Pokémon Go Scans Quietly Trained The Navigation Tech Now Headed Into Military Drones

::: spoiler Full article text Hundreds of millions of Pokémon Go players spent years filming the streets, parks, and buildings around them to earn in-game rewards. Those roughly 30 billion environmental scans are now owned by Niantic Spatial, and they helped train a camera-based navigation model that a U.S. defense contractor is preparing to put into drones and other military robots. Most of the players had no idea. The pipeline runs from a mobile game to the battlefield in three steps. Players scanned the physical world. Niantic Spatial turned those scans into a 3D map that lets a machine locate itself by sight when satellite signals fail. And in December 2025, Niantic Spatial announced a partnership with Vantor, the defense and intelligence firm formerly known as Maxar Intelligence, to fuse that ground-level system with Vantor’s aerial navigation software for use in GPS-denied operations. I have spent years covering how drones lose their way the moment an electronic warfare unit switches on a jammer, a problem that has spread from the battlefield into civilian airspace, from Ukrainian workshops cycling through navigation generations to American programs scrambling for alternatives. The unsettling part of this story is not the technology. It is where the training data came from, and whether the people who supplied it would have agreed had anyone explained the destination. Pokémon Players Filmed Their Surroundings for Rewards and Fed a 3D Map Since 2021, Pokémon Go has asked players to record short videos of real-world locations, called Pokéstops, to earn extra in-game items. Scanning all the buildings, streets, and trees in a 360-degree sweep was optional, and Niantic asked separately for permission to keep the footage. Granting it meant agreeing to extra terms. Those terms handed Niantic a transferable, sublicensable license to the scans, meaning the company could resell the imagery to third parties. Floris De Hingh, a 34-year-old Dutch player who downloaded the game on its first available day in 2016, told Trouw he never connected the footage he captured to a system that would steer military drones. “I was just playing a game,” he said. He had even scanned the inside of his own apartment. The collected scans, around 30 billion of them according to Trouw, became the raw material for a Visual Positioning System, or VPS. Where GPS depends on a satellite signal, VPS works out where a camera is by matching what it sees against a detailed 3D model of the world. Two recognizable reference points a few pixels wide can be enough to fix a location. Niantic Spatial CTO Brian McClendon, who previously led the team behind Google Maps, Google Earth, and Street View, has said the approach suits robots operating where GPS regularly drops out, such as dense cities, and where signals are deliberately blocked, such as war zones. Vantor Will Pair the Ground Map With Aerial Drone Navigation The Vantor partnership, announced on December 16, 2025, joins two positioning systems into one. Niantic Spatial handles localization on the ground by aligning a camera feed against its model. Vantor’s Raptor software, launched in February 2025, does the same job in the air using a drone’s camera and Vantor’s proprietary 3D terrain data. Combined, the companies say, a drone overhead and a vehicle or dismounted operator below can share the same coordinates in real time with no satellite link. The principle is already turning up on the other side of the front, where a downed Russian drone was found matching live camera feeds against preloaded terrain imagery rather than trusting a single GPS module. Vantor’s own framing is blunt about the problem it targets. The joint release names GPS “unavailability, spoofing, interference, and jamming” as the vulnerability, and lists autonomous drones, vehicles, augmented reality glasses, and other field assets as the platforms meant to run on the shared system. Niantic Spatial’s go-to-market lead told defense outlet Tectonic the goal is thousands of devices operating on one coordinate framework in an electronic-warfare-heavy environment. Field testing of the integrated system is planned for early 2026. Vantor is not a startup dabbling in defense. Rebranded from Maxar Intelligence on October 1, 2025, it is a prime contractor to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, holding a follow-on award worth $70 million under the agency’s Global Enhanced GEOINT Delivery program, which serves more than 400,000 U.S. government users. This is a company built around national security imagery, now adding GPS-independent navigation to its catalog. Vantor Denies Using the Pokémon Game Data, Then Declines to Rule It Out Asked directly whether the military-bound system relies on Pokémon Go imagery, Vantor told Trouw it would not use the game’s data. The company then declined to say whether the model it plans to deploy was trained on those scans in the past. Niantic Spatial, responding to earlier questions about a separate deal, said the scans were used to train an “early version” of its navigation model. On the defense partnership specifically, the company said it had no new information to share. That gap is the heart of the dispute. Jeroen van den Hoven, a professor of ethics and technology at TU Delft, told Trouw the conclusion is hard to avoid. “Without the huge number of scans from all those gamers, the development of this system would never have progressed so quickly,” he said. He added that AI models begin with a dataset and then absorb far more data until the original contributions blur into patterns that can no longer be traced. Once a scan is folded into the model, in other words, proving it is or is not in there becomes nearly impossible. Van den Hoven did not condemn battlefield VPS outright. If it helps Ukraine win a just war against an aggressor, he said, that is a good development. His worry is the system falling into the wrong hands, and the broader pattern of players being misled about where their data goes. He called the episode a red flag. Niantic’s Roots Run Back to a CIA-Backed Mapping Firm The military turn looks less like a swerve once you trace the company’s lineage. Niantic grew out of Keyhole, a geographic data firm that took funding in 2003 from In-Q-Tel, the venture arm financed by the CIA. An In-Q-Tel release from that year stated Keyhole’s services were used to support U.S. troops during the Iraq War. Google bought Keyhole the following year, and Keyhole CEO John Hanke went on to lead the team behind Google Maps, Google Earth, and Street View. Hanke formed Niantic Labs inside Google in 2010, then spun it out in 2015. The company collected camera imagery from players once before, through its 2014 game Ingress, using the same method later applied in Pokémon Go. In 2025 the structure split again: Scopely, owned by Saudi Arabia’s Savvy Games Group and ultimately the kingdom’s Public Investment Fund, acquired Niantic’s games business for $3.5 billion in a deal that closed in late May, while the technology platform spun off as the standalone Niantic Spatial under Hanke. The games went to a Saudi sovereign wealth fund. The map went to defense. The Consent Question Reaches Far Beyond One Game Pokémon Go is not the only camera in your pocket feeding a map. Meta’s smart glasses continuously scan a wearer’s surroundings, Apple’s AR hardware builds 3D models of interiors, and Waymo’s self-driving cars reconstruct detailed street layouts. Niantic Spatial has signaled interest in more indoor footage specifically, and in March 2025 it announced a deal with Coco Robotics to guide delivery robots already rolling through U.S. cities and Helsinki. Iris Muis, a data-ethics expert at Utrecht University’s Data School, framed the trap plainly: a user cannot picture how their data might be used later. Maybe in five years there is an application with effects you fundamentally disagree with. British game designer Adrian Hon has gone further, advising Pokémon Go players to stop making scans and consider smaller games less likely to resell data. De Hingh, who quit the game over a year ago because he was tired of the updates rather than the data terms, called the news an enormous eye-opener. “A game should stay a game,” he said. ::: spoiler DroneXL’s Take [This section is just warmonger puke only included for the sake of mirroring completely] The navigation problem this solves is real, and DroneXL has documented it from the trenches. When I wrote about Ukraine’s FirePoint in March, the detail that stuck was not the 200 strike drones a day. It was that the company had built seven generations of navigation systems in roughly three years, landing on a terrain-matching setup that uses a cheap night camera to fly without GPS. Russia can jam GPS. It cannot jam a drone that does not need it. Visual positioning is the same insight, scaled up and packaged for export. So I am not going to pretend GPS-denied navigation is sinister on its face. It is one of the most important capability gaps in the industry, the reason Shield AI’s V-BAT keeps flying when radio links die, the reason the Pentagon’s Drone Dominance evaluations are adding GPS denial to Phase II this year. The discomfort here is narrower and sharper. The training data came from people who thought they were catching Pikachu, under a license most never read, sold up a chain that ends at a sovereign wealth fund and a defense prime. Consent obtained for a game is not consent for a weapons program, even if the end use turns out to be defensible. Vantor’s non-answer is what I would watch. The company says it will not use Pokémon Go data and refuses to say whether the model it is fielding was already trained on it. Those are not the same statement, and the difference is the whole story. Van den Hoven is right that once scans are baked into a model, tracing them back is close to impossible, which conveniently makes the denial unfalsifiable. The early-2026 field tests will tell us whether this air-to-ground system is real or a press release. They will not tell us whose footage is inside the model, and so far nobody at either company will. ::: Sources: Trouw, Volkskrant.

