The Louisiana law is being challenged [1] I don't get why we can't instead have regulation requiring porn websites to implement adult content rating meta tags, which most porn sites already do (look at the site source sometime). [

Same, especially if you tend to read books by the same authors. Before Goodreads it was a huge pain to know when authors you liked were releasing new books. And being able to track all the books in a series is really nice too. I have noti

What I've found as a better metric of 'good' (at least for fiction) is the number of ratings, especially combined with star rating. If something has a high number of ratings it's popular enough that it's probably de

Twitch.tv vs Kick.com is a bit more complicated, right? Twitch claims it loses money on big streamers[1] and Kick is almost certainly being subsidized by online gambling company Stake[2][3]. [1] https://twitter.com/djfluffki

As someone who lives in Louisiana, this law is just really annoying by requiring ID for a few of the big porn sites. It doesn't prevent access to most sites, which don't implement it, or porn on sites like twitter or google, which

Just to note, MOVEit is (was?) used by banks, non-profits, healthcare companies, oil companies, airlines, etc. [1] So this hit a wide spectrum of services both public and private. [1] https://techcrunch.com/2023/06&#x2F

A lot of these sites are probably already breaking FTC rules. If one runs an affiliate link blog they're supposed to disclose that relationship when they show the links (and in a way that the reader won't easily miss it). [1] It w
