In June, Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy declared in a major advisory that gun violence in the United States is a public health crisis and demanded urgent action, calling for more research and stronger laws to reduce harm.
This effectively means that, if you get banned by the Bluesky company, you're out. Sure, you could still host your own Personal Data Server, wait for a non-existent independent Relay to fetch your data and interact with users of third-party Bluesky applications. But you won't: you're effectively at the mercy of the Bluesky company.
Point two, and more importantly: this approach provides an "exit strategy" in the event that Bluesky "goes evil".Right now, that's false: parts of the social network are still centralized and it's impossible to avoid that. But even if we limit ourselves to PDSs and Relay, the current situation is that federation is only achievable in theory and no one has done it in practice yet.
Other AI tools are really good at filling in the blanks in images, too, but Gemini Flash is particularly good at it
Other AI models can do this too, but you have to be a bit smarter about how you ask about it. As Verge highlights, Anthropic's latest Claude model, and OpenAI's GPT 4o will refuse to alter watermarked images. We can confirm that when you add copyright-protected images to Microsoft Office applications, its Copilot and Design tools will refuse to modify them directly.
Point being FM coverage is almost universal in any area where there’s a significant number of people, not just lone homesteaders, uncontacted tribes, suchlike. Yes there may be people there that could be reached but the total number is small and if they want any news, they’re getting them from the town over once a month.

There's no need for us to keep arguing this point, I totally agree that the coverage of listeners of shortwave radio today is a lot less than what it was in the past, but my point is that it's a lot more still than you're imagining.
but let’s face it the amount of people that you can only reach via short wave is dwindling, they mostly switched to satellite. They rather feed into the local FM broadcast network, and of course you can stream over the internet.
You would actually be surprised how many poor regions in Central and South America as well as in Africa and Central Asia actually rely on shortwave still.
A lot of it is Christian and right-wing broadcasts, but still, it's used more than you would think. Not everyone can afford expensive satellite rigs to receive.
So if the cops then again identified themselves without screaming bloody murder, she may have dropped the knife.
She knew who they were already.
I still lay the blame for all of it at cops’ feet where it belongs. They carry guns and ‘legally’ murder far too many people, then far too often lie about it, for me to give them the benefit of doubt.
Im speaking towards this specific one event, and not all police situations in general.
Hate for hate's sake is not beneficial to society (either side).
when she abruptly grabbed a butcher knife from a bedside table and moved toward the officers
To be fair, she didn't have any weapon in her hand, so the officer may have not had a higher risk estimate of her, so he/she allowed themself to get into a cornered position, while trying to figure out what she's about.
It sounds like he/she was startled, and then when cornered, acted aggressively, out of instinct.
U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg issued an order Saturday blocking the deportations but lawyers told him there were already two planes with immigrants in the air — one headed for El Salvador, the other for Honduras. Boasberg verbally ordered the planes be turned around, but they apparently were not and he did not include the directive in his written order.
Steve Vladeck, a professor at the Georgetown University Law Center, said that Boasberg’s verbal directive to turn around the planes was not technically part of his final order but that the Trump administration clearly violated the “spirit” of it.
“This just incentivizes future courts to be hyper specific in their orders and not give the government any wiggle room,” Vladeck said.
Honestly, not surprising.
They're bending the system as far as they can, and sometimes even breaking it, if they can get away with it.
