A Private Company Fighting Online Piracy Can't Act With Impunity
The issue of pirate IPTV overblocking by LaLiga was raised in Congress this week for a second time. Political party ERC called for urgent intervention by the Spanish state. "A private company cannot act with impunity and indiscriminately in defense of its business," said spokesperson Gabriel Rufián. Not only does LaLiga take issue with the terminology, its position remains unchanged. Because it's a "supervised judicial procedure with very restrictive safeguarding criteria," there is no overblocking. At least not of anything important, LaLiga says.

I took my grown kids out for pizza at Vito and Nick's Pizza on the Southside of Chicago. The pizza was delicious and everyone enjoyed it. The place was packed.
We enjoyed a scenic drive through Northwest Indiana using the back roads, then cut up into Chicago.
Coming back, we cut across the south side, then drove through South Deering, then Hegewisch to get a quick tour of the southern portions of the city before arriving back in Hammond, Indiana.

Trump's government has been arguing that if they claim that someone in the US isn't a citizen, they're not entitled to due process
this is clearly unconstitutional
in March, Timothy Snyder noted the logical endpoint: This means even *citizens* do not reliably have due process, because all the feds have to do is *say* you're not a citizen and ... you can't go to court to prove it

DnB songs are competing with each other on who can have the longest drum pause in their chorus, and I'm all here for it.
Each additional beat of pause makes me enjoy it even more.
For example, here's DNMO's "Together". Check out the section from 2:30 to 3:05, there's 3½ _bars_ of drum pause 😍
Reminds me of Donald Dark's "Sleeping in My Car" medley, where they're gradually increasing the pause between "in my" and "car" at the end of the song 😂

California lawmakers kill plans to curb AI-manipulated prices: calmatters.org/economy/technol…
> A secretive appropriations process killed or reined in three bills regulating the use of pricing algorithms. A bill to monitor data center electricity use was also culled.
A crackdown on predictive software that sets prices and can rip you off seemed to be brewing in the California Legislature earlier this year, but today lawmakers eased up, voting to kill bills that would have kept software from setting the price of apartment rentals and other goods and services. Another bill, which sought to bar the use of personal information to set prices, was reined in to apply only to grocery stores.
Lawmakers also killed a bill that aimed to protect electric utility customers from bearing higher costs associated with data center proliferation […] The measure would have required data centers to publicly disclose how much energy they use.

The image features a humanoid figure with a robotic appearance, set against a solid orange background. The figure is wearing a blue helmet with intricate mechanical details, including a circular visor and a textured surface. The helmet's design suggests advanced technology, with visible seams and rivets. The figure's right hand is raised to its chin, showcasing a mechanical glove with articulated fingers and a wristband, indicating a blend of human and machine elements. The figure is draped in a flowing garment with a vibrant yellow and blue color scheme, adding a contrast to the metallic tones of the helmet and glove. The overall composition emphasizes the figure's robotic nature while incorporating elements of traditional attire.
