EDIT: The Malwarebytes article has been updated:

"After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case."

This confusion could've been easily avoided if Google was more clear in how they communicate with their users.

PSA to anyone who uses Gmail!

"Reportedly, Google has recently started automatically opting users in to allow Gmail to access all private messages and attachments for training its AI models. This means your emails could be analyzed to improve Google’s AI assistants, like Smart Compose or AI-generated replies. Unless you decide to take action."

On Saturday, a transphobic incident at the "free" side of Barton Springs, #Austin's popular swimming spot, escalated into violence involving multiple assaults including one hospitalized "good Samaritan."

I am in touch with multiple victims of the incident and working on a story. Please reach out if you have any tips or info. https://www.reddit.com/r/Austin/s/yGb7TClrgR

Does anyone here work for, or know someone who works for Tidepool? (https://www.tidepool.org) I'd really like to stop seeing this screen

It's 2025, and the web app works in Safari, so not sure why it's still presenting the screen. Change the UA and it works as advertised.

Also as a developer I’m curious to know why this choice was made, and why we’re detecting the UA and not features…

Please don't make me grovel for boosts ... it would be nice to just login...

Ouch, this sent a chill down my spine. [Tl;dr: GitHub locked a repo apparently because one of its contributors was in a US-sanctioned region]:

PLEASE BOOST SOMEONE'S LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT

Texas just introduced a bill that would criminalize gender transition for adults. It targets both hormones and surgery. Individuals who have already started hormones and have done the twelve required mental health sessions will still be forced to wean themselves off the medication.

It's not just a cut to state insurance funding for these procedures, it makes them completely illegal.

This is the most damaging trans bill I've seen introduced, ever. It's a complete medical prohibition on gender transition for all ages.

The prohibition is in Section 161.702:

"For the purpose of transitioning a person's biological sex as determined by the sex organs, chromosomes, and endogenous profiles of the person or affirming the person's perception of the person's sex if that perception is inconsistent with the person's biological sex, a physician or health care provider may not knowingly:"

And then it lists the procedures:

castration
vasectomy
hysterectomy
oophorectomy
metoidioplasty
orchiectomy
penectomy
phalloplasty
vaginoplasty
mastectomy
removal of any otherwise healthy or non-diseased body part or tissue
It also prohibits the following:

puberty suppression or blocking prescription drugs to stop or delay normal puberty
supraphysiologic doses of testosterone to females
supraphysiologic doses of estrogen to males
