3 New AI Features Rolling out to Chrome Users on Linux
Google has announced a clutch of new AI-powered features have begun rolling out to users of Chrome on Windows, macOS, and —for once!— Linux.

I've always avoided GoDaddy for hosting because I always heard bad things about their hosting. But, honestly, I've received shitty support/hosting from the companies that are supposed to be good at hosting. Is GoDaddy really worse than all other hosting companies? To date, I've used 11 different hosting companies in my years on the internet. And you know what? They've all sucked.
Why should you hate the https://nitter.oksocial.net/search?q=%23UNCybercrimeTreaty ? That’s easy–it poses substantial risks to global cybersecurity. It fails to exempt good-faith security research, risking prosecution for security researchers and journalists whose work keeps our digital world safe! https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/07/journalists-and-security-researchers-risk-why-you-should-hate-proposed-un

AppImage Fan? Be Sure to Check Out ‘Gear Lever’
AppImages are great: a single runtime containing all of the required dependencies for the app to run, in a double-click binary you can run from anywhere on your system. And therein lies the rub. When I download an AppImage for software like Audacity, Kdenlive, etc., it’s to a folder or my desktop. To run it, I have navigate to the folder and double-click on the binary as unless I manually choose to create a .desktop launcher it won’t appear in any app launcher/menu. Solutions exist, of course. In 2022 I featured a terrific tool to integrate AppImages with Ubuntu easily.

KOSA, just passed by the Senate 91-3, will allow politicians and federal commissioners to decide what Americans should read and watch online. It’s a blatant attack on our free speech. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/07/kosa-internet-censorship-bill-just-passed-senate-its-our-last-chance-stop-it
