    One more thing to worry about.

    As Russia bans Roblox for spreading “LGBT propaganda” — now along with Snapchat and FaceTime too — it leaves homophobes with yet another thing to avoid, just in case.

    Three years later, the Centerpiece starts shipping.

    Not vaporware after all, huh? Finalmouse’s keyboard, which features a full display underneath its transparent keycaps and switches, was announced in December 2022, and due “early 2023.” Now, three years on, the company says it’s shipping the first units to backers.

    The OSA’s first big fine.

    UK regulator Ofcom announced it’s fined a porn provider £1 million (around $1.3 million) under the Online Safety Act because while it has age verification measures, they aren’t “highly effective.” That’s just a little more bite than the £20,000 ($27,000) fine it handed 4Chan earlier in the year.

    Why else would you call?

    One of Google’s new Android updates is the beta for Call Reason, which allows callers to flag that it’s urgent. Sounds smart, but if you’re below the age of 40, “urgent” might be the only type of call you ever make.

    mekalos:

    Sorry but if literally anyone I know is calling me instead of texting, it’s already urgent.

    San Francisco is suing 10 processed food giants.

    The city’s lawsuit, against the likes of Coca-Cola, Nestle, and Kraft, accuses them of selling foods that they knew to be “dangerous for human consumption,” saddling both cities and citizens with “enormous costs” thanks to ensuing health issues.
