I had no idea they lost the rights to their own music. After all they did for the industry, that's some seriously fucked up shit! Glad they got it back, but sad it took this long.

The www has already gone to shit anyway thanks to SEO bullshit websites and AI generated garbage. Most of my online interactions are via applications these days. The more these companies ruin the www the less I find myself using a web browser.

Nothing more will happen. The big defense contractors get a free pass because they are the funnel that brings money into the US from countries like Israel, Saudi Arabia, Afganistan, etc. The billion dollar fine is theatre so the few americans that are even paying attention won't make a stink.

I've been using Brave. I don't think there are any extensions that I'm using that I couldn't live without. Ad blocking is built in, so I don't foresee this effecting me much if at all.

In general I don't care. I too have come to realize that I'm autistic. It's a shame that I didn't understand this until my 40's.
I have found though that I will care if it's a topic I am also interested in. Babies don't interest me, and in fact annoy me. So that one is out. Most life events, don't care.
Vacation stuff? Ok now I'm listening because I do like to travel and I may learn something. Wanna discuss engineering? We could go for hours.
I guess the threshold is, will I get anything out of this conversation? Which, maybe is selfish, maybe it's autism, I donno. I'm happy that you're happy about the thing but if I'm being honest with myself I don't care unless it effects me.
That's specific to the topics OP is describing and not all conversations. If someone is in need of guidance of something I'm happy to share my knowledge. I am fortunately not a narcissist.

What's more disgusting is that cell providers have data caps on tethering. Why the fuck it should matter if I'm using one device via another or how that's even their business is beyond me. If I'm paying for data, just give me what I'm paying for. It shouldn't matter how it's distributed on my own private network/devices.
AT&T and T-Mobile both lost hundreds/thousands of dollars from me because I canceled due to this nonsense.

Does anybody know if Arizona Sunshine 2 supports cross-play between different platforms? e.g. Can players on Quest/Pico/Steam play together?
It's on sale on Steam and Pico (I assume it's cross platform) but I don't want to waste my money if it's all just children on there.
Anyone else having problems with the UI in landscape? Pressing the hamburger menu crashes the app entirely. Other elements sometimes acts like the Back button. Yet everything works perfectly in portrait.
These have been in beta testing for awhile. I'm not sure if they're supposed to be for sale yet but I'm seeing a few sellers on AliExpress offering them for around $60. VRChat just released on Pico about a week ago. I don't know if support for these has been implemented yet. Please comment if you have any insight!

As of 3 November, according to Ministry of Health data, 2326 women and 3760 children have been killed in the Gaza strip, representing 67% of all casualties, while thousands more have been injured. This means that 420 children are killed or injured every day, some of them only a few months old.

It runs better than expected, although the resolution seems a bit low. Hopefully they can bump that up a bit.

Lubbock County, Texas, joins a group of other rural Texas counties that have voted to ban women from using their roads to seek abortions. This comes after six cities and counties in Texas have passed abortion-related bans, out of nine that have considered them. However, this ordinance makes Lubbock the biggest jurisdiction yet to pass restrictions on abortion-related transportation. During Monday's meeting, the Lubbock County Commissioners Court passed an ordinance banning abortion, abortion-inducing drugs and travel for abortion in the unincorporated areas of Lubbock County, declaring Lubbock County a "Sanctuary County for the Unborn." The ordinance is part of a continued strategy by conservative activists to further restrict abortion since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade as the ordinances are meant to bolster Texas' existing abortion ban, which allows private citizens to sue anyone who provides or "aids or abets" an abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. The ordinance, which was introduced to the court last Wednesday, was passed by a vote of 3-0 with commissioners Terence Kovar, Jason Corley and Jordan Rackler, all Republicans, voting to pass the legislation while County Judge Curtis Parrish, Republican, and Commissioner Gilbert Flores, Democrat, abstained from the vote.

The water level at a major river port in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest hit its lowest point in at least 121 years on Monday, as a historic drought upends the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and damages the jungle ecosystem. Rapidly drying tributaries to the mighty Amazon river have left boats stranded, cutting off food and water supplies to remote jungle villages, while high water temperatures are suspected of killing more than 100 endangered river dolphins. The port in Manaus, the region’s most populous city located where the Negro river meets the Amazon river, recorded a water level of 13.59 meters on Monday, according to its website. That’s the lowest level since records began in 1902, passing a previous all-time low set in 2010. Some areas of the Amazon have seen the lowest rain levels from July to September since 1980, according to the Brazilian government disaster alert center Cemaden.

These are the same mosquitos that pass lyme and other diseases. They're all over the world where there are tropical climates. This is relevant because climate change is making more areas suitable for these insects to live and breed. As those areas expand, the human population is going to have to change infrastructure to compensate. Any surface where water can stand for a length of time is a breeding ground for mosquitos. Many parts of the world don't have safeguards like screens over windows and such to prevent insects from entering homes.
