  • Android’s most beloved launcher may be done for good

  • Did you know that Monopoly was originally invented by a woman whose point was how horrible monopolies are? It originally had a co-op mode that could topple monopolies through unions and co-ops.

    Her game was bought by a jerk who removed the co-op mode and then claimed Monopoly as his own game. She died penniless.

    If the capitalist system incentivizes me to outcompete others and hoard my wealth and, conversely, punishes me for my altruism; then, I am forced to play by the rules of such a system.

    So change it... or be a pebble in the mountain of change.

I'm wondering about using it to recreate my website, which uses a full-width, background-looping, auto-playing video; I have no idea of how to do this despite repeatedly tinkering and trying to read up on iframes. Thanks in advance for any guidance!

  • I'm pretty sure @booly@sh.itjust.works was meaning the exact opposite, that it's more about educating perpetrators than taking vengeance or merely dishing out old-fashioned justice on them.

  • After an Arizona man was shot, an AI video of him addresses his killer in court

    Jump

  • Apparently, it was required to be allowed in that state:

    Reading a bit more, during the sentencing phase in that state people making victim impact statements can choose their format for expression, and it's entirely allowed to make statements about what other people would say. So the judge didn't actually have grounds to deny it.
    No jury during that phase, so it's just the judge listening to free form requests in both directions.

    It's gross, but the rules very much allow the sister to make a statement about what she believes her brother would have wanted to say, in whatever format she wanted.

    influence the sentence

    From what I've seen, to be fair, judges' decisions have varied wildly regardless, sadly, and sentences should be more standardized. I wonder what it would've been otherwise.