come rule today? [OC, brainmade]

wowie zowie turns out setting up a secure home server is easier than i thought. ANYWAY! see this cool video which i stole from the official website: ::: spoiler what is a Veloren? you heard of cube world? yes you have. fun game, dev made bad design decisions, everyone is stuck with a weirdly limiting progression tree. Veloren looks like cube world, plays kinda like cube world and has gliders and stuff. its online, you can get in groups with people, there is ingame chat, you can collect… sunflower and cotton boll and such. collect some sticks and rocks, make a pickaxe at a towns crafting table and head to a cave to get some minerals! (you can see those on the map) there are plenty dungeons and stuff and overworld bosses to fight. the NPCs are fun, you can trade with them, all kinds of necklaces and clothings to get. its plenty fun. its a game i can play when i dont know what to play. which is a good kind of game, i think. ::: ::: spoiler why should i play on this server and not the official one? there is literally no reason. the official server has similar ping times to freedom land to my server, because both are based in Germany. oh well. ::: ::: spoiler will it run on my potato tho? probably yes. it runs well on my no-GPU ThinkPad on minimal settings (which still looks pretty nice) at like - 40-60 fps. I have this processor 13th Gen Intel Core i5-1345U (12) @ 1.6GHz according to hyfetch, and the game runs well in power-saving mode. there’s only one way to find out for your system tho. ::: ::: spoiler how do i get the game? Rust Fans you can use cargo to install the game on GNU/Linux, Winblows and mac using this one-liner: cargo install airshipper the game should appear in your software list now. Literally anyone else see here. the official instructions are great. ::: ::: spoiler i have the game. how i join the server? with the launcher open, click that Download button. It’ll pull the latest game version. After that, Launch it. At the login screen, replace that server.veloren.net with marias-stuff.duckdns.org, enter your preferred username and password and hit Multiplayer. You will be registered automagically and sent to the character creation screen. on the right side you will see a map. click the arrows until it says “Gwarlic”. That will be your initial spawn location. ::: ::: spoiler im in the game, what do i do? move around, try out all the keys you got. move forward and press middle-mouse-button. try climbing trees. dont attack the villagers. they are pretty strong. sit at a campfire to set that as your spawn. leave town, collect some stuff, try yourself at some monsters and sell your findings for profit and maybe purchase some clothing from NPCs. the game is much better with more people around. ::: ::: spoiler oh no an error please tell me about it in the comments or put a dm. the game will warn that my authentication server may be unsafe… but its not. trust me. i only store hashed passwords, meaning: nothing sensitive besides your username. by handling auth myself, we dont have to fight with the official server username list, where most names are already taken. ::: i hope to see you mayhaps visiting Gwarlic sometime. to change your password, visit here. If you forgot your password, well… send me a dm. I can’t verify that you own your username sooo… we will figure it out, okay? EDIT: yesyes, the IP exposes my location, whatever, happy maria-finding everyone!

