In Spain, the housing crisis has a particularly strong impact on religious and ethnic minorities, for whom access to housing is even more difficult. The systemic discrimination they suffer can cause serious damage, says Bianca Carrera.

Weird title, sorry. Let me try and explain.

Goal: Convert simple higher level script into a low level logic gate mess. Basically, I want to build my own custom computers in Factorio with circuit networks. I can easily create any type of logic gate that I want, similar to how computers Minecraft have been built, but with more options.

It would be super nice to code in something similar to Python but have it "compile" into clusters of logic gates. Of course, functionality would be extremely limited, but that is OK and I don't need to boil the ocean.... yet...

(TBH, this sounds really close to what I know about programming FPGAs.)

Sebastian Steck, a software developer based in Germany, has obtained the source code and library installation scripts for his AVM FRITZ!Box 4020 router, thanks to a lawsuit funded by the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC).

Summary

During UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's visit to Kyiv, a Russian drone was shot down near the presidential palace.

Starmer met President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss military support, NATO membership, and security guarantees.

Starmer pledged 1,540 artillery barrels, a new mobile defense system, and increased troop training to aid Ukraine's war efforts.

Zelenskyy criticized slow weapon supplies and acknowledged Western hesitation, particularly from the U.S. and others, on Ukraine’s NATO membership ahead of Trump’s incoming administration.

The upcoming Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake, reportedly developed by Virtuos and powered by Unreal Engine 5, is set to feature significant graphical and gameplay overhauls, making it a full-fledged reimagining rather than a simple remaster.

Summary

Utah has introduced strict guidelines for transgender girls in high school sports, requiring testosterone levels below 66 ng/dl—far stricter than NCAA or Olympic standards—and proof of ongoing gender-affirming care, which was banned in the state in 2023.

Critics argue the rules effectively bar all transgender girls from participating, contradicting the law’s intent to only ban cases of safety or competitive advantage.

Advocates warn the policy harms trans youth by excluding them from the mental health and social benefits of sports.

The Youtube channels I would recommend are the following:

Tech/Science

S3 - The stories of people working to change the world.

Modern Day Eratosthenes - A great STEM communicator who provides a moderate level breakdown of STEM topics. Videos are less than 12 minutes long.

Ziroth - This channel focuses on highlighting new science and engineering projects that are helping the world transition to a zero carbon future!

Speculative Science

Isaac Arthur - This channel focuses on exploring concepts in science with an emphasis on futurism and space exploration, along with a healthy dose of science fiction. While we explore many concepts and technologies that are far beyond us now, we try to keep everything inside the bounds of known science or major theories.

Analytical Tech News/Stories

TechAltar - Analytical videos about tech companies [and their products or services].

Tech Business/Economics/History Video Essays

Asianometry - One of my favorite YT channels. He does a great job producing high quality videos about tech history, tech related economics, and sometimes dives into what that latest tech is and how it might play a part in our future.

Humorous Business Journalism

Good Work - "Edge-cutting" business journalism, with a healthy dose of humor mixed in. Actually covers things that you might want to know more about in the realm of business, trading, and why the American economy is so freaking weird.

The Making of a Movie/TV Show

It Was A Sh*t Show - Making stuff is hard, especially in the entertainment world when there are millions of dollars on the line. And we are going to talk about these disastrous, never ending, and sometimes dangerous productions. With video documentaries and a companion conversational podcast, It Was A Sh*t Show is an entertaining look at some of your favorite films and tv shows, and why they were such a nightmare to make.

Frame Voyager - Mini-documentaries on films without the clickbait negativity.

Mini/Full Documentary Makers

Peter Dibble - Obscure history from the Pacific Northwest and beyond. I recommend checking out America's First Cross-Country Auto Race.

Kirby Ferguson - He's best known for his documentary series called, Everything is a Remix. He made an updated and extended version of it. I recommend it.

Full video - NSFW

There are those in our team who don't know what it means to stop. One of them is our pilot, who, after being injured and losing his arm, continues to do his job and fight for Ukraine.

This is the first video in a series about those who stay in the ranks, despite all the trials. About people who prove every day: it's not the circumstances that matter, but your will to act.

💬 N@zAr doesn't seek recognition or pity. He simply does what he does best.

Even after being injured, he returned to training and is once again performing combat missions.

📽️ Watch the #ІсторіїНебесноїМари video series to see the true face of endurance and indomitability.

1. SuperTuxKart

I really like this game because it's basically just FOSS Mario Kart. It has a lot of gamemodes, an (admittedly simple) kart stat system, many tracks and a lot of mods.

2. OpenTTD

In OpenTTD, you transport cargo and people to different places. You can transport them using trains, buses, aeroplanes (airplanes if your American), boats and trams if you add a NewGRF (a mod). It is very addictive and it is quite easy to get into (except the signals).

3. Pingus

It's FOSS Lemmings with penguins.

4. Extreme Tux Racer

You play as Tux (or someone else) and slide yourself through terrain while you collect fish. It is fun, however I've found that it can get a bit repetitive. You can design levels, however it's a bit hard to do.

5. SuperTux

It's 2D Mario with a penguin. BEST GAME EVER.

Summary

West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey issued executive orders eliminating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in state-run institutions and introducing religious exemptions to school vaccination requirements.

Morrisey claimed DEI initiatives foster “preferential treatment” and referenced the 2023 Supreme Court decision ending affirmative action.

The vaccine exemption policy overturns one of the nation’s strictest vaccination rules, which had historically maintained high rates.

Public health experts warn the change could threaten immunity levels and worsen health outcomes in a state already struggling with poor health metrics.

(I mean, we have crazy shit like a ceo getting shot, coup attempt in south korea, syrian dictator being overthrown, lets make this timeline more chaotic.)
