Well no, it's not just entertainment. News is in the deal also, specifically CBS and CNN.

Well if they even just brought CBS and CNN more towards center and away from left...that might even things up more....the left will still have NBC, ABC, MSNOW (or whatever they go by now) and most of the major news papers and other new sources.

A bit more balance would be nice.

More evidence has been presented publicly that Trump fucked kids than was necessary to convict Cosby or Weinstein. There are more accusers, too.

Citations please?

Surely there are valid new stories about such by major networks, major news sources?

Submission + - No Warrant, No Suspicion, No Problem (reason.com)

fjo3 writes: Part of the bedrock of American civil liberties is the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable searches. There is no right to privacy, and no due process in the justice system, without that. But immigration authorities, cops, and courts keep deciding that, for some reason, the Fourth Amendment just doesn't apply where new technology is concerned.

Submission + - Students are suddenly losing interest in computer science as AI coding takes off (nerds.xyz)

BrianFagioli writes: For years, students were told that learning to code was one of the safest paths into a lucrative technology career. New data suggests that message may be losing some of its pull. Nova Learning says the share of surveyed middle and high school students naming Computer Science and AI as their primary academic interest fell from 42.3 percent in 2025 to 27.9 percent in 2026, while Engineering rose from 11.9 percent to 23 percent. The biggest gains came from Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, while Software and Data Science saw a steep drop.

The survey is not nationally representative, but broader enrollment data points in the same direction. The National Student Clearinghouse Research Center reported declines in Computer and Information Science enrollment at four year institutions, even as Engineering grew. AI coding tools are not proven to be the cause, but as software development changes and AI handles more coding tasks, students may be starting to rethink what a future in technology should look like.

You think that's baffling, what about all of the people who voted for Trump twice, after they already knew he fucks kids?

People keep repeating that nonsense about kids a Trump lately.....with no proof whatsoever .

I mean, where do you get that? There's no idicement or charges or any evidence anyone has brought forward.

If it were even remotely true....do you not think the Dems when in power under Biden would not have ensnared him with even charges on that?

Time-based One Time Password. You and the server have a copy of a shared secret. The secret combined with the current UTC time (in blocks of 30 seconds typically) is hashed to produce a 4 digit code that you enter as a second authentication factor. Without the secret, even knowing the current TOTP code isn't enough for you to predict future ones.

Thank you!!

I guess this hasn't made it to the US yet.....

Parents are fucking useless at protecting kids

Back a few decades ago, when the nuclear family was the norm, and was fully supported by society AND govt.....you had better parents and better child outcomes by far.....kids do better with a mother and a father to raise them.

I grew up in that era.....and my generation has faired quite well.....we also were able to give kids freedom to be kids, learn independence, etc....no such thing as helicopter parents.

It's standard here in Iceland. *Everything* verifies via the phone, using the same authorization mechanism (SIM-based wireless PKI). The service sends out a special-coded SMS, which gets intercepted and routed to a SIM that has cryptographic applet flashed into it, which triggers a system-level authorization popup for you to confirm (the popup displays a verification code which was included by the site, so you see the same code on both the site and your popup), and which you can then confirm (with your PIN) or reject.

Wow...interesting.

I've never heard of such things...separate apps for verification, etc.

Hey, whatever rules/laws you want in your country, more power to you, but I thank GOD that in my free country the govt cannot do this.....written into the foundational constitution.

But hey....you do you.
