Calls grow in Germany to ban far-right AfD
  • And that’s a symptom of media and social media echo chambers.

  • Kamala Harris signals she'll go further than Biden on marijuana legalization "we need to legalize it and stop criminalizing this behavior"
  • Our policy was that no one with a marijuana conviction for mere possession could do any (jail time) at all,” said Paul Henderson, who led narcotics prosecutions for several years under Harris. Defendants arrested for the lowest-level possession would typically be referred to drug treatment programs instead of being charged, and weightier charges for marijuana sales would routinely be pleaded down to less serious ones, he said.

  • 100 years ago today Jimmy Carter, an American politician and humanitarian who served as the 39th president of the United States from 1977 to 1981, was born.

  • Apple backs out of investment in OpenAI
  • As someone who works in data privacy, I don’t think the DS crazy ever died down. It’s bigger and more complex than ever. People just got tired of saying “big data” at Silicon Valley bars.

  • Trump seeks to put Harris on back foot with Hurricane Helene
  • Trump flying in with his gold plane and a roll of Bounty.

  • Weirdo gives $4000 to charity so he can smash cheap guitar signed by Taylor Swift
  • Imagine this 65 year old man, sitting at home listing to All Too Well, because he could really relate to dating a Jake Gyllenhaal type, then Taylor tweets that she’s all in for Harris, and his world comes crashing down.

  • Kamala Harris signals she'll go further than Biden on marijuana legalization "we need to legalize it and stop criminalizing this behavior"
  • Harris is from Oakland. She gets it. There are nice dispensaries everywhere in Oakland. Even in very family-friendly or affluent parts of town.

  • Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate
  • You don’t have to fund severance if people leave on their own.

  • USA the terrorist organization!!!

    JD Vance's past remarks on car seats deterring people from having kids go viral
  • Noted. Vance would’ve had 100,000 more kids if he wasn’t banging car seats too.

  • X blocks links to hacked JD Vance dossier
  • So basically a list of sofas.

  • This weirdo is blaming hurricanes on... (Checks notes) Democrats?
  • Unfortunately, there are people that actually believe this shit.

  • This weirdo is blaming hurricanes on... (Checks notes) Democrats?
  • The modern GOP clearly hates Occum’s razor.

    Cause of increasing hurricanes:

    • A) climate change that was predicted decades ago, and is agreed upon by every major climatology study.
    • B) or, shadowy cabal of liberals and Jews that use space lasers and weather controlling machinery to screw the right. And, unlike every government or company on earth, these organization are so aligned and well organized that no whistleblowers ever come forward.

    Obviously got to be B.

  • Google is automating temperature checks for Pixel Pro users
  • The pixel’s temp sensor reminds me of the iPhone’s rear facing LiDAR Scanner. It’s cool, but most of us probably won’t use it in its current form.

  • This blew up pretty fast and hard. MKBHD released a wallpaper app that asks for a ton of data and only allows you to download 1080p wallpapers unless you pay $50.

    Apple introduces California driver’s licenses and state IDs in Apple Wallet as part of California DMV’s mDL pilot program
    www.apple.com Apple brings California driver’s licenses and state IDs to Apple Wallet

    Apple today announced California driver’s licenses and state IDs can now be added to Apple Wallet.

    Apple brings California driver’s licenses and state IDs to Apple Wallet

    IDs in Apple Wallet use the privacy and security features that are built into Apple devices to help protect a user’s identity and personal information. When adding an ID to Apple Wallet, the state-issuing authority receives only the information it needs to approve or deny the request.

    Once an ID is added to Apple Wallet, the information is encrypted on a user’s device, so others — including Apple — cannot access it unless a user chooses to present it. Apple and the state-issuing authority do not know when or to whom a user presents their driver’s license or state ID. A user’s presentment history is encrypted and stored only on their device, and Apple cannot see or access this information.

    When presenting an ID in Apple Wallet, only the information needed for the transaction is presented, and the user has the opportunity to review and authorize the information being requested with Face ID or Touch ID before it is shared. Users do not need to unlock, show, or hand over their device to present their ID.
