Yes, a firefox is a red panda. (Not the same as a regular panda.)

FBI says it's now seized "multiple" ROM piracy sites, claims downloads resulted in $170m losses in just three months
It also claimed these websites had seen cumulative downloads of 3.2m in just three months this year - from 28th February and 28th May - resulting "in an estimated loss of $170m".
In other words:
Given that both these blatant falsehoods match the propaganda that big media parasite corporations started pushing a few decades ago, it seems pretty clear who the taxpayer-funded FBI is working for.

In order to retain our rights to private communications, we have to win every time.
In order to take them away, they only have to win once.
They will keep trying.
Stay vigilant.

Despite having just 5.8% sales, over 38% of bug reports come from the Linux community (2021)
A lot of extra work for just 5.8% of extra units, right?
Wrong. Bugs exist whenever you know about them, or not.
Do you know how many of these 400 bug reports were actually platform-specific? 3. Literally only 3 things were problems that came out just on Linux. The rest of them were affecting everyone - the thing is, the Linux community is exceptionally well trained in reporting bugs. That is just the open-source way. This 5.8% of players found 38% of all the bugs that affected everyone. Just like having your own 700-person strong QA team. That was not 38% extra work for me, that was just free QA!

The sad reality is that while there are a lot of great people on Lemmy, there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join.

Pastor: ICE Let Me Free Because I’m White and It Wouldn’t Be “Fun”
Appalling? Yes. Shocking? Not to anyone who has been paying attention.
“Before I knew it, I saw ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic, and so I approached her, and we were at that point chanting, ‘We are not afraid, we are not afraid.’”
Callaghan then said he told ICE officers to take him instead of harassing her. An agent then “came, got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, ‘Are you afraid now?’” Callaghan recalled.
After he said he still wasn’t afraid, the officer handcuffed him before putting him into the back of an SUV. “They came back three times and they asked me if I was afraid yet, to which I replied, ‘Hell no, I’m not afraid of you, and I’m never going to be afraid of you.’”
Callaghan said that he asked if he was under arrest after officers asked for him to hand over his identification and his cellphone.
“And then they said to me, ‘Well, you’re white, you won’t be any fun anyway. You can get out of the car.’”

LA riot police shoot protester in the head with rubber bullet
The raids are part of a coordinated response across the U.S. after President Donald Trump vowed to instigate mass deportations of undocumented migrants.
Response? Response to what? It looks to me more like a military force invading a city and attacking civilians.

US government is using AI for unprecedented social media surveillance
and potentially to watch US citizens as well
Anyone who thinks this is not being used on US citizens is incredibly naïve.

12 TB of Valve's data from 2003-2013 has leaked online, and Episode 3 content isn't off the table yet
There's also a very good chance that early Half-Life2: Episode 3 builds are in there, but at the time of writing, nobody has found anything related to the legendary sequel that never came. There's 12 TB after all, so it's going to take a long time for the community to sift through all the data and work out what it all means.
In other words, this headline is pure speculative click bait.

Tucker Carlson says Trump’s Justice Department is coming for him
Isn't Tucker Carlson one of the prominent media personalities that spent years influencing voters to support the political faction that put Trump in power?
Does he expect sympathy now?

On August 15th, 2025, Steam will officially stop supporting Linux distributions with a version of glibc older than 2.31
For reference, even Deban Stable has been at glibc 2.31 or newer for three major versions now, and another major version is on its way this year. I don't think this will affect many people.

Ladybird - A browser built for the user
I'm excited to see Ladybird developing, but the project accepting money from Cloudflare makes me wary. Between Cloudflare's man-in-the-middle position in a great deal of web traffic, and their similarly invasive position as a major DNS-over-HTTPS provider, they are not remotely privacy-friendly.

Someone ran a modern Linux OS on a 30-year-old CPU, and it's surprisingly usable
I can't think of a reason why this should be surprising. Linux has been running on low-power embedded systems for quite a while.

Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures?
I don't find the absence of criticism suspicious. The petition makes sense. It aims to solve a problem that affects many individuals and a significant part of human culture.
What I do find suspicious is the sudden emergence of criticism now that it looks like it might succeed. I smell astroturfing and media manipulation.

Trump again brings up the idea of deporting US citizens for crimes
Somebody please correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't Trump a convicted felon who has not yet been sentenced?
