Futurology Today

I’m a 27 year old single mother and I have a 12 year old son. Recently he’s been knocking on my door in the middle of the night because he can’t sleep and he asks to sleep with me. I’ve been letting him since neither of us really have a problem with it and it’s kind of nice not having to sleep alone every night. However, I’ve heard and seen some things online that seem controversial about co-sleeping with a child past a certain age. I definitely don’t want to negatively affect his development, so I guess what are your thoughts?

One of my favorite motorcycle YT channel randomly decided to get into algorithms.

This an an interview with Ross Scott and Steve from the GNCA - GamersNexus Consumer Advocacy side channel.

"We got together with Ross Scott of Accursed Farms to discuss the Stop Killing Games initiative that he is presently spearheading. The Stop Killing Games initiative aims to preserve games in a reasonably playable state even after the game's publishers and/or developers abandon it, helping ensure consumers keep some level of what they have paid for rather than having all access revoked and the game destroyed."

I couldn't find a way to cross-post from reddit, so I'll just copy-paste the post:

I know this was already posted this week, but I feel I should clarify what's going on here.

If you're a GNOME user, GNOME needs your help. The past few years have been financially difficult for the GNOME Foundation. The last year in particular has been really challenging. We have re-launched our donation page with an explicit focus on recurring donations:

https://donate.gnome.org/

Historically, almost all GNOME donations came from maintainers, not users. That's not just nuts... it's totally broken. Many of these folks grind 80 hour weeks, for years. Many of them are volunteers. They shouldn't be the ones giving the Foundation money, they should be the ones being paid by the Foundation (in the form of grants, contracts, etc). I argued to the GNOME Foundation Board this month that our revenue model was inside-out. They agreed.

In the near-term, we just need to make sure GNOME stays afloat. The GNOME Foundation supplies all of GNOME's development infrastructure (including GitLab and CI/CD), manages all development grants/contracts, runs Flathub, runs GUADEC, manages internship financing, and supplies travel grants for contributors. It would really suck if the wheels fell off ... because all of this matters.

But in the medium-term, the goal is for the Foundation to use recurring donations to really grow GNOME and push development harder than ever before. I want to see us absolutely crush the proprietary desktops and then win the mobile market. For that, the "medium-term" needs to happen sooner than later. That's why I'm so focused on recurring donations in this post:

https://blogs.gnome.org/steven/2025/06/26/donate-less/

Additionally, I want to be very clear that I'm being entirely sincere when I say "donate less." Donate with a floor, not a ceiling. Keep the number as low as makes sense for you. Because the goal is longevity, not single big donations, we really need you to donate a value that's trivial to you: the price of a coffee, the price of a frivolous meal out that you wouldn't think twice about buying. That sort of thing. Don't jeopardize your own financial comfort for ours — GNOME has millions of users who can potentially donate if you can't. We just need to reach them. (You can help us by pointing people to this post.)

Hope that clears things up! Feel free to ask questions if it doesn't.

A hacker working for the Sinaloa drug cartel was able to obtain an FBI official's phone records and use Mexico City's surveillance cameras to help track and kill the agency's informants in 2018, the U.S. Justice Department said in a report issued on Thursday.

Another year of #Porcfest, another round of vendor stats: Percentage of revenue:
#Cash 68.99% (was 72.2%)
#Zelle 2.16% (was 2.69%)
#Goldbacks 3.2% (was 11.77%)
#Silver 3.82% (was 4.44%)
#Monero 7.95% (was 5.42%)
#Bitcoin 5.33% (was 0.47%)
#Zano 3.09% (was 0%)
#BitcoinCash 2.73% (was 0.62%)
#FUSD 1.79% (was 0%)
#Zcash 0.41% (was 0%)
#Dogecoin 0.22% (was 0%)
#Ethereum 0.17% (was 0%)
#Litecoin 0.13% (was 0.56%)
#BitcoinLightning wasn't available this year, as the non-custodial setup stopped working (was 1.82%)

The percentage of total crypto sales was:
~7% in 2022
~9% in 2023
~9% in 2024
~22% in 2025

So the numbers, only looking at crypto, are:
#XMR 36.4%
#BTC 24.4%
#ZANO 14.2%
#BCH 12.5%
#FUSD 8.2%
#ZEC 1.9%
#DOGE 1%
#ETH 0.8%
#LTC 0.6%

So Zano coming in hot (probably thanks to the three Zano Foundation guys mostly) and Monero is still leading the crypto pack. Overall Fiat usage declined ever so slightly (-5%), while precious metal usage declined dramatically (-57%, probably because this year there was no Goldback tent and/or people around). Though Crypto usage increased a lot (+140%).

Maybe I need to ask more vendors if they collect their stats to get a more general Porcfest overview.

Oh and most vendors accepted Monero. Majority of the few that didn't were onboarded by me. Like the Satoshi film makers, which you can now fund/support using XMR (https://linktr.ee/satoshi.movie)

I'm just trying to browse through a creator's library with hundreds of videos in it, and it just CONSTANTLY LOOPS THE FIRST FEW PAGES.

And that's nothwithstanding all the others shennanigans - less videos per page, old ass videos in recommended feed, videos already watched, videos with no connection whatsoever with viewing habits, etc. I mean - I like all of those things, they're just WAYYYYY too prevalent, to the point my usual content is drowned and just about impossible to find on my homepage.

Seriously... someone needs to step up and start that over elsewhere.

Emails from Proton seem to go to Google's spam many times. this is the only thing keeping me in Gmail. How do you handle this?

"For months, environmental researcher Yaakov Garb has been using satellite data to analyze the design, location, and expansion of these facilities. Garb, a professor at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, found in an analysis published earlier this month on Harvard Dataverse that most of Gaza’s population cannot access these centers in a safe and practical way. Doing so requires crossing the dangerous Netzarim Corridor, entering a buffer zone from which Israel has banned them from entering, or a long walk across a barren rubble field, while carrying a heavy box of food."