Colorado Gov. Polis Signs New Conversion Therapy Ban, Defying Supreme Court

The Center on Colfax Erin In The Morning is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a subscriber. This week, Governor Jared Polis signed a landmark new conversion therapy ban bill into law—the first of its kind following the devastating Supreme Court ruling that legalized conversion therapy on LGBTQ+ people nationwide. The bill defies the ruling through a clever mechanism: rather than banning conversion therapy outright, it allows survivors to sue the practitioners who subjected them to it, using a private right of action—notably, the same legal mechanism first pioneered by Republicans to get around Roe v. Wade in Texas. The new law comes in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s 8-1 decision in Chiles v. Salazar, which found Colorado’s 2019 conversion therapy ban unconstitutional, effectively legalizing the discredited practice across the country. The law takes effect July 1, 2026. Once it takes effect, it should immediately make conversion therapy financially prohibitive in the state, as any practitioner who engages in it faces unlimited civil liability with no statute of limitations on claims. The law targets what it defines as “sexual orientation or gender identity change efforts”—any practice by a licensed therapist that steers a patient toward a predetermined outcome regarding their sexual orientation or gender identity. That definition is deliberately outcome-based rather than viewpoint-based. The Supreme Court struck down Colorado’s 2019 ban because, they ruled, it restricted what therapists could say, declaring it viewpoint discrimination. The new law doesn’t restrict speech at all. Instead, creates civil liability for what therapists do to their patients. If a therapist practices conversion therapy on their patient, the patient can sue—for economic damages, noneconomic damages, and, if the conduct was willful, exemplary damages. There is no statute of limitations. The claim even survives the patient’s death, allowing families to bring suit for up to five years afterward. Importantly, the law protects affirming care and exempts it from lawsuits: any therapy that provides “acceptance, support, and understanding” or facilitates “identity exploration and development” as long as it does not steer towards a predetermined conclusion is shielded from liability. The legal architecture should sound familiar. In 2021, Texas used a private right of action in SB 8 to effectively ban abortion while Roe v. Wade was still the law of the land. Rather than the government enforcing the ban, the law allowed any private citizen to sue anyone who performed or aided an abortion—and because there was no government actor to enjoin, courts couldn’t block it. Abortion access in Texas collapsed overnight. Kansas used the same mechanism in SB 244, which allows lawsuits against transgender people for using restrooms matching their gender identity. Colorado has now taken that same constitutional loophole and aimed it in the opposite direction. The government cannot ban conversion therapy after Chiles. But nothing in Chiles prevents a patient from suing a therapist who harmed them. The state isn’t punishing speech. Survivors are seeking accountability for injury—the same principle that has always allowed patients to sue doctors for malpractice. The law was written to foreclose attempts to argue that affirming therapy is conversion therapy, a favorite claim by the far-right. Its definition targets therapists who steer patients toward “a predetermined outcome”—affirming a patient’s own self-understanding is, by definition, not a predetermined outcome imposed by the therapist. The carveouts are explicit and layered: therapy that is “neutral with respect to sexual orientation and gender identity,” therapy that facilitates a patient’s own “identity exploration and development,” and therapy related to a patient’s relationships or sexual behaviors are all protected, provided none of them steer toward a predetermined result. And the law’s causation standard requires courts to weigh the nature and intensity of the efforts, the patient’s age and vulnerability, the professional relationship, and expert testimony on the psychological effects of conversion therapy—a standard that is unlikely to be satisfied by anti-trans activists posing as medical experts in a state like Colorado. Governor Polis chose to sign the law at The Center on Colfax, an LGBTQ community center in Denver, on the first day of Pride Month. After signing, he said in a statement: “People shouldn’t be ripped off by those falsely claiming that they can change who you are attracted to or who you are. In our Colorado for all, everyone can live authentically, and should not be subject to hateful and simply ineffective conversion therapy. Conversion Therapy is harmful, can traumatize kids, and is a scam to waste people’s hard-earned money.” Polis also signed an accompanying executive order directing state agencies to ensure that no state funds are used for conversion therapy. “It is critical that we as policymakers listen to trusted scientific organizations when they tell us a practice is harmful. For over a decade, we’ve known that ‘conversion therapy’ increases suicidality and exacerbates depression and anxiety for LGBTQ+ Coloradans,” said Senator Mullica in a statement. “In light of the Supreme Court’s recent ruling, it’s vital that we create avenues for those who have been subjected to ‘conversion therapy’ to get some justice.” The new law will go into effect on July 1st.

Bootstrapping Rust is a Terrible Nightmare

Personally, I am not too concerned about that situation, but if I were a software developer from Russia, China, North Korea or Iran, I would be slightly more concerned of having to download a binary Rust compiler from a remote U.S. server. What could go possibly wrong? Kind of awestruck to see such a grounded take from a German consulting guy.

Is it possible to install a distro directly from online ?

Others are answering what you technically asked, but I think that’s not what you’re looking for. What you need is a ‘live USB version’, you run it from a usb stick and can try it without installing anything in your main drive. Here is the link to the page with the links in mxlinux.com. Now you have to make another decision, which desktop you want to use. Mx Linux’s got three, xfce (known for being less demanding on resources), kde (bit windows-like, not that resource hungry either. It’s worth a try), and Fluxbox (I don’t know anything about this one). You might as well download and try the three of them. Just flashing them to the usb to try another. Now the process. First you need one or more iso files (downloaded from trustable sources like the one from mxlinux.org itself, you also can check the checsum, but maybe too nerd just yet), a USB stick (probably 16gb or even 8 could be enough, but I’m not sure exactly. Pick a fast one if you can, it’ll feel quite snappier. THE DATA IN THE DRIVE WILL BE LOST), and Rufus (this is a program to flash the iso into the usb stick). Now read the pages I linked, and maybe follow the links there for explanations, I cannot tell you how to use rufus since it’s been ages since I’ve touched it, but it’s not so hard. May get a couple tries to flash the iso into a bootable usb (meaning the computer can boot or start running the os in that drive) but you’ve got this! Run rufus and flash one of the isos into the usb stick. Now try to boot it. Look up how to get into your ‘boot menu’ (preferable if available, and it works. But it might not…) or ‘bios setup’ on the internet. It depends on the brand and model. You’ll have to turn it off, and push some key just immediately after turning it on again, with your flashed usb stick plugged. If we’re lucky you must see some text menu that lets you chose it to boot, and you’ll be running Linux in a few seconds, hopefully. Now when you’re ready to install one of them into your computer’s drive you have two options, dual booting keeping windows and putting also Linux for which you’ll need a free partition or ssd for it, or if you are convinced of getting rid of windows for good just chose the easy formatting options while installing and that’ll be it (THE DATA IN THE DRIVE WILL BE LOST). If something doesn’t go as planned or you have any doubts don’t hesitate to make follow up questions, it’s normal if you have to repeat some steps or search the internet to troubleshoot something, but Linux has become super easy to install and use (it really is much worse with windows or Mac…) so good luck and welcome to Linux!

how to avoid malware in ubuntu linux?

