PSA: Twitch Shadowbans Users on VPN + Linux
  • I suppose it's possible to build a system that would let you specifically allow a VPN IP to be green-listed on your account, but you'd probably have to allow it by signing in from a known good IP first.

    I think it seems like lot of work for something that isn't really private and is still probably vulnerable to exploit.

  • Arizona Republicans Again Block Effort to Repeal 1864 Abortion Ban
  • Abortion rights advocates have been gathering signatures for a ballot measure that would enshrine abortion access up until “fetal viability” in the state’s constitution.

    On Monday, the statehouse was thrown into additional disarray after a presentation leaked from the House Republicans’ general counsel, outlining detailed plans to undermine that initiative. The document outraged Democrats who saw it as a deliberate attempt to mislead and confuse voters who want to support abortion rights.

    Funny how most conspiracy circles probably wouldn't talk about this even when the plans are open to the public.

  • Why don't banks like root on Android?
  • The issue is that you don’t want to give some random untrusted process root access.

    It's been awhile since I've used anything but Magisk but usually you have to set root permissions per app, or you can get Magisk notification to request access.

  • San Francisco ties welfare to drug-screening, boosts police powers in stunning tough-on-crime shift
  • Breed’s office has said the measure was intentionally designed to be flexible on the treatment component. Treatment options could range from out-patient services to a prescription for buprenorphine, a medication used to treat addiction. They noted it doesn’t include a requirement for participants to remain sober, recognizing that people often lapse in recovery and shouldn’t be kicked out of the program for a slip-up.

    Yes?

  • UN team says rape, gang rape likely occurred during Hamas attack on Israel
  • At the Nova music festival and its surroundings, there are reasonable grounds to believe
    that multiple incidents of sexual violence took place with victims being subjected to rape and/or
    gang rape and then killed or killed while being raped. Credible sources described finding 5
    murdered individuals, mostly women, whose bodies were naked from their waist down – and
    some totally naked – tied with their hands behind their backs, many of whom were shot in the
    head. On Road 232, credible information based on witness accounts describe an incident of the
    rape of two women by armed elements. Other reported instances of rape could not be verified in
    the time allotted. The mission team also found a pattern of bound naked or partially naked bodies
    from the waist down, in some cases tied to structures including trees and poles, along Road 232.
    In kibbutz Re’im, the mission team further verified an incident of the rape of a woman outside of
    a bomb shelter and heard of other allegations of rape that could not yet be verified.

  • Joe Biden hopeful of Gaza ceasefire by Monday as details of proposal emerge
  • The plans reportedly included a 40-day pause in all military operations as well as the exchange of Palestinian prisoners for Israeli hostages at a ratio of 10 to one.

    Under the ceasefire terms, hospitals and bakeries in Gaza would be repaired, 500 aid trucks would enter into the strip each day and thousands of tents and caravans would be delivered to house the displaced, the Reuters source said.

    They're offering hostage exchange at a 10 to 1 ratio, plus aid. I don't imagine they really want to give Hamas money directly.

  • Windows 11 24H2 goes from “unsupported” to “unbootable” on some older PCs
  • In modern x86 CPUs, POPCNT is implemented as part of the SSE4 instruction set. For Intel's chips, it was added as part of SSE4.2 in the original first-generation Core architecture, codenamed Nehalem. In AMD's processors, it's included in SSE4a, first used in Phenom, Athlon, and Sempron CPUs based on the K10 architecture. These architectures date back to 2008 and 2007, respectively.

    That effectively bars mid-2000s Intel Core 2 Duo systems and early Athlon 64-era PCs from booting Windows 11 at all, not that they officially supported it in the first place. This means the change should mainly affect retro-computing enthusiasts who spend their days making YouTube videos in the "we installed Windows 11 on a potato, let's see how it runs" genre rather than users of actual systems.

    You can check if your CPU has SSE 4.2(Intel) or 4a(AMD) but it sounds like unless you're running some real old stuff you shouldn't have to worry.

  • Israel frees two hostages, Gaza officials say airstrikes kill 67
  • Idan Bejerano, Hare's son-in-law, said the hostages had been sleeping when "within a minute" the commandos were in the building and covering them as they fought the captors.

    They weren't on vacation!

    or do you imagine them holding themselves hostage all this time?

  • The Google messaging update looks bad. It reminded me I purchased textra a while ago.
  • The default messaging apps on iPhone is iMessage. It’s locked down and can not communicate with any other messaging app except via SMS. Therefore the other apps have to use it to communicate with iPhone users, who you will never, ever convince to download a third party messaging app

    One other thing is that none of the third party messaging apps can even use SMS. iOS is designed so that only Apple can use SMS.
