Far from protecting children, Illinois’ HB 5511 will effectively dismantle online anonymity, jeopardize data security, and severely restrict access to constitutionally protected speech for young people and adults alike. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/eff-gov-pritzker-veto-illinois-hb-5511

I'm glad Ruffle does such a good job. There would have been so much weird classic homemade Flash that would have been lost. Homestar Runner forever!

@fluffy They won!

sony got community noted btw

Took care of the bee hive yesterday. It was probably not the best day to go outside in a bee suit. After I got out all the frames and took off the bee suit, my shirt 100% drenched in sweat. I drank two cups of water, laid down on the couch and thought I was going to die 😩 ... Then I finally got up and mowed the lawn.

@sendpaws But wait, there's more!

Over 100 Flock cameras that were set to "go dark" at the end of June after city council voted to shut them down...

The contract is expired.
The elected body said no.
Nobody re-authorized it.
Flock won't say what it's doing with the data.

...but the cameras are STILL ON and being used by police.

@PurpCat @phnt i don't think ir's greed, inflation is going crazy and i think they struggle making cheap cars with current regulations

sony fucked up so hard even the furry sex toy companies are making jokes at their expense

Fun drinking game: Take a shot for every anti-libertarian US state or federal bill that has the words "protect", "kids", "child", "parent" or "terrorism" in it. Most participants die before arriving to the hospital.

@PurpCat eh wait why the fuck are redditors thinking its fucked up to shoot up a russian airport?
i thought they relish in the suffering of the russian people that they never even met

I copied roms back when the SNES was the big system. Physical carts are just a medium to hold intangible data. Being able to make copies and use those copies is the real key.

Within the next week, Congress is preparing to vote on the KIDS Act, a sprawling package of legislation that seeks to control Americans’ web browsing and private messaging.

"Meta Loses Bid To Dismiss US States' Claims That Facebook, Instagram Addict Children

They also ruled that Meta failed to comply with federal parental notice and consent requirements for children under 13, 'and granted summary judgement to the states on that issue,' reports Reuters.

In a separate statement, California Attorney General Rob Bonta called the decision a 'critical win' in holding Meta accountable for fueling a mental health crisis among American children. "

Whatever happened to parental responsibility? I mean seriously. If Facebook and all these platforms are a 'health crisis' it's not the platforms that are to blame. This isn't an issue of negligence or foreseeable danger, but a problem any parent can see to whatever degree it's a problem with a given child. It's the parents responsibility to whatever degree any parent(s) feel it's impacting their children in a negative or harmful way to separate that product/service/etc from use by their kid.

It's not the state's responsibility and it's certainly not Facebooks.

Stop using YouTube and Facebook and similar platforms as your babysitter. This is no different than the 90s parents who let their kids watch 'too much' TV and then would blame television for their self-inflicted problems. Don't like what is on TV? Turn the TV off.

I don't like Facebook either, but I don't blame Facebook for my personal problems. I take responsibility for my problems and don't use Facebok (fictional in the sense that I would never use Facebook in the first place so it makes it a bit difficult to be addicted to Facebook, point being if Mastodon was an 'addiction' ... I'd stop using it too!).

Rember 13 years ago when Sony mocked Microsoft for not having physical games?
