Podcast episode from It Could Happen Here, about how then-president Trump made the FBI conduct a fake "investigation" to clear Brett Kavanaugh and appoint him to the Supreme Court

Is anyone else having problems with the Feeld app on GrapheneOS? I'm in an urban area and have set my filters wide (100 miles), but see nothing when I open the app.

Update: I think this might be the issue: https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide I contacted Feeld support and they said they're looking into it.

I'm sure this has happened before, but I'm not finding any stats that tell me when. Does anyone know how to look that up?

Edit: Apparently this is the first time! https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-division-series-tied-1-1-for-first-time

I realize this is an absolutely unhinged thing to ask for: Can anyone direct me to a large database of company names with websites (just those two columns), ideally 100K rows or more, that I can access for free? Basically this database if it had another column with the company name: https://github.com/cygenta/top10million (but doesn't need to be anywhere near 10 million)

I have such a love/hate relationship with Stardew Valley, slightly less so with My Time At Portia (the developers seem to have at least considered wrist strain in the button layout and mechanics). I long for a moneyless, classless game in this genre where the incentives are community thriving, trust, pleasure, and all the other aspects that make life worth worth living outside of capitalism. Does that game exist?

Specifically Paris and London. There are U.S. sports-themed bars in both cities, but with the time difference, the bars will be closed by the times the games start. I'm willing to pay, get a VPN, and/or go to a sketchy streaming site. Any suggestions? Thanks hockey fam!

Does anyone know, or can anyone guess, the business case for predictive text? On phone apps, it is often incredibly difficult to turn off. Why is that, do you think? (The examples I have recent experience with are Facebook and Outlook mobile apps.)

I would have thought that, for AI training purposes, they would want humans typing things and not just regurgitating canned responses. But apparently not?

This video documents the recent feats of 15-year-old Tetris master Alex T, and the discoveries players make by pushing the game farther than it has any right to go

Petitions are annoying, but I'm hoping some of us will want to sign this one! The goal is simple: Have the National Hockey League create a solution where the local broadcast announcers of the home team handle the broadcast for every nationally-televised game, such as the Stanley Cup playoffs.

I'm setting up a laptop with Mint (Cinnamon) for a person who needs text-to-speech software. It seems like most of the nice-sounding ones are proprietary. Any recommendations for FOSS alternatives? And any ideas why this is an underdeveloped area for open source?

Someone I am very close to has become increasingly isolated. She doesn't want to do anything except watch "documentaries" like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfzupXBlrIU She doesn't want to socialize, because "no one understands what's really going on." She mentioned recently that she has a Telegram account, so I'm assuming that's where at least some of this garbage is coming from. I'm worried about her. Her life is already hard, and this stuff is making her paranoid and more isolated than she already was.

Is there anything that helps bring people out of this?? I have my own radical ideas, but they are about the need to abolish capital and the State. This person has never really responded to leftist politics when I've brought it up, but maybe I need to try again. Any help or advice? I really worry about her.

I'm digging into the world of #FOSS #opensource and would like to help with existing projects. My programming chops are not sharp yet, but I'm a detail-oriented communicator who knows a bit about user testing.

How do I find projects on GitHub, GitLab, or other sites that need this kind of help? The machines I would be testing on are a potato desktop running Pop_OS Linux and an Android phone. Thanks in advance!
