  • So would that look like pulling all say from the states and putting all funding, policy, etc. at the federal level?

    I'd say funding would be dual-leveled, depending on what is being funded.

    Policy mandates at the fed level would be funded with fed dollars. Meal and health programs too.

    Things like physical building maintenance and teacher salaries would be at the state level (with help with fed funds for poor states).

  • Is the DoE the answer or could it be handled better at the state or regional level?

    My belief is that if we are to be a single nation, then it had to be handled at the federal level by the DoE, and not at the various states level.

    At the states level its just an easy prelim/prep for a future civil war.

  • Great to hear! Way overdue. That industry really needs some of those protections.

    From the article ...

    The launch will be formally announced at the 2025 Game Developer Conference in San Francisco, Calif., the world’s largest industry event for video game professionals, where workers will be joined by other CWA members to launch this powerful new organization.

  • From the article ...

    Sgt. William Carney, a member of the 54th Massachusetts Colored Infantry Regiment, was the first Black American to earn the Medal of Honor.

  • Denzel Washington reenacted the heroics of Sgt. William Carney in the movie "Glory." The Pentagon removed a story about him for DEI reasons.

    Would love to hear what Denzel Washington would say about this.

  • It’s “voluntary” in the sense that either you allow it or you don’t get into the country.

    Was that explicitly said to him? Did they tell him that if he refused the inspection that he would be denied entry?

    BTW, what you described is a mandatory inspection.

  • immigration officers at an airport searched his phone

    There's no mention in the article if this search was voluntary, or not.

    Edit: For the downvoters, please point out where I was wrong; I'd honestly really like to know if it was voluntary or not.

  • From the article ...

    A Yale source said the US state department deleted the evidence which would have been used as part of rescue efforts to get the children home to Ukraine. It would also have been used to prosecute those behind their abductions – including Russian president Vladimir Putin.

    ”It is unclear whether it was by accident or intent, but it may reveal or it may cause potential criminal liability for the Trump administration, given international prohibitions against the destruction of war crimes evidence,” the Yale insider told The Independent.

    Asahi Lina posted to Bluesky today:

    "For personal reasons, I no longer feel safe working on Linux GPU drivers or the Linux graphics ecosystem. I've paused work on Apple GPU drivers indefinitely.

    I can't share any more information at this time, so please don't ask for more details. Thank you."

    The FTC has based its investigation of “tech censorship” on a belief that tech companies are intentionally restricting access of individual users to their platforms, based on the content of the users’ posts or their affiliations.

  • From United States Copyright Office ...

    Based on an analysis of copyright law and policy, informed by the many thoughtful comments in response to our NOI, the Office makes the following conclusions and recommendations:

    • Questions of copyrightability and AI can be resolved pursuant to existing law, without the need for legislative change.

    • The use of AI tools to assist rather than stand in for human creativity does not affect the availability of copyright protection for the output.

    • Copyright protects the original expression in a work created by a human author, even if the work also includes AI-generated material.

    • Copyright does not extend to purely AI-generated material, or material where there is insufficient human control over the expressive elements.

    • Whether human contributions to AI-generated outputs are sufficient to constitute authorship must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

    • Based on the functioning of current generally available technology, prompts do not alone provide sufficient control.

    • Human authors are entitled to copyright in their works of authorship that are perceptible in AI-generated outputs, as well as the creative selection, coordination, or arrangement of material in the outputs, or creative modifications of the outputs.

    • The case has not been made for additional copyright or sui generis protection for AI- generated content.

    The Office will continue to monitor technological and legal developments to determine whether any of these conclusions should be revisited. It will also provide ongoing assistance to the public, including through additional registration guidance and an update to the Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices.
