The Republicans in Congress could stop all of this at any time. They choose not to. They support it, even if they say otherwise.
Trump will be Trump, but we need to direct our anger at the rest of his party as well, for not holding him accountable. I hope enough people realize this in November.
I’m old enough to remember the Leisure Suit Larry series that used age verification by asking questions that kids probably wouldn’t know (obviously this was long before the internet).
Debian - the very slight value hassle of having to install the web blobs for glances manually. This is really minor, because it only comes up occasionally, but it’s rare enough that I can’t remember what the path is each time.
That said, I totally agree with Debian’s stance on the issue, and I think glances should change their process. Debian’s way makes me acknowledge the risk of installing the blob. It’d be nice if there was a package I could install after going, yep, I know this is potentially dangerous.
Honestly I thought I’d be disappointed with Debian on my gaming machine, but it works fine. I updated Wine to the newer version on their site (instead of using Debian’s packages), and it works great.

Did you see that he’s fighting the new law in Wisconsin that makes it illegal for AI create nudes of children? And everyone else, of course, but as far as I can tell, there wasn’t even a hint of “Oh, yeah, that ability probably isn’t a good thing” from Musk. Nope, just wants the law removed.
Walz called him a creep.
Republicans, of course, are suddenly very quiet about “states rights”, something they usually claim to vigorously support. Instead, they want Trump to issue an order preventing such state-level laws against AI.
Because the people he supported won.

Running out of names, Canonical?
