  • Stephen Miller Wants To Take A Hard Look At Banning Travelers Who Happen To Be Pregnant

    Jump

  • As an added "bonus", the jerks could also use the airport pregnancy tests to keep pregnant women from traveling to somewhere they could get an abortion.

  • Amazon sued in Australia after Prime subscribers were made to pay more to remove ads

    Jump

  • Good. They should have added an ad-supported tier people could opt in to, like everybody else did, instead of changing the existing tier to be ad-supported and requiring people to pay extra to opt out.

  • Court allows Trump to fire FTC commissioner and overturns major restraint on presidential power

    Jump

  • Need to un-MAGA the Supreme Court first or they'll rule in favor of any suit challenging that law.

  • They showed me their paint, isnt it good, American Blue

  • If it were real the prices would start at $250, for the US's 250th birthday.

  • US supreme court rules Trump’s firing of Lisa Cook from Fed was unconstitutional

    Jump

  • Yeah. The article doesn't say anything about the dissenting opinions, but I think the 4 who dissented on the Fed case might have just been honest enough to say there's no legal reason to treat it differently from the FTC.

  • US supreme court rules Trump’s firing of Lisa Cook from Fed was unconstitutional

    Jump

  • The court was largely expected to go against Trump on this one because even they should understand that letting him mess with the Fed would be bad for their money, and it was still 5-4.

  • Newsom Claims to Support National Tax on Billionaires While Opposing It in CA

    Jump

  • The tax proposed in California is a one-time thing. Any billionaires that end up paying it will almost certainly see their wealth increase by what they paid and then some by the time Newsom is in a position to implement a national tax (and he probably won't do it). Newsom's tax is not a reason not to go ahead with California's tax.

  • It’s Been Two Years Since the Supreme Court Made Homelessness a Crime. The Result Speaks for Itself.

    Jump

  • I think what I've read about the less obvious aspect of that is when homeless people have mental health issues and other problems, it's often assumed that if they get housing their issues will have them homeless again before too long, but housing can actually give their lives enough stability that the issues may go away.

  • Weapons fire doesn't seem to be nearly as much of a challenge to a ceasefire as it ought to be these days.

  • I haven't seen the customers named, but Apple finally increasing prices makes me think they're one of them.

  • Epic Games CEO says it’s ‘really irresponsible’ of Steam to make studios disclose AI use | VGC - 25th Jun 2026

    Jump

  • Steam lets developers include a description of the AI use, not just whether they used AI. This is the "AI Generated Content Disclosure" for Stellaris:

    The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

    We employ generative AI technologies during the creation of some assets. Typically this involves the ideation of content and visual reference material. These elements represent a minor component of the overall development. AI has been used to generate voices for an AI antagonist and a player advisor.

  • Does VLC have a way to skip only exactly past the opening theme for shows?

    Jump

  • If your files have chapters there might be a chapter that starts right after the theme and you could use the Next Chapter button to skip ahead. If there aren't chapters you could add them yourself.

  • Deep Space Nine has everything you could want.

  • It was Prodigy, not Picard. Wes wasn't in the last season of Picard, and I can't even remember him being mentioned even though his family was a big part of the season.

  • Windows 10 support quietly extended until Oct 2027, as users reject Windows 11

    Jump

  • They may need to extend it even further than that if PC prices haven't started coming back down by 2028.

  • massgrave can activate 3 years ESU on regular Enterprise for people who want things IoT LTSC is missing, like WMR. I've got Enterprise alongside Bazzite and when the updates run out I'll either switch to IoT LTSC or nuke Windows altogether.

  • Boffin Claims Microsoft's 'Quantum Leap' Is Invalid Due To 'Basic Python Errors'

    Jump

  • No, it's a British term The Register uses a lot. From Wikipedia:

    Boffin is a British slang term for a scientist, engineer, or other person engaged in technical or scientific research and development. A "boffin" was viewed by some in the regular military or government services as odd, quirky or peculiar, though quite bright and essential to helping in the war effort through having and developing the key ideas leading to transformative military capabilities.

  • Postmaster General Confirms Plan to Hold Back Mail Ballots in States that won’t Share Voter Data

    Jump

  • Earlier this year the Supreme Court just happened to rule that USPS can't be sued for not delivering mail.

    A divided Supreme Court sided with the federal government on Tuesday in U.S. Postal Service v. Konan, a dispute over mishandled mail. Writing for a 5-4 majority, Justice Clarence Thomas explained that a law protecting the U.S. Postal Service from lawsuits over lost or miscarried mail bars lawsuits over mail that was intentionally misdelivered.

    On Tuesday, the court sided with the government, holding that an intentional failure to deliver the mail falls within the FTCA’s postal exception. The ordinary meanings of both “miscarriage” and “loss” point the court to this conclusion, wrote Thomas in the majority opinion. “Because a ‘miscarriage’ includes any failure of mail to arrive properly, a person experiences a miscarriage of mail when his mail is delivered to his neighbor, held at the post office, or returned to the sender—regardless of why it happened,” he wrote. Similarly, “[w]hen Congress enacted the FTCA, the ‘loss’ of mail ordinarily meant a deprivation of mail, regardless of how the deprivation was brought about.”

  • "Boffin" made me think the slashdot post is about a post at The Register, and sure enough, it is.

  • Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open

  • Apple could use higher quality drives, or have to pay a premium for being weird and buying controller-less drives, but yes, a big part of the difference is probably just higher profit margins.

    Apple raised prices on a bunch of stuff today, and the iPad Pro upgrade is now £900.
