Beats me, but I’m not ready to assume literally every black owned media company was late unless CNN explicitly says that, which was NOT explicitly said in the article. The article cites one that was late.

I only have the same article you do. I’m just not the one assuming The Atlanta Black Star is the only black-owned media outlet, or that every black owned media outlet was late.

Context would lead me to think there must be at least ten, or this demand would make little sense. But that’s a lower boundary.

Rep. Meeks also called on CNN to “immediately to credential a minimum of ten Black-owned media outlets

And also, I would imagine that they aren’t doing this bit of not-enough just for The Atlanta Black Star alone:

Hours before the debate, the Biden campaign will host a press briefing for members of Black-owned media.

There very well could be a legitimate thing going on here, but until CNN says “every black owned media outlet turned in their application late” I’m not going to assume that based off a sample size of one.

Yep. When I got out of bed this morning I would not have predicted this would be the day I’d have respect or sympathy for Paris Hilton.

All of 'em huh? One single media entity is mentioned in that quote. However:

“This afternoon we learned that CNN has credentialed 800 members of the media for the first presidential debate of the election cycle. Not one represents a Black-owned media outlet."

Unless your fiancee is also a homophobic bigot as a central component to her personality, then she’s probably OK with it.

I don’t support banning memes or the news either, but they aren’t under attack currently.

But those 8 men deserve it! /s

Schadenfreude intensifies…

I have servers on Digital Ocean and Linode and also one in my basement, and have had no problem. I do have all services behind NPM (not to suggest it’s a panacea) and use HTTPS/SSH for everything. (not to suggest HTTPS/SSH are either) My use case could be different than yours - my immediate family are my only consumers - but have been running the same services in those locations for a few years now without issue.

OK, correction accepted. I probably did conflate them with Broadcom. Someone should let those ubuntu folks know though… ;)

I swear in SMS on the daily, and have shared videos of pro-Palestine protests via sms also. I’m a bit dubious. I did read the article, and it sounds like one carrier-specific issue, and (unsurprisingly) MS allowing enterprise customers to control what is said on Teams.

So two examples that are each either platform or carrier specific.

I’m sorry for leaving out the word “desktop”. I’m well aware that Android runs the Linux kernel and that many embedded systems run Linux.

Possibly I conflated them with Broadcom, but I feel sure I recall Qualcomm’s lack of openness being problematic in the past also.

Edit - yeah, folks jumping through hoops for their wifi at least as recently as Ubuntu 20.04. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1277359/my-qualcomm-atheros-qca9377-wireless-adopter-is-not-working-in-ubuntu-20-04-lts

When did Qualcomm start giving a shit about Linux? They’ve been on my “hardware and chipsets to avoid if possible” list for pretty much ever.

It’s in the realm of “What’s their angle here?” when considering the current court. We need to make sure no one tells them they accidentally let the nation become just a tiny bit safer for some people.

It’s sad that I have to be amazed that they ruled as they did on such an obvious restriction, but I’m grateful they did.

I guess even a broken clock IS right twice a day.

Yes, he might have looked like this. But, probably not.

Going out on a limb, but I feel very certain he did NOT look like Michael Jackson.

2007 was YOTLD for me. Yours, dear Windows-using reader, is 2024, if you want it to be.
