The Mac rumors don’t make sense to me. M5 Max and M6 Max in the same calendar year?

As Kansas no-notice, no-grace-period revokes trans peoples' IDs and birth certificates, many people are looking to relocate to other states. But how long until everywhere in the US is Kansas?
But then again, how long until everywhere in the world is Kansas?
It's hard to know, impossible really, but the US sure seems heading there on a fast path.
I know a lot of people are counting on the midterms to turn things around. But there's near zero chance the losing side is going to believe the outcome of the election.
Jan 6th under Trump 1 was a hell of a thing. What about under Trump 2? Hard to imagine an outcome that doesn't escalate from cold to hot civil war, but maybe I'm just jaded or not very imaginative.
Shit times. Wish I had better answers.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber Seems like this law is easily challengeable, given the purpose of a DL is to accurately identify the driver.
Oh look the ACLU has already filed suit [February 27, 2026]:
"Today’s lawsuit challenging SB 244 was filed in the District Court of Douglas County on behalf of anonymous Plaintiffs Daniel Doe and Matthew Moe by the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Kansas, and Ballard Spahr LLP. The lawsuit charges that SB 244 violates the Kansas Constitution’s protections for personal autonomy, privacy, equality under the law, due process, and freedom of speech."

i bought one of those chinese motherboards which get the UEFI package from American Megatrends and then enable options with the guiding principle of "YES."
check out how many juicy bits it has
you can turn the memory scrambler on and off! it even tells you the seed it has on, i think, this specific boot?
@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems✧✦Catherine✦✧ It's surreal when you think about it. This developer-mode BIOS is used by countless random Chinese PC tinkerers and gamers for more than a decade. X99 mobos are the workhorse that supported the entire Shenzhen second-hand Xeon market. Meanwhile outside China, not even EECS experts have seen these options, and the existence of "developer BIOS" is seen as some kind of news.

Falls ihr selbst oder eine Person, die ihr kennt, gerne mal ein Wochenende lang gemeinsam mit anderen an neuen Ideen mit Fokus auf Female Founders und / oder Social Entrepreneurship arbeiten möchte, habe ich da einen Tipp für euch:
Linz hACkT 2026 vom 20. bis 22. März (https://partizipation.linz.at/de-DE/projects/linz-hackt-2026).
Und wenn ihr dann wissen möchtet, wie ihr bei der Umsetzung eurer Idee auch noch die digitale Privatsphäre anderer schützen könnt, fragt mich einfach - ich bin als Mentor mit dabei!

"I scraped 500+ one-star App Store reviews so you don't have to. Here's what actually killed their ratings"
TL;DR
1) Unwanted notifications
2) Forced account creation at launch
3) 'Slow'
N) Ads. No dark mode. Not saving logins. No timely customer support
Grain of salt required, as sourcing is flimsy, but interesting.

@zkatkat you said it perfectly. Imagine if software developers had to take the PE. Or sign off on their work etc.
They hijacked the Engineer title and many CS grads I have met dont even enjoy the field. Its all just a cash grab of a position. Sad, really.

I just hope we can all understand that there's a difference between "alternatives to American software stacks" and "alternatives to imperialist software stacks."
We have a rare window here where needs of the people and the needs of a democratic, representative state are aligned around independence, agency, privacy and security. But replacing a dependency on distant dominative software with local dominative software is only the illusion of progress.

KBS, MBC, SBS 등 지상파방송 3사가 23일 오픈AI를 상대로 저작권 침해 중단과 손해배상 청구 소송을 제기했다.
오픈AI에서 개발하고 상업적으로 운영 중인 생성형 AI 서비스인 챗GPT 학습에 지상파방송 3사의 뉴스콘텐츠를 무단으로 활용했다는 이유에서다.
이들 방송사를 대변하는 한국방송협회는 23일 보도자료를 통해 “자사의 핵심 자산이자 성과에 해당하는 뉴스콘텐츠를 대량으로 무단 이용하고 서비스에 노출하고 있기에 이번 소송을 통해 지식재산권 침해에 대한 법적 책임을 묻고자 한다”고 밝혔다.