Mostly avoid downloading and running packages from sources you don’t trust. And if you’re going to run something you don’t fully trust, try to run it sandboxed (like firejail or a vm, for example). Linux is generally safer than Windows because a lot of malware are created to exploit Windows weakness… also, if you use Flatpak (sepecially verified ones) or your distro package manager, you will hardly get infected.

how to avoid malware in ubuntu linux?

Did ubuntu fix the issue where if a package with the same name exists in both the actual repository and in the snap store, it will silently install the one from the snap store? I remember an attack where someone uploaded a package to the snap store with the same name as a different repo package, and people were downloading the “malicious” (it wasn’t actually malicious, just a proof of the attack vector) package instead. If they haven’t fixed that yet, then yeah can’t trust the package manager either, on ubuntu specifically.

nesbot/carbon shady sponsors

nesbot/carbon is a popular date time library for php, included by default in Laravel, for example. It has amassed almost 700 million downloads on packagist.org. Yesterday, I was looking through the repository, looking for documentation, when I noticed the sponsor section of their readme. Almost all of the companies listed are betting/gambling sites, some of them specifically made to circumvent for example GamStop, Britain’s system where gamblers can block themselves from gambling. One of the sponsor’s images links to a TrustPilot profile that has been removed for breaking their guidelines. Until just now I had not even noticed the “show more” button. I found at least another one with a deleted TrustPilot profile. There’s so many more. I raised an issue about this on their repository, but it just got deleted, not closed. What the hell is going on here? Why are all these shady companies sponsoring this project? Is the one circumventing GamStop even legal?

Concerned Ape (Stardew Valley): I swear on the honor of my family name, i will never charge money for a DLC or update for as long as I live. Screencap this and shame me if I ever violate this oath.

The sad part is that the idea behind DLCs (to develop further content for a game already released, in exchange for additional money) is reasonable. Or it would be, if shitty developers didn’t abuse it to the point that it stopped being “downloadable content” to become “dumb and lazy cashgrab”. I also think that CA isn’t just being benign with this statement, or his whole “let us not be arseholes” approach towards development. He’s being smart; player trust might be hard to measure but it has direct impact on word-of-mouth advertisement and piracy, so it’s basically the difference between “everybody knows it, plenty bought it” and “the few ones who know it pirated it”.

I’ve gotten back into tinkering on a little Rust game project, it has about a dozen dependencies on various math and gamedev libraries. When I go to build (just like with npm in my JavaScript projects) cargo needs to download and build just over 200 projects. 3 of them build and run “install scripts” which are just also rust programs. I know this because my anti-virus flagged each of them and I had to allow them through so my little roguelike would build. Like, what are we even suppose to tell “normal people” about security? “Yeah, don’t download files from people you don’t trust and never run executables from the web. How do I install this programming utility? Blindly run code from over 300 people and hope none of them wanted to sneak something malicious in there.” I don’t want to go back to the days of hand chisling every routine into bare silicon by hand, but i feel l like there must be a better system we just haven’t devised yet.

New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux?

So usually people do install Linux software from trusted software repositories. Linux practically invented the idea of the app store a full ten years before the first iPhone came out and popularized the term “app.” The problem with the Mullvad VPN is that their app is not in the trusted software repositories of most Linux distributions. So you are required to go through a few extra steps to first trust the Mullvad software repositories, and then install their VPN app the usual way using apt install or from the software center. You could just download the “.deb” file and double click on it, but you will have to download and install all software security updates by hand. By going through the extra steps to add Mullvad to your trusted software repository list, you will get software security updates automatically whenever you install all other software updates on your computer. Most Linux distros don’t bother to make it easy for you to add other trusted software repositories because it can be a major security risk if you trust the wrong people. So I suppose it is for the best that the easiest way to install third-party software is to follow the steps you saw on the website.

Business motives don’t explain the right-wing turn of the Washington Post and CBS. Billionaire ideology does.

