Days after the killing of Renee Good, Stephen Miller and DHS began bragging that ICE agents have immunity from being held accountable.
There's a bill sitting in Congress that would end that immunity - and Democrats could right now use their sudden leverage to force its passage.

How Dems Could End Immunity For ICE Agents
Steven Miller and DHS are bragging that ICE agents have immunity. Democratic senators could change that by conditioning their votes on passage of a bill already in Congress.David Sirota (Sirota)

Linux Desktop is Fragmented (And That's NOT a Bad Thing)
Linux desktop is often described as fragmented, but with the right perspective, it becomes clear that this description only makes sense if you see Linux as a single, unified product, and expect it act like one. It isn't, and so it doesn't.Roland Taylor (It's FOSS)
Assuming there are about 3 billion computer users, it is highly unlikely that they are all satisfied with the same harmonious system or desktop, or that it meets all the requirements of all these users.
And it is absolutely dangerous when one monopolist or two corporations have control over all these people. Accordingly, it should be a concern of all people that there are numerous solutions.
Where did southern Australiaโs record-breaking heatwave come from?
...This is shaping up as the worst heatwave since the Black Summer of 2019-20. The intense heat that summer contributed to catastrophic bushfires which burnt 21% of the continentโs forests, an area still considered globally unprecedented.
Independent analysis found the last heatwave between January 5 to 10 was made over five times more likely by global heating. This current heatwave is substantially worse, but weโll have to wait for attribution studies to understand how much global heating has contributed to its overall severity....

sometimes when i feel my code has too many confusing states, i like to stop, take a deep breath, and open the MSDN page for the MsoTrioState enum.
MsoTrioState is "a tri-state Boolean value". it has five possible values. only two of them are supported.
the only supported values are true and false.

UK lawsuit against Valve given the go-ahead, Steam owner facing up to ยฃ656 million in damages
Valve, creator of Steam, now face legal action in the UK as a lawsuit has been given the go-ahead that could result in up to ยฃ656 million in damages.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Valve being a consumer darling and pushing hard against Microsoft's PC gaming monopoly doesn't mean they can't do wrong.
I don't know enough to have an opinion in this case, but I hope it will be ruled in favor of the law.
AI pull requests are making people feel crazy.
Summary: An AI bot called "Claude" posts "pull requests" (suggestions to fix and improve open source projects) on GitHub. Users are also submitting AI generated pulls and it's wasting the time of the people who need to check and approve or reject these "improvements."
In the world of GitHub doing 'pull requests' gives devs a bit of status, but AI has upended this system and destroyed trust and annoyed many people.

Most striking in this video was the plea that people "get to know the project and the people" --
Open issues, known bugs, feature requests... it's like some people think that you could just run AI and close them all and the development would be done. But software development is a conversation: something people do together, code is just the medium.
It's like saying "I have solved birthdays since birthday bot will give everyone a cupcake and card automatically."
No you ruined birthdays.
