Microsoft is bringing Defender to Linux, and that's not even the biggest news of the week. Valve is going 64-bit for the Linux Steam client, and KDE turns 30 with 6.8. Epic has announced that Fortnite is officially coming to Linux. Linus is an AI enthusiast, Framework i...

The healthcare system in the US is grossly inefficient, incredibly bad and getting info to and from patients.

Teach everyone in healthcare to try to use their portals as their first resort of communicating with patients.

They waste so much of their time and our time playing phone tag.

I don't know if it's this way in other countries, but it is universally a phone-voice-based comm system in the US.

Pope Leo XIV has thanked the faithful in St. Peter’s Square for their prayers after his hospitalization for lung surgery.

About halfway into Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s new A24 movie You Can See Everything, there is a scene that plays like a memory. Nathan Fielder stands, in the present of the movie, inside a San Diego ocean-front house looking out at the crashing waves, remembering. Then, playing for the viewer: two unidentifiable people in the ocean, frolicking, swimming in the icy cold waves, a blonde woman and a brunette man, both tall, both smiling. The camaraderie between them is undeniable.

We’re all taking a relaxing day today. Yesterday was awesome! We just wanted to say thank you to 50501, Indivisible, ACLU, American Federation of Teachers, Black Voters Matter, MoveOn, Voto Latino, Public Citizen, League of Women Voters, Third Act, Women’s March,

@Dave:

The only way for the others to compete with Twitter is to start innovating. Get rid of the limits. The funny thing is Twitter, the dominant leader, is moving forward and getting rid of character limits, and introducing styles and links. They’re acting like the little guy while the others, Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, aren’t doing anything to be more useful. That whole market is stuck in 2006 and the myth that 140 chars somehow was magic. It wasn’t. It killed the web as a writer’s platform. If you want to compete with Twitter, drop your proprietary protocols, hook up to the web standards, and peer with your competitors.

I. Hate. Character. Limits.

That’s why Chalkbeat teamed […]

Anthropic announces a new public benefit fund, beyond what the existing b-corp can do:

The Anthropic Public Benefit Fund will have increased flexibility and scale, enabling us to pursue our mission in new ways: for example, we might explore large donations to traditional nonprofits or direct distributions to specific populations.

A little mysterious. I wonder what they have in mind (or if they know).

This week, our first place winner on the insightful side is n00bdragon with a comment about Florida’s age-gating law and its esoteric definition of addiction: Is anyone else bothered by this incredibly strange definition of “addiction”?

SAN FRANCISCO — Technically, every basketball game is zero-sum. An offensive rebound is a missed defensive rebound; a basket scored is a basket conceded. But you never feel that fact more acutely than in a game between the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries, t...
