firefox and forks (im a fan of floorp, despite the ridiculous name) have been getting pretty long in the tooth and ive had a lot of issues with video stuttering esp with two or more going at once. you might not watch youtube videos despite already having a path of exile and politics stream going and want it all to work smoothly on your beefy computer, but I do! hoping this helps with my situation, as it probably will, I have found good vulkan implementations of anything that offers it to be quite an improvement in every case.

Submission + - Supreme Court Sides With Trump Admin On Federal Regulation of Telecom Companies (apnews.com)

An anonymous reader writes: The Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration Thursday in upholding the power of federal regulators to enforce data privacy laws on telecommunications companies. The 8-1 decision preserved one of the Federal Communications Commission’s key tools, though the companies also won a concession from the Republican administration that could shift the regulatory landscape.

The appeal from telecommunications giants Verizon and AT&T challenged a combined $100 million in penalties imposed after the agency determined that the companies had failed to safeguard customer location data. The companies argued that the FCC’s process was unconstitutional because it gave them little opportunity to tell their side of the story in front of a jury. The administration defended the fines are an essential regulatory tool. But the government also said companies did not have to pay the penalties right away, a regulatory shift in the companies’ favor.

The Supreme Court agreed, affirming the FCC’s power to order fines when challenges are still available. “The orders at issue did not settle the carriers’ legal obligations because, stated simply, they did not create an obligation to pay,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority. [...] Other agencies use similar enforcement methods, so a sweeping victory for AT&T and Verizon could have had widespread effects, advocates said.

there's no such thing as a "digital millenia act" but the DMCA doesn't apply either, as it's a parody song which has different rules. while i am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice, the standards are pretty clearly met in this case as it is substantially transformed as political and social commentary.

Notepad++ claims to have been targeted by a state actor, given their previous stance on Uyghurs one can speculate about a candidate.

considering he seems to think Uyghur is like, a person, and thus China doesn't really give a sh!t about his mindless parroting of us state department propaganda, gonna go ahead and say it was Israel
