Oh god. This sounds great.

I truly don’t understand how anyone does the free work for a corporation to moderate a subreddit. Steps like this seem to treat them like employees and they’ll largely just chug along with it for… what? Notoriety?

Okay, we don’t need to be too harsh on the PAC-12 but it’s probably a financial decision.

Will this stand up to the death of Chevron deference? Or are we 3 weeks away from a judge throwing the rule out unless congress passes a specific law.

I think this is squarely in the charter of the FTC but who knows with the courts any longer. We just saw them strike down a ruling by the EPA to enact health measures under the requirements of the Civil Rights Act.

I still want the "Turn off your computer before midnight" sticker someone made but, alas, CrowdStrike DMCA'd the Etsy account.

There's a balance to be struck here but Cloudflare is truly the most miserable entity I have to work with from an abuse perspective. They're not necessarily "ignoring" warrants but most phishing doesn't get reported with a legal takedown request. In those cases, Cloudflare will be almost intentionally obtuse. I'm happy to outline the misery of a host working with Cloudflare but it's not necessarily important to this. TLDR; Cloudflare takes steps that don't make sense for its "we're not responsible" stance while also having zero automation in the year of our lord 2024.

I suppose everything could be a legal request but that just makes the whole process so infinitely worse for NGOs like Spamhaus and only serves to make lawyers excited that their consultation fees are going up. I see that the laziest pathway is "Youtube-like strikes" which is misery as well but they could just shift to investigating accounts receiving a high volume of reports as potential fraud or abuse actors since it is a drag on their services and these accounts are not paying or are paying with stolen credit cards.

Ultimately, I don't disagree with you that much but there's a lot of room for CF to improve their management of fraud & abuse without becoming a trash platform or invalidating legal protections. Happy to get into the weeds on this a bit more since it's a lil' bit close to home. 😅

Oh, it will. And the wheels turn.

People who don’t work in fraud or abuse don’t understand how miserable Cloudflare is to work with. They have a single email box I can send to for identifying if I host a website that takes them days to respond to, no automation by the year of our lord 2024.

It’s a bit more about how miserable it is to work with Cloudflare and their unwillingness to remove abuse in general, opting to say they’re “not the host” and that they cannot tell you where it is but they cannot do anything. It’s hardly an ethical decision to say that phishing and bulletproof hosting aren’t the bedfellows you want.

Unfortunately, yeah. AI industry has proven that it's willing to beg for forgiveness rather than asking for permission.

Just started toying with Jellyfin for my media after Plex started being freaks about everything. I love PlexAmp though so anything that moves the needle on that is excellent. Tried some other players but currently, my setup only works in network and I’ll need to configure SSL somehow.

That is a valid, nuanced take that this article and (seemingly) the legislation don’t get into.

 

Patriots informed WR DeVante Parker that they are releasing him Wednesday and he now has been given permission to talk to other teams, per his agent Jimmy Gould.

 

Celtics Injury Report vs. POR (3/11/24):

J. Brown - Sacroiliac Strain - QUESTIONABLE J. Holiday - Left Knee Tendinopathy - QUESTIONABLE K. Porzingis - Right Hamstring Tightness - OUT J. Tatum - Right Ankle Impingement - QUESTIONABLE D. White - Left Hand Sprain - QUESTIONABLE

 

Source: The #Patriots are re-signing WR Kendrick Bourne to a 3-year, $19.5 million contract.

Bourne’s deal carries a maximum value of $33 million and includes a $4.2 million signing bonus.

 

The New England Patriots are finalizing a deal to trade quarterback Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday.

The Patriots will receive a 2024 sixth-round pick as compensation, sources told Schefter. The trade cannot be processed until the new league year begins Wednesday and Jones passes a physical.

 

Free agent pitcher Lucas Giolito will likely miss the start of the 2024 season after experiencing discomfort in his right elbow, the Red Sox announced Tuesday morning.

Manager Alex Cora expressed the team’s disappointment in losing Giolito, especially as Boston struggles to strengthen their bullpen.

“We’re obviously concerned,” Cora told reporters in Florida. “Not a good day for us.”

According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, initial imaging of Giolito’s elbow likely reveals a partially torn UCL and flexor strain. The injury, which could sideline the pitcher for the entire season, may require surgery.

Brutal news: Initial imaging showed Boston Red Sox starter Lucas Giolito likely has a partially torn UCL and flexor strain and could miss the 2024 season, league sources tell ESPN. Giolito, who signed a two-year deal with Boston, may need surgery to repair the right-elbow damage. — Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) March 5, 2024

Giolito underwent Tommy John surgery as a prospect in 2012, however he has remained relatively healthy through his career.

Giolito, who signed a two-year $38.5 million contract this offseason, has remained relatively healthy during his career in the majors. While he underwent Tommy John surgery in 2012 as a prospect, he’s made at least 29 starts in each of the past six seasons.

 

Despite finishing last in the American League East in 2023 and three times in the past four years, the Boston Red Sox aren't expecting to make any big free-agent splashes to improve their chances of contending next season.

 
 

Just some quick thoughts from Rhamondre Stevenson on his struggles this season as we head into an extension-eligible season.

 

tldr; • Reversal of the foul called on Buddy Hield vs. Jaylen Brown was correct • Officials missed a screen foul on Myles Turner with 2 seconds to play • Foul call on Kristaps Porzingis vs. Bennedict Mathurin was incorrect

 

With the Timberwolves’ loss at Dallas, the Celtics now have the NBA’s best record by 3 full games.

The gap between Boston and Minnesota, is bigger than the gap between the #2 Timberwolves and the #7 Clippers.

 

The first 3 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft are now officially set:

  1. Bears
  2. Commanders
  3. Patriots
