Meta prevails in historic FTC antitrust case, won't have to break off WhatsApp, Instagram (apnews.com)

submitted 12 hours ago by MicroWave@lemmy.world to c/news@lemmy.world

1 comments fedilink

Meta has prevailed over an existential challenge to its business that could have forced the tech giant to spin off Instagram and WhatsApp after a judge ruled that the company does not hold a monopoly in social networking.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg issued his ruling Tuesday after the historic antitrust trial wrapped up in late May. His decision runs in sharp contrast to two separate rulings that branded Google an illegal monopoly in both search and online advertising, dealing regulatory blows to the tech industry that for years enjoyed nearly unbridled growth.

GNOME Desktop top bar - waste of space? (feddit.dk)

submitted 1 day ago by vandsjov@feddit.dk to c/linux@lemmy.ml

23 comments fedilink

Hi,

I used to be a big fan of GNOME the way it got out of my way when I didn’t need it and no icons in the bottom to take up desktop space. But the top bar just seems so… useless. It holds a few useful icons in the right side (and you can get extensions to add more) but other than this, it’s just taking up space. After a trip past Xfce I’m now on KDE with the bar in the top.

Have I missed anything about the top bar in GNOME Desktop?

Clay Higgins: The lone lawmaker to vote against releasing the Epstein files (www.bbc.com)

submitted 5 hours ago by cm0002@toast.ooo to c/usa@midwest.social

0 comments fedilink

Nearly every Republican in the US House of Representatives voted on a bill to compel the release of documents tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The lone "nay" came from the Republican lawmaker from Louisiana, Clay Higgins, who defied his party saying his vote was a principled "NO".

"What was wrong with the bill three months ago is still wrong today," Higgins wrote on X. "It abandons 250 years of criminal justice procedure in America."

The resounding vote in favour of the Epstein bill, 427-1, marks a rare moment of bipartisanship on Capitol Hill. Hours later, the US senate too approved the legislation, clearing the way for the final act - President Donald Trump's signature.

Cream of potato soup. (lemmy.world)

Sick wife wanted comfort food. Making it from scratch takes longer but is so much less expensive than glop from a can. Potatoes, onion, butter, salt, pepper.

Cost per person, 70¢ not including the pepper sauce. A standard can of condensed is almost three times the cost.

Note: The word "slop", while often used to refer to AI slop, got to be used to mean "quantitive media product", then "thing I don't like", hence "friendslop" and the likes started to appear. I wonder if nu metal would be called "slop metal" if it came out today.
