The accused assassin allegedly used data brokers to track down the Democratic lawmakers he murdered. Congress doesn't need any more proof that selling data to anyone with a credit card is deadly. Every American's safety is at risk until Congress cracks down on data brokers.

Gavin Newsom vetoed a data broker privacy bill that our legislature passed last year that would have allowed Californians to opt out of all data brokers with a single click.

There is a reason why, when I teach video game design classes, I always try to get students interested in architecture: we are building playgrounds. You want to put the player in places that are interesting to inhabit.

Chatgpt dissolves your mind into sludge the same way being a billionaire does, but the difference is you will face consequences for it in a way no billionaire will. Any random billionaire can afford to happily keep rotting their mind into absolute slush in a way you can't.

problem with making any hyperbolic statement abt video games as a medium is that I assume for every game that scrapes by into the western canon there's like 50 untranslated taiwan-only DOS RPGs that have been running since 1989 that are probably just as good as Chrono Trigger that I'll never play

States should be passing laws that make concealing one's identity while dressed as a police officer presumptive probable cause for an arrest for impersonating a police officer.

First, Israel cut Gaza’s last internet cable—blacking out 2.3 million people. Then it bombed Iran with no UN approval, no imminent threat. As eyes shift to Iran, Israel will escalate its ethnic cleansing in Gaza—and create more regional instability.

La mentalidad de crecimiento continuo es hiper tóxica en el mundo empresarial. Quiero decir, la panadería de Manolo, el Bar de la Juani o la Mercería Merche no creo que lleven 40 años funcionando por haber intentado hacerles la competencia a El Corte Inglés, sino por cuidar a una clientela fiel.

This story makes me so incandescently angry. From the demons who killed him to the cops who shrugged off his attempts to find help to the news media that presented his death like an accident to the entertainment industry that used him for a punchline & threw him away. A plague on all your houses.

While i'm over here openly fastening labels to myself like patchwork, my partner jokes that she'll never reveal her alphabet letters. Not everyone is open to sharing their personal identities, and they owe you nothing as proof. Always respect whether someone's out, closeted, or just quiet 🌈

Okay...I know he's cute & amazing, but that's not why I posted this. He's basically telling people that the U.S. is threatening Ireland with financial hardship if it doesn't change its stance on Israel. Americans should not be cool with this

we desperately need fans to: A. know that AI localization will absolutely ruin their favorite manga, anime, games, and books B. fan outrage over AI use is one of the best and only ways we can fight back. most loc professionals are freelance. we're not union. we have no power. Fans must speak up.

News from the world of companies using AI to cheat, lie, and steal. Share this story. It is despicable, and what’s worse, in due time it’s going to be tragically typical and unremarkable. Unless we fight them. NOW. www.bbc.com/news/article...

My favorite example of this comes from over a century ago when the Self-Playing Piano industry argued that if they had to pay royalties on the hit songs they were programming their machines to play, they would go under. This really is a second verse same as the first situation.

BDS is such easy, effective action & yet so many of my seemingly informed, pro-Palestine friends simply don't observe it. It's literally the least that one can be doing in the west to impact Israel's genocidal capacity & still I see supposed progressives buying crates of coke. Right yourself.
