Companies should be very transparent about data collecting & purposes. Allowing people
to make an informed decision to contribute data or not. Hiding it in legalese fine print is not very transparent. Another example of why we should not trust tech companies incl. game companies with our data.

Aside from the bridges, Ukrainian forces are grinding down Russian logistics in sector.

The commander of the 1st Separate Assault Regiment of the Ukrainian Army, Filatov, reports that Ukrainian drones attacked around 50 Russian trucks carry fuel and ammunition in the Armiansk area, Crimea, Ukraine.

It would corroborate statements by the Russian occupation that no trucks are reaching Crimean cities. Fuel can only be obtained using vouchers and no additional vouchers have been issued.

“A work of profound optimism”: The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer review - Global Comment https://globalcomment.com/the-serviceberry-review-robin-wall-kimmerer/

It really is damning when you compare what Craig Federighi was saying less than two years ago to what Apple just unveiled at WWDC26. They completely went against the very values they profess to hold dear.

Hat tip to Greg's Gadgets on YouTube for highlighting this hypocrisy. Check out that link and more in my newsletter which I believe touches on some of the most important ethical issues we’re facing in society today.

mein Bruder hatte mal die gute Idee, zwei Geschirrspülmaschinen in eine Küche zu stellen. eine für sauberes Geschirr. eine für dreckiges. Schränke bräuchte man dann deutlich weniger. effizienter wäre es auch.

hat das schon mal jemand praktisch ausprobiert?

#OtD 11 Jun 1919 racist rioting broke out in Cardiff, Wales, when white, mostly ex-servicemen attacked local residents of Afro-Caribbean, Somali and Yemeni descent. Disturbances lasted 4 days and ended with 3 dead and hundreds injured https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8319/cardiff-racist-riots

Maybe fix thy shit like your long-delayed nonexistent Fable exclusive or fall like the ill-fated that was Sega's Dreamcast.

And the company now acknowledges that a "reliable pipeline of first- and third-party exclusives" is "critical to our success"

Question: arms crossed in an X to say “no”, where and when did that take off? The emoji 🙅‍♂️ was added years ago, but I can’t remember seeing anyone actually do the arms until watching Korean tv shows more recently. Anyone have more of an idea? #askFedi #language

Oh ja en zorg er, en passant ook graag voor dat de basis op orde komt, zoals in de zorg, het onderwijs, de woningmarkt en dat we genoeg gas en elektriciteit hebben.

Dan ben ik tevreden en ws velen met mij. Dus graag wat meer focus op de echte problemen, ipv dat eeuwige gejeremieer over asiel, migratie, veiligheid, nog meer repressie en minder privacy.

In einigen Jahren laufen wichtige Nutzungsrechte für Funkfrequenzen aus. Her damit, heißt es schon jetzt von Telekommunikationsanbietern.

Männer, ganz selten Frauen, wenn ihr euch auf einen Zweiersitz setzt, der schon einen besetzten Sitz hat, dann belegt ihr demütig 95 % eures Sitzes in Richtung Gang und nicht 105 % an den schon da Sitzenden gepresst. Sonst müsst ihr halt damit leben, dass derjenige euch wegschiebt, auch wenn ihr dann angepisst guckt.

Und das passiert mir wahrscheinlich weniger als weiblich gelesenen Personen. 🤷

Meet the System Orchestrator: Toward Intent-centric Computing

'Ich habe mich dafür eingesetzt, dass die Bundesjugendspiele wieder als Wettkampf ausgetragen werden. Leistung darf anerkannt werden!" (Bundesministerin Karin Prien)

Ihr könnt euch meine Gedanken dazu alle denken.

Do I know anyone who's got a good source they can search for music stems? Back in 2020 Orla Gartland released legit stems for her song Pretending, they were uploaded for anyone to use in a cover/remix competition. Trouble is she used Google Drive and now that link is deaded. I'd love to get hold of these for educational use. Word up if you can hook a nerd up. Boosts appreciated for reach.
