  • Exciting! Looking forward to this trickling down to regular App Store installs.

  • NFL owners approve Tom Brady's bid to become limited partner of Las Vegas Raiders
  • This is such a brazen conflict of interest that I'm not sure how they keep it clean short of refusing to have him call Raiders games.

    [Rapoport] The #Raiders are completing a trade of star WR Davante Adams to the #Jets, sources say. Back with his good friend, Aaron Rodgers. As Las Vegas moves on.
  • After sending off Derek Carr to watch him succeed under better leadership as well, only protecting Maxx Crosby from trade talks. But maybe you’re right and their true WR1… Jakobi Meyers will fill the void Davante left.

  • Interesting to watch the Raiders project stripped for parts but I think we knew that was coming once Derek Carr was tossed. They have a lot to figure out and it’s not the players.

  • Coach: Watson still gives Browns best shot to win
  • The signing of him (especially the $1 first-year contract) is a pox upon the house of Browns. They knew what they were doing and did it. Now, we get to watch him refuse to play and they have to learn that his character failings extend to the field.

  • Coach: Watson still gives Browns best shot to win
  • If I get to watch DeShaun Watson continue to get pummeled and fail, that’s a great day for me.

  • Automattic demanded web host pay $32M annually for using WordPress trademark
  • Such a strange feud. Aren’t there a bunch of WordPress hosts that are given usage of the software name? It sounds like there’s just something specifically about WPengine’s deployments that are changing the formula, creating a sticking point.

  • Cousins lets it fly, leads Falcons in career night
  • It’s cool to see him having a good performance after that injury. Not a Falcons fan but you can’t hate ‘em.

  • Tool for Spotify recommendations based on your self-hosted music library
  • The only thing Spotify has going for it is the way it’s broken down music to the atomic level and given recommendations. Cool to crib some notes there even if I think it can be a bit overbearing when Spotify does it.

  • Trump’s Consistent Message Online and Onstage: Be Afraid
  • I agree with this. You can make a competent, easily digestible message that public safety, better quality of life, etc. comes from investing in common public services. Crime goes down when there’s better public health and education.

  • Trump’s Consistent Message Online and Onstage: Be Afraid
  • And they certainly don’t understand that safety has emerged from better public services but so it goes.

  • Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
  • I appreciate anyone working on an actual community but doing the service of not just giving free content but free curation to a corporation seems unreal. Plus, I’m a grown adult. I don’t have the time to do all that much lol

  • Trump’s Consistent Message Online and Onstage: Be Afraid
  • Honestly, the US is largely safer than it’s ever been. Not sure why this is a constant drumbeat but folks will buy it up, I suppose.

  • First time making a blackberry cobbler
  • Oh god. This sounds great.

  • Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
  • I truly don’t understand how anyone does the free work for a corporation to moderate a subreddit. Steps like this seem to treat them like employees and they’ll largely just chug along with it for… what? Notoriety?

  • Hoops powerhouse Gonzaga to join Pac-12 in '26
  • Okay, we don’t need to be too harsh on the PAC-12 but it’s probably a financial decision.

  • U.S. Announces New Rules Banning Fake Reviews and Testimonials, Allowing Authorities to Seek Civil Penalties Against Violators, Deter AI-Generated Fake Reviews
  • Will this stand up to the death of Chevron deference? Or are we 3 weeks away from a judge throwing the rule out unless congress passes a specific law.

    I think this is squarely in the charter of the FTC but who knows with the courts any longer. We just saw them strike down a ruling by the EPA to enact health measures under the requirements of the Civil Rights Act.

  • Parody site ClownStrike refused to bow to CrowdStrike’s bogus DMCA takedown
  • I still want the "Turn off your computer before midnight" sticker someone made but, alas, CrowdStrike DMCA'd the Etsy account.

  • Too big to care? Cloudflare comes again under pressure for enabling abusive sites, anti-spam NGO says
  • There's a balance to be struck here but Cloudflare is truly the most miserable entity I have to work with from an abuse perspective. They're not necessarily "ignoring" warrants but most phishing doesn't get reported with a legal takedown request. In those cases, Cloudflare will be almost intentionally obtuse. I'm happy to outline the misery of a host working with Cloudflare but it's not necessarily important to this. TLDR; Cloudflare takes steps that don't make sense for its "we're not responsible" stance while also having zero automation in the year of our lord 2024.

    I suppose everything could be a legal request but that just makes the whole process so infinitely worse for NGOs like Spamhaus and only serves to make lawyers excited that their consultation fees are going up. I see that the laziest pathway is "Youtube-like strikes" which is misery as well but they could just shift to investigating accounts receiving a high volume of reports as potential fraud or abuse actors since it is a drag on their services and these accounts are not paying or are paying with stolen credit cards.

    Ultimately, I don't disagree with you that much but there's a lot of room for CF to improve their management of fraud & abuse without becoming a trash platform or invalidating legal protections. Happy to get into the weeds on this a bit more since it's a lil' bit close to home. 😅

    The Patriots announced today that they have placed defensive lineman Daniel Ekuale on injured reserve and released defensive back William Hooper from the practice squad.

    Patriots Place DL Daniel Ekuale on Injured Reserve and Release DB William Hooper from the Practice Squad

    There were fears of DL Daniel Ekuale having a torn bicep which look to have a sort of confirmation with him headed over to the IR. Best of luck to him in healing up and it's another blow to already ailing defense that has still maintained high quality.

    Patriots Sign Former Cowboys QB Will Grier to Active Roster, per Report

    cross-posted from: https://infosec.pub/post/2818909

    > The Patriots are signing quarterback Will Grier to their active roster off the Bengals practice squad, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. > > Grier was drafted by the Panthers in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of West Virginia, spending parts of two seasons in Carolina. He got his only NFL action as a rookie, totaling 228 passing yards with no touchdowns and four interceptions in 2019. > > Carolina released Grier before the 2021 season, but the Cowboys claimed him off waivers. Grier then spent the 2021 and ’22 seasons as Dallas’s third-string quarterback, but never saw any game action. > > After the Cowboys traded for Trey Lance in August, the team released Grier, who then signed with the Bengals practice squad, where he has been for the past few weeks. This also means that Cincinnati will need another quarterback along with backup Jake Browning if Joe Burrow can’t play on Monday. > > The Patriots now add Grier to their team as a third stringer behind Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe. New England will face the Jets on Sunday and is also set to play the Cowboys in Dallas next week.

    This is less of a question for the local ownership, more of one for other folks here to check the temperature of the room.

    I've been having troubles subscribing to communities on lemmy.ml, just getting stuck at "subscribe pending". I figure they're probably overwhelmed but I'm also new to Lemmy and am curious if other folks are seeing similar troubles. Is it just our instance?