Amazon founder and Executive Chairman Jeff Bezos made news earlier this week by claiming the reason he fired 30 percent of the Washington Post’s staff and rebranded it as a more conservative media outlet is because its previous iteration was not a “profitable enterprise” and it needed to be. This is consistent with previous arguments he’s made as to why he moved the traditionally centrist—if neoconservative on foreign policy—newspaper more visibly to the right wing since Trump took office in early 2025. SORKIN: Why lay people off at the Post? Why fire people? BEZOS: Because the Post needs to be a profitable enterprise that stands on its own two feet SORKIN: Does it? Some people say it should be a trust BEZOS: Yes. It’s a measure of its relevance. If people aren’t paying for… pic.twitter.com/ENtR4t6S58 — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 20, 2026 CBS News, after its parent corporation Paramount was purchased by the multibillionaire Ellison family last year, also had a similar, more overt right-wing rebrand, bringing in self-identified “zionist fanatic” Bari Weiss to run CBS News and crack down on stories deemed too critical of Trump while disciplining anything perceived as too progressive. This culminated with a much-mocked statement of “10 journalistic principles” a la Citizen Kane, followed by “5 guiding principles” for CBS Evening News, both of which read like LLM-generated marketing copy for a local Dodge dealership. “Our foundational values of liberty, equality and the rule of law,” reads the third principle, “make us [Americans, presumably] the last best hope on Earth. We also believe in Franklin’s famous line about America as a republic—if we can keep it. We aim to do our part every night…” The views for [the Washington Post’s] last 20 YouTube videos—combined—are less than the downloads I get for a single episode of my own podcast, which I record in my kid’s bedroom next to a stuffed elephant. Both the Ellisons and Bezos—and their respective functionaries—framed their pivot explicitly in marketing terms. Which, of course, they would. Being ideological, or concerned with other unrelated business interests, is considered gauche and even may run afoul of securities law which requires them, at least in theory, to use business properties to expand the shareholder value of those invested in said properties, not unrelated business interests or their own ideological agendas. But there’s only one problem with this alibi: there’s no evidence there’s a market for yet another generic, right-of-center publication pumping out Club for Growth and regime change schlock. The Post’s opinion page is now a dreary, manifestly unpopular torrent of stuffy Republican talking points with none of the vaguely populist appeal of raw MAGA-ism. Indeed, in the first year of the right-wing pivot, the Post still lost $100 million, which is roughly what it lost in 2024, the last year of its more center-left branding. Let us take a look at the sizzling view counts and viral sensationalism of their Opinion page rebrand, “Make It Make Sense”: The Post, as I noted at the time for TRNN, purged its opinion page of its actually popular writers and replaced them with charmless Economist and Wall Street Journal also-rans so they can spew libertarian cliches, tedious anti-woke screeds and––for some reason––revisionist positive takes on Herbert Hoover. Washington Post hip vertical content update! an unaccountably sweaty James Hohmann bashing Bernie’s wealth tax mindless cheerleading of Trump’s Iran attack Herbert Hoover (??) hagiography an unaccountably sweaty James Hohmann defending Congress trading stocks pic.twitter.com/sHV93GHjc4 — Adam Johnson (@adamjohnsonCHI) March 4, 2026 This is clearly the content kids these days are crying out for. Their X account for these videos often gets only one or two retweets, and the views for their last 20 YouTube videos—combined—are less than the downloads I get for a single episode of my own podcast, which I record in my kid’s bedroom next to a stuffed elephant. CBS News ratings have similarly continued to decline since their anti-woke rebrand. This is most apparent with Weiss’ pet project, the revamped CBS Evening News, where she brought on her preferred company-man himbo, Tony Dokoupil, to awkwardly loiter in Real America-coded diners, Sparks and Steam factories, and other such homespun imagery, while delivering a recap of the day’s events with all the gravitas of a local plaintiff’s attorney commercial. Dokoupil’s most notable journalistic contribution before being awarded the coveted Evening News anchor desk by Weiss was dressing down author Ta-Nehisi Coates and implying he was a terrorist because he wrote too sympathetically of Palestinians. This is consistent with Weiss’ history of promoting tabloid propaganda for Israel, and the Ellisons, who are the largest private donors to Israel’s military. Ratings for CBS Evening News have declined by about 20 percent since Weiss’ Real American Values rebrand. This “marketing pivot” narrative is largely repeated uncritically by US media, who all have to act like there’s nothing else going on but organic marketing concerns. “The billionaire newspaper owner, dissatisfied by years of losses, wants the newsroom to double productivity with half its budget,” read one typically credulous New York Times subheadline on his “shake up” of the Post. This isn’t to say these oligarchs want to lose money on their ventures, but they want to be profitable within the narrow confines of very specific ideological goals that align both with other business interests and their own political agenda. “What’s so confounding about the attempt to meddle with/potentially gut 60 Minutes is it’s arguably the one thing that’s working,” wrote Vanity Fair’s Aidan McLaughlin on social media incredulously about Weiss’ interventions. “10 – 12 million people tune into every episode. It’s the most watched primetime broadcast in America. Why destroy that audience?” This “shaking up dying business model” framing is uniformly adopted by Weiss’ elite media peers. “For Bari Weiss critics two mull,” Axios co-founder Jim VandeHei wrote in January. “If your business is built on shows with shrinking audiences, made up of old people with shrinking years left, watching a shrinking medium w/ a shrinking future, it’s Mission Impossible. Only a revolutionary/radical shift can adjust this reality.” But Weiss and Bezos’ right-wing turns have very little to do with ratings, clicks, eyeballs, or market demands. It’s not at all “revolutionary” or “radical,” it’s simply a more supercharged and nakedly ideological orientation of the typical pro-capitalist, pro-war media consensus the public has been fed for decades. It’s the same pro-corporate framing despite Americans growing increasingly populist on matters of economics; the same pro-Israel, pro-war schlock despite Americans becoming increasingly anti-Israel and anti-war. This dubious “market demand” framing was made most absurd when Weiss insisted last November that to win over Middle America—which she assessed had “lost trust” in mainstream media—CBS ought to hire the “charismatic” Alan Dershowitz, an 87-year-old Trump partisan best known for defending the increasingly unpopular Israel and befriending and apologizing for Jeffrey Epstein and pedophilia more broadly. The reality is the Washington Post’s annual losses are only 0.03 percent of Bezos’ net worth. The Paramount purchase was less than 10 percent of the Ellisons’ net worth (and most of it wasn’t their money, in any event) and CBS’s right-wing turn has been essential to building political support for the Ellisons’ real prize: the purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery, which includes control over HBO and CNN. This isn’t to say these oligarchs want to lose money on their ventures, but they want to be profitable within the narrow confines of very specific ideological goals that align both with other business interests and their own political agenda. For Bezos it’s clear that means generic pro-capitalist, pro-war, more conventional Republican content. For the Ellisons, and Weiss, it’s pro-capitalist and pro-security state ideology mixed with anti-woke hobby horses like trans and college kid-bashing and, of course, defending and promoting the long-term PR goals of Israel. It’s under this rubric that these somewhat bizarre and manifestly unpopular rebrands make sense. They’re not chasing “middle America” or an increasingly cynical public turned off by mainstream media; they’re turning a relatively small part of their overall investment portfolio into an ideological playtoy, either to suck up to Trump, channel their their own right-wing grievances, shore up their massive security state investments, or—as is most likely the case—a combination of all of the above. It’s essential we understand this, or we’ll continue to misdiagnose what motivates these overt and illiberal media rebrands. From The Real News Network via This RSS Feed.

