Senators are asking ICANN to #SaveDotOrg from being sold to private equity firm Ethos Capital, saying that "the proposed sale of .ORG is against the public interest" https://www.warren.senate.gov/oversight/letters/lawmakers-urge-internet-governing-body-to-block-private-equity-firm-ethos-capital-from-taking-over-the-org-internet-domain-name-registry
I have a relatively new HP laptop on Windows 10 (for SolidWorks and a few other things I need for school) and about two weeks ago Microsoft kindly informed me that my hardware is not supported by Windows, so now I don't get any patches or security updates. Gotta love Microsoft.
One more reason why I use my 12 year old thinkpad with Linux as my primary machine.

Proposal: Narrative escalation across board games. If a successful accusation is made in Clue, the game doesn’t end; instead, the accused gets a two-roll head start in a foot race to an exit. If they make it out of the building, now you’re playing Scotland Yard.

Books: you own the physical copies, there's no subscription fee, they don't require an internet connection, their batteries won't die on you, you can share them with your friends without committing a crime, most people can rent them for free, and you don't need to subscribe to multiple streaming services to find the ones you want.
I really don't see how the state of California thinks this is a good idea.

On December 31, 1995, Bill Watterson published the final 'Calvin & Hobbes' comic strip. For most of us, it was like watching our absolute best friend ever move to another continent! The hole in our hearts is still felt even now! https://t.co/i2ygP9RRPx

I'm not a huge fan of Tesla or Elon Musk in general but I kind of like the cybertruck
Pianobar in Termux on Lineage OS is way too much fun! (And this is less risky than autoplay in NewPipe) 🎵
