That missing comma in the original hed is rather unfortunate. I'm honestly surprised both Ben and Jerry are still alive!

Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Jerry Greenfield has stepped away from the ice-cream brand after nearly 50 years, according to a post by the other founder, Ben Cohen.

Cohen’s post shared what he said was a letter from Greenfield in which he called it one of the “hardest and most painful decisions” he had ever made.

Greenfield said the company had been silenced by Unilever and its independence to speak up on global issues was “gone”.

“If the company couldn’t stand up for the things we believed, then it wasn’t worth being a company at all,” Greenfield said.

Just wanted to share in case people were wondering.

I am not from America and lives in Europe. I am trying to understand what life and values the republicans in office right now wants for America. Is the 50's America the kind of country they hope to go back to or is it somewhat of a new state we have never seen before?

I am genuinely wondering if they have some kind of "utopian" community in mind doing all these changes to the economy and values.

So, it's probably hard to believe this, given my user name, but sometimes I want to be sober instead of wasted or possibly overdosing... I do not consider myself to be in recovery or have a drug problem, but today is a bad day, and I feel like sobriety may be a better option than the alternative.

There are generally two options when it comes to recovery from drugs. One is Narcotics Anonymous and one is Smart Recovery. The difference is Narcotics Anonymous involves "high powers" as a step, which I view as religious baloney. Since I hate religion, but also want to be sober, Smart Recovery is the main alternative.

Both of these websites have canvas fingerprint tracking in them.

This is incredibly irresponsible and selfish and dangerous and either is a result of extreme technological ignorance or just willful disregard of people visiting those sites.

Smart Recovery seems to be much worse than NA in terms of data privacy because Smart Recovery is loading up things from content delivery networks and lots of external scripts, none of which likely care about the privacy of someone not wanting to be tracked.

Yes, it's "great" that NA and Smart Recovery can take a browser fingerprint of users and sell that to Meta who will then market this information to Rehab Facilities. (I'm not sure if that is what they do, but it wouldn't surprise me.)

But this information also is likely getting sold somehow to data brokers and that information could end up being looked at by a variety of people, including potential employers. If a large employer is looking at a potential employee, they can and often do get detailed information from data brokers. People are incredibly naive as to how much data brokers store about people. It's irresponsible and certainly not anonymous for these sites to track people like this, claim to be anonymous, and not even warn users prior to fingerprinting their hardware and identity.

Additionally, because na.org and smartrecovery.org are not hospitals or medical providers, this information is likely not HIPPA protected and certainly even if it were we have no way of knowing what data brokers do with these canvas profiles, which almost certainly link to real KYC canvas fingerprint profiles of naive users. And most users are naive users.

It's also so frustrating because many of these meetings are being done on zoom, so accessing the meeting is done by going to the website and visitors or former addicts or people attending meetings are getting canvas fingerprinted every time. It's disgusting, appalling, and another example of why it's just better to keep an addiction secret, try to detox on your own, and try to sober up on your own and stay sober if you can.

It's just infuriating. Thanks for reading my rant. And you can go to these sites yourself to check out the scripts in them. If I am misstating the privacy risks involved, I'd be happy to be told so.

Well I'm definitely not going to a meeting. Perhaps I can stick with coffee, although it's pretty late for coffee?

Excuse the... clickbait-y title/thumbnail, but this is basically a semi-benchmark, semi-news and semi-rambling video on FSR4 running on my 3060.

If you saw my post yesterday, you might remember that I mentioned making a video on it and here it is.

Yet another video talking about silksong's difficulty, but this one is from someone who knows what theyre talking about

The proposal would suspend the central plank of a decades-old free trade deal that removed tariffs on imports of goods between Europe and Israel.

However, suspension of the agreement requires the backing of a weighted majority of EU capitals, meaning Germany or Italy would first need to lift their opposition to the 27-state union sanctioning Israel.

WASHINGTON, Sept 16 (Reuters) - The Trump administration's first U.S. weapons aid packages for Ukraine have been approved and could soon ship as Washington resumes sending arms to Kyiv - this time under a new financial agreement with allies - two sources familiar with the situation told Reuters.

This is the first use of a new mechanism developed by the U.S. and allies to supply Ukraine with weapons from U.S. stocks using funds from NATO countries.

The three people, including two in their 70s, were arrested following a protest in Parliament Square, Westminster, on 5 July.

Jeremy Shippam, 72, of Yapton, West Sussex, Judit Murray, 71, of West Ewell, Surrey, and Fiona Maclean, 53, of Hackney, north east London, are charged with displaying an article in a public place, arousing reasonable suspicion that they are a supporter of a proscribed organisation, under section 13 of the Terrorism Act 2000.

Today they entered not guilty pleas at Westminster Magistrates' Court.

The court heard they held placards that read: "I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action."

Maclean, wearing earrings decorated with watermelons, and other defendants, spoke to confirm their names, ages and addresses.

Supporters of the defendants gathered outside court before the hearing, with some carrying Palestine flags and holding placards. A ban on Palestine Action has been met with protests

The plea hearing was delayed briefly to search for a hearing loop for some of the defendants.

The group have been released on unconditional bail by Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring, and will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on March 16 for a trial listed for three days.

Mr Goldspring told the defendants: "This will take place on March 16, 17, and 18 so I'm going to release each of you on bail until March 16 when you have an obligation to attend this court.

"Between now and then you are on unconditional bail."

It comes after Palestine Action was banned as a terror organisation in July, after the group claimed responsibility for an action in which two Voyager planes were damaged at RAF Brize Norton on 20 June.

It comes as the Home Office plans to appeal a High Court ruling that allows Palestine Action's co-founder, Huda Ammori, to proceed with a legal challenge against the Government over the ban.

Ms Ammori took the action against the department over then-home secretary Yvette Cooper's decision to proscribe the group under anti-terror laws.

The decision by Ms Cooper made membership of or support for the group a criminal offence by up to 14 years in prison.

It has sparked anger and protests since.

Thieves have broken into Paris's Natural History Museum, making off with gold samples worth $700,000 in the latest of a worrying series of robberies from cultural institutions, according to the museum.

Famed for its dinosaur skeletons and stuffed animals, the National Natural History Museum in the chic 5th district of the French capital also houses a geology and mineralogy gallery.

A break-in was detected on Tuesday morning, with the intruders reportedly using an angle grinder and a blow torch to force their way into the river-side complex that is popular with Parisians and tourists.
