Submission + - Russia Orders Google to Pay $1.2 Quintillion (united24media.com) 1
AmiMoJo writes: Russia’s Supreme Court has upheld a ruling ordering Google to pay an extraordinary 91.5 quintillion rubles (about $1.2 quintillion)—a figure roughly one million times larger than the global gross domestic product, according to court materials, The Moscow Times reported on February 18. The Moscow Arbitration Court set the final penalty of 91.5 quintillion rubles ($1.2 quintillion) in spring 2025. For comparison, the World Bank estimates total global GDP at roughly $100 trillion, making the court-ordered sum vastly larger than the value of the entire world economy.
The legal dispute dates back to 2020, when pro-Kremlin media outlets Tsargrad and RIA FAN sued Google entities—including Google LLC, Google Ireland, and the Russian subsidiary “Google”—demanding restoration of their blocked YouTube accounts.
Russian courts sided with the plaintiffs, but Google did not comply with the ruling. Judges then imposed a progressive daily penalty that began at 100,000 rubles (about $1,315) and doubled each week the decision remained unenforced.

Submission + - We can move beyond the capitalist model and save the climate (theguardian.com) 4
votsalo writes: Jason Hickel and Yanis Varoufakis write:
Our existing economic system is incapable of addressing the social and ecological crises we face in the 21st century.
The purpose [of capital] is to maximise and accumulate profit. That is the overriding objective. This is the capitalist law of value.
There are three necessary conditions for the transformation of our economy from a dead-end dictatorship into a functioning and ecologically sound democratic one.
These are their three conditions, epigrammatically:
- A new financial architecture
- Extensive use of deliberative democracy
- Corporate Reform that favours and promotes the formation of companies run along the lines of one employee, one share, one vote.
We live in a shadow of the world we could create. A world in which we shall be able to avert an almost certain ecological collapse, rather than waiting around for capitalism to push us beyond the point of no return. A world where the abolition of economic insecurity, precarity, poverty, unemployment and indignity is possible, while we lead meaningful lives within planetary boundaries. This is not a distant dream. It is a tangible prospect.
Submission + - Bill Introduced to Drop West Virginia's CS HS Graduation Requirement
theodp writes: West Virginia lawmakers on Tuesday introduced House Bill 5387, which would repeal the state's recently enacted mandatory stand-alone computer science graduation requirement and replace it with a new computer literacy proficiency requirement. Not too surprisingly, the Bill is being opposed by tech-backed nonprofit Code.org, which lobbied for the WV CS graduation requirement just last year. Code.org recently pivoted its mission to emphasize the importance of teaching AI education alongside traditional CS, teaming up with tech CEOs and leaders last year to launch a national campaign to mandate CS and AI courses as graduation requirements.
"It would basically turn the standalone computer science course requirement into a computer literacy proficiency requirement that's more focused on digital literacy," lamented Code.org as it discussed the Bill in a Wednesday conference call with members of the Code.org Advocacy Coalition, including reps from Microsoft's Education and Workforce Policy team. "It's mostly motivated by a variety of different issues coming from local superintendents concerned about, you know, teachers thinking that students don't need to learn how to code and other things. So, we are addressing all of those. We are talking with the chair and vice chair of the committee a week from today to try to see if we can nip this in the bud." Concerns were also raised on the call about how widespread the desire for more computing literacy proficiency (over CS) might be, as well as about legislators who are associating AI literacy more with digital literacy than CS.
The proposed move from a narrower CS focus to a broader goal of computer literacy proficiency in WV schools comes just months after the UK's Department for Education announced a similar curriculum pivot to broader digital literacy, abandoning the narrower 'rigorous CS' focus that was adopted more than a decade ago in response to a push by a 'grassroots' coalition that included Google, Microsoft, UK charities, and other organizations.

Submission + - Is Linux Mint burning out? Developers consider longer release cycle (nerds.xyz)
BrianFagioli writes: The Linux Mint developers say they are considering adopting a longer development cycle, arguing that the projectâ(TM)s current six month cadence plus LMDE releases leaves too little room for deeper work. In a recent update, the team reflected on its incremental philosophy, independence from upstream decisions like Snap, and heavy investment in Cinnamon and XApp. While the release process âoeworks very wellâ and delivers steady improvements, they admit it consumes significant time in testing, fixing, and shipping, potentially capping ambition.
Mintâ(TM)s next release will be based on a new Ubuntu LTS, and the team says it is seriously interested in stretching the development window. The stated goal is to free up resources for more substantial development rather than constant release management. Whether this signals bigger technical changes or simply acknowledges bandwidth limits for a small team remains unclear, but it marks a notable rethink of one of desktop Linuxâ(TM)s most consistent release rhythms.

Submission + - Albany lawmakers want to freeze data centers for three years, and thatâ(TM) (nerds.xyz)
BrianFagioli writes: New York lawmakers have introduced a bill that would freeze permits for new large data centers for at least three years while the state studies their environmental, energy, and utility impacts. The proposal targets facilities using 20 megawatts of power or more and would pause approvals statewide while regulators prepare a broad environmental impact study and rewrite rules governing energy use, water consumption, and grid costs.
Supporters argue the pause is needed to protect ratepayers and meet climate goals, but critics warn it could push data center investment, tech jobs, and AI infrastructure to other states. Rather than setting clear requirements and letting compliant projects move forward, the bill creates years of uncertainty around permitting in a sector that underpins cloud computing and modern digital services, raising questions about whether New York is choosing caution or simply opting out of the next wave of infrastructure growth.

fjo3 writes: Bitcoin sank below $67,000 on Thursday as investor confidence continued to falter in the asset once hailed as “digital gold” and a unique store of value.
Digital assets, including bitcoin, have fallen deeper into the red as investors re-assess the practical utility of a token that has been championed not only as a hedge against inflation and macroeconomic uncertainties but also as an alternative to fiat currencies and traditional safe-havens such as gold.
