Sourced from Pixiv. Absolutely adore how good she looks but upon closer inspection you can see nips so I didn’t think it would fly over on sh.itjust.works/c/rwby (but please come join for more RWBY fanart & discussion <3 )

I am in the hunt right now for a domain (I plan to use for email and such, meaning, things that would be tied to my legal person). As some of you know, by law in many places it is required to have a set of legally true information to register a domain (from name to house address, in case the domain needs to be verified to belong to a real person).

I was checking porkbun a second ago, and the privacy policy really does not give me confidence (they mention very clearly there is sale and ai training involved). I am from Europe so I would expect gdpr to be respected by default, however, they say I would have to send an email to get my rights and identify myself (I expect an Id upload which is not really a thing I want to do).

Considering all this, what are the better places for domains? I expect to pay more than porkbun, but if it people that do it right, so be it.

According to Dataforce numbers reported by Automotive News, the overall market grew to 835,409 units while Chinese vehicles accounted for 11.7 percent of registrations.

Replies were bombarded with harassment and enbyphobia, trotting out the usual, “Why did you say their? Is she a group?” talking point, like a wall of Buzz Lightyear toys repeating their stock phrase. Others ask how to un-back the project, some describe the announcement as a “threat,” and then come the usual buzzwords: Erika Ishii is a “toxic activist,” a “woke idiot,” “Antifa terrorist,” and a few blatantly racist descriptors we obviously won’t repeat here. Understandably, Double Fine turned off the comments.

Borlänges somalier oroas över att drevet mot de somaliska riksdagsledamöterna kan göra att färre vill rösta på somalier i framtiden.

Kanske sänder det fel budskap att gå så hårt åt Muhammed Ali och hans medgärningsmän i media? Det är ju lätt för andra somalier att tolka det som att de helt enkelt inte är välkomna i maktens korridorer.

I had a report for AI slop today. 1m LOC in 3 months. How do you even modify and distribute that? I do not think we had a rule against it.

IMHO if we allow, the community gets drowned out by AI vomit and it is harder to see handcrafted loved projects that are easy to modify and distribute.

My mind is to ban it to preserve open source.

Are folk in agreememt with this line? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Today’s game is Myst. It was on sale for like 2$ so I picked it up. I was wanting the fancy modern version but ME was 2$ and the same experience. So I figured why not.

I’ve been wanting to play this for a hot second for a while. I used to have a disk for my iMac G3 I could play on. I was young though and had no understanding of what I was doing. So I wanted to give it an earnest try.

First thoughts? This game is creepy and claiming at the same time. Somehow it usually feels like I’m in this serene calm place (picture above not relevant to this part), but also it feels like there’s something there (picture above IS relevant to this part). Either behind me or around the corner and it’s going to get me. It’s an interesting feeling.

I love the graphics. This early kind of FMV is super charming to me in a way even though I didn’t grow up with it. I remember loving it when I was exploring it freely when I was little too. Pair that with the soundtrack and it’s a good time. My favorite so far has been the planetarium. I always loved space growing up and this somehow scratches that feeling.

I made it through the mechanical age before having to stop. I brought the blue page back with me so and that was rather fast so I don’t expect this to be super long of a game to play.

Major changes for the Halo series as Microsoft gives the next major game to Activision to make.

We are all tired of hearing the same tune: “the far-right is winning.” Yet, it keeps happening.

Far-right parties are topping polls across Europe’s biggest democracies while already sitting in cabinets and even leading governments in several EU countries and beyond.

Note: article is almost one month old. Still relevant since I’m curious how you’d answer this question:

" Do Moderate Politics/ Politicians fail to gain popularity due to a Lack of Mythological and Cultural Communication?

As much as I love Google (not even a little, my love for that company is negative and becoming more negative per second) I would love to run far far away from it. Here’s another ball and chain I need to break.

Where can I find a simple parental control access system for my phone and or computer that I allow my kids to use?

In a leaked document, the Irish Presidency proposes to EU Member States that the interest of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceX to make profits should take precedence over the fundamental right to data protection. Use of personal data “in the context of AI” should automatically be lawful. There seems to be wide informal agreement by many Member States. In particular, Big Tech would be able to use all personal data collected over the past decades with virtually no restrictions, as long as this happens “in the context” of AI. Schrems: “Under these proposals, the profits of AI companies would trump European’s fundamental right to privacy. This is nothing but a digital expropriation of Europeans.” All this is happening despite the key figures of AI corporations actively warn about the enormous risks associated with their own products.

When Croton-on-Hudson’s youngest students returned to school earlier this month, a familiar — and increasingly controversial — classroom tool was missing from their desks: iPads.

A new districtwide policy prohibits the devices in kindergarten through second grade with few exceptions. Instead, teachers are emphasizing traditional, hands-on learning through activities like games, puzzles, and pen-and-paper assignments.

The screen-free classrooms arrived after a grassroots effort from local parents in Croton-on-Hudson, an affluent, highly educated suburban village on the Hudson River, 40 miles north of Manhattan.

Formed in July 2025, the Croton Community Collective has amassed more than 400 local members, built a network of parents who’ve tried to give their children a screen-free childhood, reshaped the school board, and secured several changes limiting the use of educational technology in instruction

It’s part of a larger push by the community, where many parents have pledged to delay giving their children smart phones. Volunteers have stocked scores of local businesses with boxes of books and magazines, so that kids have a screen-free way to pass the time while waiting for a haircut or sitting at a diner. And over 100 families have installed landlines in their homes to help children stay connected sans cell phones.