Xavier Becerra Pushed to Inflate a Black Man’s IQ to Execute Him as California AG

When leading California gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra was state attorney general, his office pushed the state Supreme Court to artificially inflate a Black man’s IQ in order to execute him. Following the lead of his predecessor, former California Attorney General Kamala Harris, Becerra’s office was battling a defense that argued Robert Lewis, originally sentenced to death in 1991, was ineligible for execution because he was intellectually disabled. Lewis’s attorney, Robert Sanger, told The Intercept that while individual attorneys general can’t control everything their deputies do, he was disappointed with how Becerra’s office handled the case. “I was kind of feeling like it would be a good time for the AG to say, ‘OK, we tried and he’s intellectually disabled. We got that determination made. Let’s just let it go,’” Sanger recalled. “Instead, it went all the way to oral arguments in front of the [state] Supreme Court.” The effort failed: The Supreme Court of California overturned Lewis’s death sentence in 2018, and the state legislature overwhelmingly passed a measure banning the practice of adjusting IQ based on race in death penalty cases two years later. Becerra is now polling first in the crowded race to replace term-limited Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom. His campaign had at first lagged behind his opponents, but then-Rep. Eric Swalwell was hit with explosive sexual assault allegations — which he denies — and dropped out, and Becerra surged to the front of the field. He’s just ahead of Trump-backed Republican candidate Steve Hilton, followed by Tom Steyer, the hedge-fund billionaire racking up endorsements from progressive groups including Our Revolution and praise from the California chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. In Lewis’s case, Becerra picked up where Harris left off; her office had been the first to ask the courts to artificially inflate Lewis’s IQ so the state could execute him. “On the one hand, he’s part of a long line of Democratic attorney generals who have taken this approach of, ‘It’s not my problem,’ not accepting responsibility for what their criminal attorneys are doing in court,” said Natasha Minsker, who leads the California Anti-Death Penalty Coalition, which helped push the bill banning the practice of race-based IQ adjustments for people on death row. “On the other hand, it just demonstrates where their true priorities and values are.” [ Related Prosecutor Floating Death Penalty for Nick Reiner Knows It’s an Empty Threat](https://theintercept.com/2025/12/24/nick-reiner-death-penalty-nathan-hochman-la/) Becerra has not taken a clear public position on the death penalty in his gubernatorial campaign, but his critics have raised concerns about his pursuit of executions at a time when his party was moving in the opposite direction. He has said he has “serious reservations” about the death penalty and voted for a 2016 state ballot measure to abolish it in California, where the state hasn’t executed anyone since 2006. Still, two years after his vote, Becerra’s office argued to execute Lewis. Though Newsom imposed a moratorium on capital punishment in 2019, Becerra fought to uphold death penalty sentences during the Covid-19 pandemic. And though he oversaw law enforcement for four years in California, a state that has significantly cut its prison population in recent years and adopted other reforms under pressure from activists, Becerra’s criminal justice record has not played a large part in his gubernatorial campaign. After serving as California attorney general, Becerra was named secretary of Health and Human Services during the Biden administration. His name recognition from that post, plus 24 years in Congress, have earned him endorsements from Democrats including Reps. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., and Ted Lieu, D-Calif.; state and local elected officials; and several labor unions including SEIU California, California State Council of Laborers, and the United Nurses Associations of California. Still, his former colleagues from his time leading HHS raised eyebrows as his campaign gathered speed after Swalwell’s exit, and some of Becerra’s critics have seized on his overseeing of migrant children as HHS secretary. Also looming behind his surge is a criminal trial involving his former political adviser and Newsom’s former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, who pleaded guilty on Thursday to three felonies in a corruption case involving scheme to steal money from Becerra’s campaign**.** In a statement last week after the plea, Becerra said; “As I said from day one, I was not involved, I did nothing wrong. And now the record confirms it. We can close the book on this.” Becerra’s criminal justice record has received less scrutiny in the gubernatorial race, where Becerra is competing with Republican opponents stressing their own tough-on-crime bonafides. Becerra’s campaign website outlines his priorities as fighting Donald Trump, building more affordable housing, lowering costs, building clean energy, improving California’s disaster preparedness, channeling AI “for human benefit,” and addressing homelessness. It does not have a specific page devoted to criminal justice. “Democratic politicians want to take credit for the progressive things they did as attorney general, but they are not taking responsibility for the regressive positions that the office advanced under their leadership.” In response to a questionnaire from the political arm of the California chapters of the American Civil Liberties Union, which declined to comment on Becerra’s record for this story, Becerra said he agrees with reforms like prioritizing prevention strategies over punitive sentencing and improving funding and staffing for public defender’s offices. He also said he would support banning facial recognition in police body cameras, more public access to police records, and having social service workers respond to homelessness and mental health crises instead of police. “We see this repeatedly,” Minsker said. “Democratic politicians want to take credit for the progressive things they did as attorney general, but they are not taking responsibility for the regressive positions that the office advanced under their leadership.” Becerra’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment. While Becerra has not had to thoroughly address his criminal justice record yet on the campaign trail, the topic plagued his predecessor as attorney general, Kamala Harris, when she ran for president in 2020. Harris, who served as California attorney general from 2011 to 2017 and San Francisco district attorney before that, faced myriad attacks from left and right that hampered her first presidential bid over her prosecutorial record while she campaigned as a reformer. At the time, activists across the United States were animated by the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, which set off a wave of protests and heightened scrutiny of so-called “tough on crime” politics. Six years later, the political winds have largely shifted**.** [ Related Alabama Begs Supreme Court to Make It Easier to Execute People With Intellectual Disabilities](https://theintercept.com/2025/12/14/hamm-v-smith-supreme-court-death-penalty-disability/) Sanger, the attorney in the IQ death penalty case, said he felt that some of the attacks on Harris were unfair, because attorneys general “can’t go through and regulate every single thing that their deputies do in these very complex cases.” But, he added, he’s been generally dissatisfied with California’s last three top prosecutors. “I have been disappointed in each one of those attorneys general in not taking a more active role with their deputy attorneys general, and with them not taking a position on the death penalty,” Sanger said. As attorney general, Becerra also faced criticism for shielding police from measures designed to hold them accountable. Two major California newspaper editorial boards wrote scathing criticisms in 2019 saying Becerra sided with law enforcement “against public transparency” and had betrayed both “public trust and the law” by not complying with a state police transparency law. At the time, Becerra threatened to charge journalists with crimes unless they destroyed a list of police officers convicted of crimes. Becerra took more than $300,000 in campaign funds from law enforcement unions in his run for attorney general. The political action committee for the California Correctional Peace Officers Association, a state prison guards’ union, gave $320,000 to a group backing Becerra and other candidates that cycle. News outlets raised questions about his ability to “police the police,” while owing much of his campaign support to their unions. The prison guard’s union gave $25,000 in March to a group opposing Steyer. The group, “California is Not for Sale, No on Steyer for Governor 2026, a Coalition of Housing Advocates, Labor and Small Business,” is spending $24 million against Steyer and is backed by the state’s real estate and energy industries. Steyer is self-funding his campaign with more than $120 million. The CCPOA did not respond to a request for comment. The prison guards’ union is one of many special interest groups that have played an outsized role in California politics, said James King, a formerly incarcerated prison reform advocate in Oakland. King, who is supporting Steyer, said the CCPOA was spending against Steyer because he is campaigning against those kinds of special interests. Plus, the union wants to preserve its budget, which has increased even as the state has shrunk its prison population in recent years, King said. “It’s deeply ironic” that groups including the CCPOA “are funding an initiative called ‘California is Not for Sale,’” King said. “They have shown time and time again that they are only interested in advancing the status quo. And it’s clear that any candidate they are working to oppose and spending money to oppose, they must see as a threat to the status quo.” In 2020, Becerra sided with law enforcement again to oppose a bill to require independent state investigations of police killings after previously having refused to conduct an independent investigation into the police killing of 22-year-old Sean Monterrosa, whom a police officer shot in the back of the head. Becerra’s office later launched an investigation into destruction of evidence in the case. Monterrosa’s sister, Michelle Monterrosa, told the San Francisco Standard last week that she won’t vote for Becerra in the gubernatorial election. “How can we trust someone who continues to put his own advancement before actually standing with the people?” Monterrosa said.

