California Governor Newsom signs landmark AI safety bill SB 53

This is fluff. SB 243 is the real deal, which he already vetoed once.
The governor is also weighing another bill – SB 243 – that passed both the State Assembly and Senate with bipartisan support this month. The bill would regulate AI companion chatbots, requiring operators to implement safety protocols, and hold them legally accountable if their bots fail to meet those standards.

Democrats leave White House with no deal
With just over 24 hours before the government is set to shutdown, Donald Trump and congressional leaders from both parties emerged from a high-stakes White House meeting on Monday with no agreement, setting the stage for large swaths of the federal government to close after midnight Wednesday.
The impasse came after closed-door talks between the four top congressional leaders and Trump in the Oval Office, where lawmakers appeared to trade blame but make little progress towards a deal. “There are still large differences between us,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters after the meeting, claiming that Republicans refused to engage on their core demands around health care and restoring previous funding cuts.
“Their bill has not one iota of Democratic input,” he added, taking aim at a House-passed seven-week stopgap funding bill that Senate Democrats rejected last week. “That is never how we’ve done this before.”

How the Supreme Court’s Affirmative Action Decision Legitimized Stephen Miller
Miller’s role, The Guardian notes, helps account for the shaky legal justification the administration has provided for the attacks: The Trump administration claims the president was using his authority under Article II of the Constitution, based on the notion that the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua is a foreign terrorist organization. This recalls Miller’s repeated assertions that TdA is “running Venezuela” in his argument for deporting Venezuelan immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act.
The revelation about Miller’s role also recalls reports that he mused about bombing unarmed immigrants in boats as an adviser in the first Trump administration.
Miles Taylor, a former Department of Homeland Security official who resigned in Trump’s first term and became a vocal critic of the president, recounted an exchange between Miller and the then-commandant of the Coast Guard—which Miller vehemently denies—in his book Blowback.

HarmonyOS 5 Devices Surpass 20 Million Units - Voila!News
September 29, 2025 – Huawei Executive Director and Head of the Terminal Business Group, Richard Yu (Yu Chengdong), officially announced today that the number of devices running HarmonyOS 5 has exceeded 20 million units.Richard YANG (Voila!News)
20M units in China is too small to count as a rounding error.
When one Chinese phone company hired an American CEO he talked in interviews about how experimentally selling 50M units of a test prototype suggested it might have potential.
In 10 months though and practically limited to the Chinese market? I think it is still an impressive figure.
The first device to feature HarmonyOS NEXT at sale was the Huawei Mate 70, which went on sale in China in November 2024.
Compare that with both Android and the iPhone which had global availability and took until 2010 to reach the same milestone.
China deployed alternatives to everything.
Alternatives to Nvidia AI chips, Volkswagen cars, TSMC chip foundries,
ASML lithography machines, ChatGPT AI software, F22 fighter jets.
And China has superior class solar panels, wind turbines, electric grids and batteries.
The EU has lithography machines that's dependent on the US
and electric cars that are inferior to Tesla and those are their crown jewels.

Media and Medics Boat to Gaza to Launch Oct 1
NOTE 🚨: this is in addition to the current Global Sumud Flotilla coalition making its way to Gaza
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) will launch a dedicated boat carrying international journalists and medical professionals to Gaza on October 1, 2025
The boat is scheduled to sail by October 1 and plans to join the other FFC and Thousand Madleens to Gaza boats on their journey.
For nearly two years, Israel has denied foreign journalists entry into Gaza, creating one of the most severe press blackouts in recent history… At the same time, Gaza’s health system has been systematically dismantled under Israel’s siege and bombardment.
In response, the FFC is assembling a boat of journalists and healthcare professionals to:
- Provide the international press an opportunity to report directly from Gaza
- Deliver urgently needed medical expertise and solidarity alongside Gaza’s decimated health workforce.

