Ukraine has assassinated high commabd in Moscow before, and more than once. They're especially focused on those involved in crime and terror against civilians, but also high command in general.

There's Russians sabotaging Russia as well, cooperating with Ukraine. If it's a package, could be an unbeknownst delivery.

Very unlikely this is false flag. This makes Russia look weak. For a false flag, if the target is publicity and the public, they'd go for public and symbolic with civilian casualties. This pushes fear and uncertainty into their command stricture. It weakens them.

The Army employee says they have not found the generative AI tools to be particularly useful for their work, and that when they have used the tools, they have found them to be unreliable.

Ran out of unlimited tokens for this?

This seems to be only about the administrative branch and for unclassified information. From the title, I was thinking of the Iran operation at first.

As for new things, I stumble upon them.

Sometimes (rarely) I swap to (digital) radio, and occasionally hear songs I'm interested there. From song, I often check out the artist's other songs too.

Sometimes (maybe always if they show up for me?) I check out songs or genres when they come up here on Lemmy. Not that it's been particularly successful in giving me new favorites or likes.

I find Arte Tracks quite interesting and it makes me look up genres and music. Not that it's been particularly successful in giving me new favorites.

Tracks reports on geek culture, current music, film and emerging artistic forms

YouTube Music algorithm streaming me new songs. When they stand out to me I give them a like, playlist them, and/or check out the artist. Soundcloud also has back-filling streaming modes and related songs.

Sometimes in videos (including online, series, anime here) I hear music that stands out to me and I look up.

As for switching up the kind of genre or platform, it's by mood or chance.

Taking this claim specifically:

No they let you opt out of sharing data with the hundreds 3rd parties they share your data with…by clicking reject next to each of their names on another page…

Hidden options are not "informed consent that is freely given".

I got very confused about the reported time scale. "week-long protests", quoting the minister with "10 days". Pretty sure I've seen reporting on the cockroach movement and protests between two to six weeks ago.

Later in the article the timespan gets mixed up.

Sonam Wangchuk, the renowned Indian engineer and activist who had galvanised the movement as he went on a 26-day hunger strike, celebrated the “victory of democracy, straight from the streets”.

For weeks, the Modi government had ignored the CJP protesters, but as support grew into ahuge mass movement this week, the government agreed to have a dialogue.

Wikipedia:

The 2026 Delhi Jantar Mantar protests, also referred to as the Indian Gen Z protests[13][14] and the Cockroach protests,[15][16] were a series of demonstrations initiated on 6 June 2026 by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP),

Sane regulation. You like to see it.

$7 billion required collateral. , $100 million annually, $15 billion

Oracle's argument of "this investment is worth $15 billion" is not only entirely besides the point, which the regulating government office rightfully refuses, but "'worth' in your state or city is entirely pointless if it incurs not that amount of local public gain but only public cost. It's a stupid, misleading argument.

I'm really interested in what that 21k employee loss mean in practice. In a hype-craze it's probably not sane restructuring and letting go of unneeded personal and inefficiencies, I assume.

As it often is, the source has more information, and significantly so. I also find it much easier and more informative to read. Simple direct speech, headlines, more concrete on what is exposed, more technical details, etc.

They didn't just send one email to report the vulnerability.

and on January 3rd I emailed nine people: the general info address, six individual staff members at clicktopray.org, and two contacts at popesprayer.va (the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network). No response. From any of them.

For July they have three entries of 'reported to Journalist' ("Dark Reading"), journalist contacted the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network, and 'still no response'.

They also posted an update about it being fixed on 2026-07-24 that it has been fixed.

The authorization check is there now: request your own user ID and you still get your email back, request someone else's and you get a public profile. Names are supposed to be public on a platform where you pray alongside other people, so what's left is what was always meant to be visible.

I also never got an email. Not an acknowledgment, not a thank you, not a "we've addressed this."

Given that The Register posted this article on 2026-07-24 22 UTC it must have been very unfortunate timing. Presumably they didn't check the source again before pressing publish? And also haven't noticed or bothered to include an information update.

From the source blog post, which has the update
