  • Palantir CEO Says Making War Crimes Constitutional Would Be Good for Business

    Jump

  • Also: Does Palantir have a PR department to tell him how this stuff reflects on the company? Cuz it's baaad.

  • Verified by Spotify: New No AI badge— it appears for creators with steady listener activity, clean platform records, and real-world proof like live shows or merch drops

    Jump

  • And with Artist Profile Protection (currently in beta), artists now have greater control over what appears on their profile, which helps to ensure the music you see is coming from them.

    From the Artist Profile Protection link:

    Music has been landing on the wrong artist pages across streaming services, and the rise of easy-to-produce AI tracks has made the problem worse. That’s not the experience we want artists to have on Spotify, and that’s why we’ve made protecting artist identity a top priority for 2026. Today, we’re announcing a first-of-its-kind solution to a problem that’s affected streaming for years.

    How the hell is that something that is only in beta in 2026 and not a standard feature? It's currently optional, but they better automatically opt in verified "No AI" artists if the label is going to be worth anything. There should not be AI-generated songs from randos getting attached to a "No AI" artist.

  • windows is using steamOs as their gaming performance goal

  • Besides the data collection angle, Microsoft wants gamers on Windows instead of Linux so that there's at least a chance they'll buy games from the Microsoft Store.

  • Windows Update will also be improved, with the goal of making Windows 11 reliable enough so that a restart is only necessary once a month.

    This isn't just a matter of Windows 11 reliability, it'll take big improvements in Microsoft's quality control to stop needing to follow the monthly updates with emergency patches and hotfixes.

  • Google Signs Pentagon AI Deal Despite Employee Backlash

    Jump

  • Google's bound to do more layoffs, and any employee backlash to anything is mostly going to help management make up the list.

  • Separating from Canada Would Be an Economic Disaster for Alberta

    Jump

  • The thing that really gets me is, Alberta doesn't like how hard it is to build a pipeline that would run into other provinces, and how in the world is being a separate country supposed to help with that? Do they think building across an international border will be easier than building across an interprovincial one?

    Canada Just Opened North America's First Battery-Grade Lithium Refinery

    Jump

  • The title just wasn't specific enough. The summary says "North America's first commercial electrochemical lithium refinery", and Tesla's refinery doesn't seem to be electrochemical, so this is still the first of that specific type.

  • Top 10 countries with the lowest racial diversity

    Jump

  • Comoros isn't highlighted (it's too small)

  • Dr Douchebag to med bay

    Jump

  • And the last episode with the Trill looking like that.

  • Not a good sign

    Jump

  • There's a whole lot of Canada south of the tundra. We don't need to make the north "useful" at the expense of the rest of the country.

  • Massive Attack, IDLES, Kneecap and more sign No Music for Genocide open letter boycotting Eurovision

    Jump

  • Russia is banned because of its invasion of Ukraine. Not banning Israel for similar actions is political.

  • ‘Israel never talked me into the war with Iran,’ Trump says

    Jump

  • Obviously Israel talked him into the war and told him to deny it.

  • Michigan refuses to hand over 2024 election ballots to Trump administration

    Jump

  • The article doesn't mention that Trump won Michigan in 2024. What is he even looking for?

  • If you use a VPN that support Wireguard configs(like ProtonVPN or Mullvad) you can use Wireguard official client to connect in the most efficient and secure way instead of the VPN provider client

    Jump

  • This is especially handy on immutable Linux distros like Bazzite in cases where your provider's client is only officially available as a .deb or .rpm and you don't want to get in to layering.

  • When you notice an awful lot of usernames on here with "Captain" and "Major", but can't remember them ever being "Lieutenant"...

    Jump

  • The Captains I see here are usually Starfleet, not US Army.

  • Ontario purchases $28.9M private jet for Doug Ford’s ‘extensive travel’

    Jump

  • CBC's article brings up another questionable aspect of this:

    NoJetsTO, a citizen group that opposes the province's plans to take over Billy Bishop airport from the city’s jurisdiction to allow jets to land at the island airport, alleged in a statement the province's move coinciding with the Challenger 650's purchase isn't "a coincidence."

    “For eight years Premier Ford has not said a single word about the island airport, and suddenly he’s hell bent on expand the airport to allow him to fly Gravy Plane jet from there," Chair Norm Di Pasquale said in the statement.

    "Ford continues to make decisions affecting Torontonians with the sole focus of him being able to get to work and his fundraisers across Ontario faster."

  • Trump Humiliates ICE Barbie With Bombshell Reversal

    Jump

  • They think Trump nominating someone she fired is going to embarrass her? Have they forgotten the stuff about her husband already? This is nothing compared to that.

  • Linux Mint Targets Christmas 2026 for Next Major Release

    Jump

  • It might have been nice to have Mint 23 out closer to the totally-for-real-this-time end of Windows 10 updates in October, but it takes as long as it takes, I suppose.

    The articles says Mint 23 will include "Cinnamon 6.7-unstable", and I hope that's just what it currently is, and not that it's expected to still be unstable in December.