Thoughts on stremio? And more generally, when should I worry about trackers?
Hi,
I've seen stremio pop up a few times in my feed recently and decided to give a look. It's seems like I could use it with torrentio, but my concern is that the apps comes with a few trackers, amongst which 3 facebook trackers (share, login & analytics).
I don't know much about trackers, how they work, and what I should worry about, so I mostly try to avoid them, but could someone here tell me if I should worry about these facebook trackers (I don't use fb, but since it's pretty much the Devil itself...), and maybe suggest resources on how to get informed on trackers, what they do, and when to worry about it?
Thank you for your help.
Cheers,

Upgrading video quality for non-English content?
I find myself downloading a lot of movies that are dubbed in latino Spanish. I've checked fmhy torrents, but unfortunately, there just isn't a lot of latino Spanish content available on torrents.
(Yes, there is a lot of Spanish Spanish content... but... meehhh...)
However, I have had better luck with fmhy streaming. It's not the best quality, 720p or 1080p if I'm lucky. But it's better than nothing.
I was recently wondering, how does dubbing actually work? Is there a video difference between English and Spanish movies? Or is there just literally an audio track being swapped out?
Could I take an audio track from a 720p stream and add it to a 4K torrented movie file and expect the audio and video to line up?
like this
For content from streaming platforms like Netflix, the audio and video lines up most of the time. The dub might be a bit longer at the end, but that doesn't matter; it's only the credits.
For Blu-ray and DVDs, it's a bigger problem. The audio and video lines don't usually line up: different production company logos of different lengths and maybe minor regional differences. You could probably adjust the audio delay in the video player to get a decent experience.
mpv is good video player where it is easily possible to play the video from one file and the audio from another.
You already had some good advices but something I haven't seen mentioned. If you use Kodi (and probably a couple others media player), you could use some sub plugin like open subtitle (forgot other names) to fetch subtitles on the fly when you will play video. It can be hit or miss at first, but subtitles name are like release name (title, quality, release group). So if you often encounter a release group that do your sub language. Try to download video from same release group, so you will have better chance that audio/sub sync properly.
This apart, +1 for private tracker as already mentioned, you may need some searching to find one but worth it.

Hungary bans 12 Ukrainian media outlets
Hungary blocked 12 Ukrainian media outlets in response to Kyiv's earlier ban on several foreign publications over Russian narratives, Hungarian Cabinet Minister Gergely Gulyas said on Sept. 29.
Several Hungarian media outlets were among those temporarily restricted in Ukraine by an order by the State Special Communications Service on Sept. 8
According to Gulyas, Ukraine blocked the Hungarian outlets Origo and Demokrata because they "dared to write critically about the policy of sanctions against Russia, Ukraine's armed support, and portray the EU and NATO as fragmented and ineffective organizations."
Gulyas described the ban on Hungarian outlets in Ukraine as "a completely unjustified attack."
The list of 12 banned Ukrainian media outlets in Hungary includes several popular sources such as Ukrainska Pravda, European Pravda, NV, hromadske and TSN.
"With Ukraine's accession, the EU would only become more fragmented," Gulyas wrote on Facebok.
The news marks the most recent point of tension amid strained relations between Kyiv and Budapest.
Hungary is broadly seen as the most Kremlin-friendly government in the EU and NATO. The country has consistently obstructed aid to Ukraine and sanctions against Russia throughout the full-scale war.
Ukraine applied for EU membership shortly after Russia launched its war in 2022 and was granted candidate status within months.
As an EU member, Hungary has veto power over further progress.
Last week, reconnaissance drones likely belonging to Hungary had violated Ukraine's airspace along the border, President Volodymyr Zelensky said. Budapest rejected the allegations.

More than 100,000 federal workers to quit on Tuesday in largest ever mass resignation
Workers preparing to leave the government have described how months of “fear and intimidation” left them feeling like they had no choice but to depart.
“Federal workers stay for the mission. When that mission is taken away, when they’re scapegoated, when their job security is uncertain, and when their tiny semblance of work-life balance is stripped away, they leave,” a longtime employee at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) told the Guardian. “That’s why I left.”

I watch iptv with Kodi and it's pretty solid.
But I went through the same thing with iptv-org. It seems many of the listed channels are largely dead. I manually scrubbed the english list by checking the channels but it was pretty brutal. I think like 200-400 channels were working out of 2000+.
There are also online m3u checkers if you search like "m3u checker". I've used some web-based apps. They're somewhat slow but ok. There's also an m3u checker that you can install locally. I haven't tried it yet but I'm wondering if it might be faster.
I try not to bother with obviously pirated channels because they usually go down pretty quick. I'm much more interested in legit channels that will stay up.
Lastly I also have all the Pluto channels with EPG. I used this app for the channels and EPG.
I also wrote some scripts to download/merge channels and EPGs. TBH it's kind of a PITA but it's like a hobby.
(edit: One last thing... I noticed that some channels worked with VLC but not Kodi. I had to adjust some settings in Kodi to make them work. In particular I had to change my user agent to OKHTTP for Pluto channels.)
