It is lovely that Nebula is AI-free as well as ad-free tbh. It’s like YouTube but good.
Completely AI-free and devoid of slop, I think we've managed to build a platform which very much *isn't* designed to keep you swiping and scrolling, but wants you to find something you actually want to watch as fast as possible.
Which I guess is the ultimate side benefit of being ad free.

An exit strategy with preservation in place for when support is ended and for example where online servers are shut down. How will players be able to continue enjoying the game after you no longer support it? Open sourcing code, allowing for private servers without reverse engineering etc.

"As someone working in law, it’s heresy to say this, and it might even kill my chances of a career... But as a trans person, and someone fighting for the rights of my community, I refuse to remain silent. To me it just seems obvious: a heavily prejudiced society produces prejudiced institutions."
It’s no surprise that only 31% of trans people trust a legal system built to enforce prejudice, says Jess O’Thomson.

"I’m a Japanese American with strong ties to my family in Japan and the existential threat of nuclear weapons is not lost on me, as my family has been directly impacted,” Amber Fellows, a Ypsilanti Township councilmember who led the charge in opposition to the data center, told 404 Media.

So Trump pardoning more people just now, including Rudy
usually pardons like that come near the end of a term
unless they're in court or in prison or shit
and Trump doesn't usually care about others so I don't think he'd care if he died and left them in a lurch
so what's up with that

Weird request: in July @amnestyuk.bsky.social said they’d done a report on anti-rights groups in the UK
Does anyone have a copy of that report?
Their website only has this blog summarising it, not the report itself. News articles about it also only link the blog. I wanna read the full report!

Over 14,000 Starbucks workers have unionized since 2021, but they still don’t have a union contract because of Starbucks’ stalling.
That’s why we, @jayapal.house.gov, & over 80 Members of Congress are calling on Starbucks to stop union-busting & reach a contract with @sbworkersunited.org

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

with the end of the shutdown looming, here's my look for @wired.com into what life has been like for EPA employees over the past five weeks: little to no heads up about who was getting furloughed next, important projects getting put on the back burner while deregulation moves forward:
The EPA Is in Chaos
“We learn who is furloughed when we send an email to someone and get the out-of-office message,” one employee tells WIRED.
