canada pulling U.S. alcohol off shelves 'worse than tariff'
You know what's worse than pulling things off the shelves? Threatening the sovereignty of foreign nations and then making up bullshit tariffs to do so

You should get a message "you don't exist, go away"
Not sure if that one is still around but I know one person who ran a script with "deluser $USER" and it ate root resulting in fun messages like that

Websites stole and monetized a free browser game, so the designer replaced it with Goatse

Also, the iFrame is particularly asshole'ish in that the original author's site is still out the bandwidth for content, but somebody else is making money off it.
I fully support his response. Personally, I'd love to see the same done to certain scraper-bots

Model says her face was edited with AI to look white: ‘It’s very dehumanizing’
Honestly, I doubt this was even AI. I know it's he buzzword of the month but it's just as easy for some asshole to do with Photoshop

YouTube will soon require watch history to be enabled to show video suggestions
This initially sounded like they were forcing users to their history under the guise of providing suggestions, however it really just means "no history, no suggestions"
I'm ok with this

Fun thing, if you don't sort by "Prime" you'll often find that there's another one of the exact item you're looking for - without Prime - but actually for a lower price. The Prime isn't actually free shipping, it's just baked into the price

Judge: Amazon “cannot claim shock” that bathroom spycams were used as advertised | A West Virginia judge largely denied Amazon's motion to dismiss lawsuit
Honestly, people have been ringing warning bells for a while regarding how Amazon facilitates illegal behavior, including:
Products like this whose purpose is obviously got illegal purposes and even described as such
Counterfeit/knockoff goods
Unsafe and/or not adhering to legal regulations in the country which they are being sold (sometimes often faking the certification logos)
As somebody who has dealt with the latter two, I hope this lawsuit puts on enough hurt and/or spawns similar suits so that Amazon cleans their shit up. It's enough advantage that they don't need to stock local stores without them being able to constantly thumb their nose at the regulations actual B&M stores need to adhere to

Yup, just like they "found" all that evidence on Luigi... after the cop left with the bag and came back

Honestly, I kinda hate the idea of a browser being able to access hardware devices.

Yeah, and Nvidia is pretty guilty for time and time again trying to lock people into proprietary solutions, while AMD introduces public standards like (Freesync comes to mind)

Yup. Back to charging users for the "nav package" and subscriptions for updates. No more pesky Google Maps with their constant-updated content

FBI Seizure of Mastodon Server is a Wakeup Call to Fediverse Users and Hosts to Protect their Users
Interesting no mention of encryption-at-rest (disk encryption), which is something I'd recommend for servers in general.

Anon hates smartphones
Ruined photography?
Professionals or hobbyists can still use a proper camera but the old maxim "sometimes the best camera is the one you have with you" often applies and cellphones do fairly well in that regard

The rent is too damn algorithmic — DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb is investigating RealPage, a company that helps landlords set rent prices, for potential antitrust violations
While they're at it, investigate the use of digital price tags on store shelves, especially grocery stores

Bernie Sanders Calls for ‘NO MORE’ U.S. Funding For Netanyahu’s ‘Illegal, Immoral, Brutal, and Grossly Disproportionate War’ in Gaza
Yeah it's hard to disagree with this. While I don't think that the US or Canada can do much to influence the situation politically, neither should they be providing support militarily.

An article about Project Arrow, an all-Canadian EV
Seriously can we just have a car without all the self-driving bullshit though. Make an electric car that's affordable and Canadian-made FIRST, then work on the autonomous shit
