I blame the consolidation of sports titles under a limited number of developers and publishers. But maybe I just feel this way because sports games aren't my thing.

President Donald Trump said his proposed tariffs on Mexico and Canada will go into effect March 4, and that China will be charged an additional 10% tariff.

Voyager implement all searches that lemmy exposes, but this one is something else. When in a browser with a post loaded, I can search the post and its comments for any text with the browser “search this page” feature.

I wanted a text search on Voyager in a similar fashion, i.e. client side full text search on what’s on screen at the moment.

Hi everyone, with the whole Firefox ToS change and it's fingerprinting I asked on mastodon if anyone could recommend a web browser alternative to Firefox and was recommend to go with Vivaldi due to their no fingerprinting, and allowing unlock to still work even though it uses manifest v3.

I am already switching to librefox on windows, and fence on android.

But I wanted to ask if the claims for vivaldi where true?

PlayStore Review :
This app installed without my permission. There is barely any info about what this app is for. I have all my settings turned off so it asks my permission before downloading anything, and this app still manage to get installed without consent. This is a very shady thing to do. This and another 2 apps also from google (e.g. SafetyCore) that just installed without permission. If my settings mean nothing, this is very worrying. No heads up, nothing.

this week: “Google has quietly installed an app on all Android devices called ‘Android System SafetyCore’. It claims to be a ‘security’ application, but whilst running in the background, it collects call logs, contacts, location, your microphone, and much more making this application ‘spyware’ and a HUGE privacy concern. It is strongly advised to uninstall this program if you can.

Militarism helped fuel the rise of billionaire tech barons who are now teaming up with an increasingly fascistic Trump.

Summary

Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has asked his supporters to limit the number of photos they send him to 5 at a time due to overwhelming volume and screening delays.

Charged with murder, he has pleaded not guilty. Mangione's case sparked debate about healthcare, with supporters sending fan mail and donations.

His legal defense fund has raised over $615,000. He expressed gratitude for the letters, acknowledging support across "political, racial, and even class divisions."

Mangione also faces federal and Pennsylvania charges. His attorney argues he's being treated differently, held in federal custody.

Summary

Trump’s EPA chief, Lee Zeldin, is attempting to seize $2 billion from a nonprofit coalition, including Habitat for Humanity, meant for building energy-efficient homes.

The funds, part of a $20 billion green grant program under Biden’s EPA, were placed in Citibank to prevent interference.

Zeldin, calling the move a “criminal scheme,” is pressuring Citi to return the money, citing “waste and abuse” without evidence and Democratic ties.

Despite GOP opposition, the coalition plans to proceed, aiming to build 72,000 homes, create 64,000 jobs, and cut energy costs by $1.26 billion. A congressional hearing is scheduled.

While I wait on 3rd party reviews I'm mulling over whether or not to swap out my 6950xt for the 9070xt.

My current card is fine for me in 1440p ultrawide, though it does get hot and is (for me) noisy.

The main consideration is (tethered) VR gaming. The 6950xt is ok but it feels like it's just short of where I want it, but I'm not sure how much of a difference there'd be between the 2 cards.

The reform law, which limits the use of solitary confinement, will remain suspended for 90 days while the state evaluates if reinstating it will “create an unreasonable risk” to staff and inmate safety.