Don't use Appimages (a writeup about all the reasons they are a pain for users)

I’m a Flatpak user myself, but a lot of those arguments against AppImage are outdated or invalid. Here are my counterpoints: Usability issues GearLever solves all the problems mentioned. Updates There are AppImages out there that self-update , but GearLever also solves the update issue. And if you don’t want to use GearLever, there are other updaters like AppImageUpdate. The lack of repositories Appimages don’t even have a central place where you can find them, not to mention download them. This is blatantly wrong - AppImageHub exists for this very reason. There are also GUI frontends like AppImagePool which makes it easy to discover/download/install them. Lack of Sandboxing That is a fair point, however, AppImage never claimed to be a sandboxing solution, and for some use-cases this can even be seen as an advantage (any Flatpak user would’ve at some point run into annoying sandboxing limitations - such as password manager and browser integration, or themeing woes). But there are other sandboxing options out there, such as using containers, and IMO, using a proper container is a better option for sandboxing. Or even better, use a VM if you’re actually running an untrusted app. Random location […] A necessary step would be mounting the entire /home non-executable. This is no problem for system apps, or Flatpaks, but where do you put Appimages now? There would need to be a standard directory to put such files in, which is normally the PATH. But this is also the easiest attack goal for malware, so PATH would be non-executable as well. I completely disagree with making the entirety of /home as non-executable, when $HOME/.local/bin is recommended by the XDG standard as a place to store executables. As long as $HOME/.local/bin is in the XDG spec, I’ll continue storing my executables there. If you disagree, go argue with the XDG guys. Duplicated libraries This is a fair point but “they include all the libraries they need” is the entire point of AppImage - so mentioning this is pointless. If users would really install every Software as Appimages, they would waste insane amounts of storage space. Then it’s a good thing that they don’t right? What’s the point of making hypothetical arguments? Also, this is 2024, storage is cheap and dedicating space for your applications isn’t really a big deal for most folks. And if storage space is really a that much of a concern, then you wouldn’t be using Flatpak either - so this argument is moot and only really valid for a hypothetical / rare use-cases where storage is a premium. And again, in such a use case, that user wouldn’t be using Flatpaks either. Finally, some distros like Bazzite already have the above integrations built-in (GearLever/AppImagePool), so you don’t even need to do anything special to get AppImages integrated nicely in your system, and there’s nothing stopping other distros adding these packages as optional dependencies - but it’s kinda moot at this point I guess since Flatpak has already won the war. Personally, I’m pro-choice. If AppImage doesn’t work for you, then don’t use it, as simple as that. Stop dictating user choice. If AppImage is really as bad as you claim, then it’ll die a natural death and you don’t have to worry about it. What you really need to worry about is Snap, which has the backing of Canonical, and some dev houses new to the Linux ecosystem seem to think packing stuff as Snap is an acceptable solution…

