We’re going to miss Lina Khan’s FTC action and the Dem FCC, among so many other things. Watch for those internet bills to go up and get more confusing. Goodbye EPA. Farewell DOE and our children’s future.

At least a few states codified womens’ choice!

Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili has refused to sign into law a bill approved by parliament last month that rights groups and many opposition politicians say drastically curbs the rights of the country’s LGBT community.

The so-called “family values” bill was pushed through parliament by the ruling Georgian Dream party on September 17 in an 84-0 vote, which was boycotted by the opposition while rallies were being held by protesters outside the parliament building.

In line with the provisions of the Georgian Constitution, Zurabishvili refused to endorse the bill and returned it to parliament without written comments, the presidential administration **confirmed **to RFE/RL on October 2.

The move highlights the dramatically polarized political landscape in the Caucasus nation ahead of national elections in October.

Parliament speaker Shalva Papuashvili, a co-sponsor of the bill and member of the Georgian Dream is now expected to sign the bill into law and publish it within five days.

Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee features coconut ice cream with swirls of caramel and red, white and blue star-shaped sprinkles. The flavor is inspired by a viral meme, in which Harris, during a speech at the White House, uttered the now-viral quote, “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?”

I stand corrected. “Particularized,” strikes again…

TIL that it’s apparently not racial discrimination if you do it sparingly.

Yeah!

Shouldn’t have [checks notes] exercised their rights.

And many, many mobile apps out there, except this one is the bad one, because: China.

My point is that meaningful privacy legislation would stop all apps from doing this with our data, but we have legislators who only pretend to care if a bogeyman has access to the data, and forget the part where any adversary could simply buy the data on the open data market.

I’m personally less interested in China having access to my daily movements than I am my own government, which includes states that are trying to criminalize going to certain medical providers.

I’d prefer if nobody had access, but I can see through the charade. These legislators are invested in technology that competes with China, and that collect and sell our data, so they prefer to keep things the way they are and pick winners and losers.

Dumb.

“We are too corrupt to draft meaningful privacy legislation, but watch as we pretend CCP is the real problem.”

Performative BS

Charges for peaceful demonstration? Sounds like a violation with no qualified immunity to me. But in the 11th district… Not too hopeful for justice.

I owned four Fitbit devices, and they all broke in some way. The clip broke at the middle joint. Everything else always was at the wristband to body joint, and they refused to make standard wristbands. I’ve had a Vivoactive 3 since 2018-ish, and it still works for me, plus I can have custom activities, and watch faces, and data screens. I like that my partner’s Garmin and mine use the same charging cable, too.

Disclaimer: I don’t use the smart watch features, like texts or calls or notifications of any kind on my tracker, and the battery lasts about five days still, unless I use GPS.

Garmin has so many different trackers for different niches. Scuba, hikers, bikers, runners, pilots…

I switched after getting my third Fitbit replacement under warranty. Affordable and standard watch band parts, though some high-end trackers are a bit pricey for me.

Just no reason to stay with Fitbit with Google’s history of product longevity and support.

Not in this article, she doesn’t…

Just a quick look at the gauge should be enough.

Must be checking if you copied a phone number, but still creepy.

But …? But market forces! Free market! The public will decide! No? Oh well, let’s do nothing and see if it changes for the better.

I feel you about coming home to code. You have my permission to tell rc to eff off

Pretty please? And no crossies!

The CLI process was pretty smooth for me, and afterward just works. I mean no offense when I say I didn’t expect a Linux user to balk at using CLI. A GUI would be nice, I suppose, but I like the way rclone works for me.
