  • Adobe is recruiting a Photoshop developer. They want to rebuild the entire rendering engine

  • Adobe is scum. But it's important to know what they are up to.

    I'm pretty sure they have a team spying on open source projects. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to undermine them.

  • Meta will train its AI on far-right media organization

  • This week, Newsmax announced it had struck a deal with Meta.

    Under this agreement, Meta will “draw upon Newsmax’s significant current reporting as well as archived content across its platforms to support AI queries across Meta’s apps and devices”

    The financial terms of Meta’s deal with Newsmax were not disclosed.

    Newsmax is for people who believe Fox News is woke. NewsGuard, which uses journalists to rank the credibility and reliability of news outlets, gives Newsmax a 20 out of 100 .

    Following the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Newsmax aggressively promoted the lie that the election was stolen by Joe Biden. A judge ruled that Newsmax defamed Dominion Voting Systems. In August 2025, Newsmax settled the suit by agreeing to pay Dominion $67 million.

    Newsmax has promoted misinformation on topics beyond the 2020 election.

    In 2019 and 2020, according to the Washington Post, a member of the Qatari royal family invested about $50 million in Newsmax as the network was struggling to keep up with rival Fox News. Senior leadership instructed employees to soften their coverage of Qatar and reprimanded a host for a critical comment on air.

    A 2021 report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate identified Newsmax as one of ten sites contributing to 69% of user interaction with climate misinformation on Facebook.

    In addition to spreading misinformation, Newsmax has also silenced criticism of Trump.

    During a September 2021 interview with an Iraq War veteran, Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield abruptly cut off his guest when he started to criticize Trump over his efforts to get U.S. citizens out of Afghanistan.

    Stinchfield attempted to interrupt the guest, but when he continued speaking, Stinchfield shouted, “Cut him off please, cut him off NOW"

    Chris Ruddy, the CEO of Newsmax, is a longtime friend and informal advisor of Trump. He is a member of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club, where the pair frequently dine together