FYI Deepseek makes 3d games all in browser

Trying to test the limits of v4-pro, and one thing I noticed is it’s very good at creating one-shot web apps on the web interface (all free). Downside is it does everything in one file, but you can run it in a sandbox on the web by just clicking the Run button. And, you can then download that v1 and load it in Crush or other interface of your choice to work on it more finely. I assume they trained specifically for these demos because they are very polished, and deepseek takes its time to think through it - longest I got was over 500 seconds for a platformer game that is both a level editor and level player, has base64 shareable codes, is full-screen with overlaid palettes to select blocks and build the level on, can be slightly tweaked for jump height, player health, enemy speed etc. And, the big kicker - it had an integrated sprite editor built-in. It works and I can upload the html, but it’s a bit buggy, I won’t lie. But the point exactly to test and try to break the model, see where it performs and where it falls. But that’s not what I want to talk about today. Today I want to showcase this 3d demo deepseek built, again all in web and all in one shot, using three.js as the 3d engine. It’s just a simple html file that you can download here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/g3dwqrgqq1n6b6m/deepseek_html_20260517_6385a8.html/file, or look through here: https://pastebin.com/1qFKr0Vz It’s just html so it will run in any browser. If you don’t trust the mediafire file (healthy tbh), you can download it from the pastebin. I would post on lemmygrad as text but it’s probably too long to fit in a comment lol. 2000 lines of code. Again, this is one shot. You can read through the conversation here with deepseek: https://chat.deepseek.com/share/q5v3o0csv7zumrq7i3. it’s literally just 2 prompts. Just to get an idea of what these tools are capable of today. And maybe it will inspire you to build something too. Limitations of web approach is it can’t load assets and files - png, mp3, but also just the js library (it had to call it from its CDN). But, this is where you download it and open in your agentic CLI to work further on. It also can’t run anything other than html/web code in its sandbox.

Safest way to run pirated games?

It is mostly a myth (and scare tactic invented by copyright trolls and encouraged by overzealous virus scanners) that pirated games are always riddled with viruses. They certainly can be, if you download them from untrustworthy sources, but if you’re familiar with the actual piracy scene, you have to understand that trust is and always will be a huge part of it, ways to build trust are built into the community, that’s why trust and reputation are valued higher than even the software itself. Those names embedded into the torrent names, the people and the release groups they come from, the sources where they’re distributed, have meaning to the community, and this is why. Nobody’s going to blow 20 years of reputation to try to sneak a virus into their keygen. All the virus scans that say “Virus detected! ALARM! ALARM!” on every keygen you download? If you look at the actual detection information about what it actually detected, and you dig deep enough through their obfuscated scary-severity-risks-wall-of-text, you’ll find that in almost all cases, it’s actually just a generic, non-specific detection of “tools associated with piracy or hacking” or something along those lines. They all have their own ways of spinning it, but in every case it’s literally detecting the fact that it’s a keygen, and saying “that’s scary! you won’t want pirated illegal software on your computer right?! Don’t worry, I, your noble antivirus program will helpfully delete it for you!” It’s not as scary as you think, they just want you to think it is, because it helps drive people back to paying for their software. It’s classic FUD tactics and they’re all part of it. Antivirus companies are part of the same racket, they want you paying for their software too.

Installing Debian 13 (Trixie) with BTRFS

I’m trying to install Debian 13 (Trixie) with BTRFS configured to work with TimeShift. Because installing on a BTRFS filesystem apparently only gives you a @rootfs subvolume which is not only lame, but also incompatible with tools like TimeShift or Snapper. I’ve been trying to set it up on Debian with very little success. I’ve followed some how-tos but keep ending up with a broken GRUB entry, or broken fstab or other bullshit. I’ve tried configuring it during installation with the non-graphical installer, or after installation is complete by creating and renaming subvolumes, moving files, etc. But it’s a such fucking chore. At least Ubuntu automated this and created all the subvolumes correctly. I really want to be using Debian for it’s stability and also because I’ve become very used to the Debian apt package management system through Ubuntu. There seems to be a lot more documentation on Debian than OpenSUSE Tumbleweed also. But this BTRFS thing is a real challenge for me. The layout I’m trying to use is the following: @ - / @home - /home @var - /var @tmp - /tmp @swap - swap “partition”. (That’s how Ubuntu set it up) @snapshots - /.snapshots (For Timeshift and btrfs-grub I think) If you have any advice to give me on how to set this up with the least problems possible, please let me know. I’ve been shopping around for my next Linux distro. I’m moving away from Ubuntu after having used it since it’s creation in 2004. I think I might settle on Debian, but OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is really getting my attention. I’m avoiding anything too bleeding edge because I want to minimize any problems. I don’t have any time to troubleshoot my PC. I just want something stable that works. So distros like Arch are out of the question. Fedora seems to hit the sweet spot, but doesn’t have multimedia codecs out of the box or any easy way to install NVidia drivers out of the box either. Which I find ridiculous to be missing in a distro in 2026. I also hate how RedHat, the parent company, is also a genocide enabler by providing software and services to the Israeli government and their army. (Source1, source2) And they’re also an American company. So fuck 'em. Who knows what bullshit they’re about to add in their repos and how they’re going to manipulate their software packages. There’s OpenSUSE Tumbleweed that seems very nice. Not quite bleeding edge, but on the edge at least. It’s got Snapper that takes snapshots before each update so you can roll-back via the grub menu which is really nice. But I find it has a LOT less community support and documentation than any other popular distros. And if you download an RPM for a 3rd party driver (like the printer for example) chances are there will be unmet dependencies because it was meant for Red Hat. Then there’s Debian. Trusted. Stable. Community-led. A bit late, but 2 years ain’t that bad. It’s about the same with Ubuntu. More documentation. A bigger community. Compatible with Ubuntu for troubleshooting most of the time. But requires LOT more manual work to set it up. Seriously, Debian needs to get up to speed in the user friendliness and usability department.

But on day 2, today, it’s begun to not work at all. I launch Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, and within 2-3 seconds, 2-3 windows popup so fast I cannot read what they are, and they kill the main Adobe process so Adobe Acrobat Pro DC crashes/closes almost immediately too If I hadn’t blocked all detected adobe processes in my firewall, I’d understand, but since I did, I don’"t understand what’s going on. Can someone please help me?

There are no bad programmers, only insufficiently advanced compilers.
