People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans "Pervert Glasses" On Bluesky, users quickly embraced the term "pervert glasses" to refer to Meta's Ray Ban smart glasses, following a shocking investigation.

No, an AI-focused "Windows 12" is not coming this year — here's the plan A new report has caught the internet's attention, claiming that Windows 12 is coming this year and will be a modular, AI-powered OS. Here's why that's wrong.

a graph from Highguard game director Chad Greiner that shows PS5 was the biggest playerbase for the game by at least 100%, following by Xbox, then Steam.

This is from Highguard's game director and more proof that we ~really~ need to stop reporting on Steam's numbers as if they are always the commanding metric. In this case, the Steam playercount was the lowest (ironic, given how many reports and takes and posts were made about its Steam concurrents)

I remember buying this when some new comic shop opened in the area. Still one of my favorite Spider-Man covers.

How the heck was LibreWolf (a Mozilla Firefox web browser fork), using ten GBs of RAM with just two browser tabs open? 😂

I really like the visuals of Bungie's Marathon video game. It's a shame about the PvP though.

You know what’s better than free two-day shipping?

Knowing you’re the reason your local bookstore still exists.

And it has been my experience that if you create an alternative that is open, 99.9% of people won't care and will happily use that proprietary conversation system run by a VC-backed company seeking profit, and nothing else.

🚨 Google wants to force every Android developer to register with them, even if you never touch the Play Store. We signed the open letter opposing this alongside EFF, Proton, F-Droid, Tor Project, and 30+ others. Android's openness is non-negotiable.

Love it. I just re-watched Macross II recently. Underrated, IMO.

We're fundraising for public libraries again! 📚This week, when you donate $15 USD or more to your public library, friends of a library organization, or the @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social, you'll receive a free audiobook credit 💓

Just FYI, at least four new Discord alternatives have either just launched or are in closed beta testing. Be careful. Most of them are vibe coded with AI and are being brought up quickly to take advantage.

FWIW, the two best Discord alternatives that I've tested are Root and Fluxer.

Berkeley Breathed started Bloom County up again on Patreon last month. Easily worth the $3 or whatever it is per month. It's nice getting a new Bloom County comic strip in my e-mail every morning.

Persona age verification under fire after researchers expose alleged biometrics surveillance setup Persona, used by Roblox, Discord, and Reddit for age checks, is under fire after researchers exposed what they call a sweeping identity surveillance setup.

Cybersecurity researchers allege that Persona (largely funded by Peter Thiel), is secretly storing people's biometrics and government photo IDs for three years and feeding them to both the United States federal government and Canada. - piunikaweb.com/2026/02/19/p...

Good: The City of Heroes sub-Reddit moderators finally banned all AI/LLM "art."

Bad: Someone seems to have unleashed an AI agent on the sub-Reddit in response. - www.reddit.com/user/Al_Veng...

Hey all!

Just want to chime in here that we are alive and working hard to constantly improve the product. We’ve seen a big influx of users recently and are so excited to have our community grow!

Thank for all your patience as we look to clarify and answer everyone’s questions. :)

So far I know of at least two City of Heroes Discord servers that have successfully migrated to Root, including my SG.

In preparation of deleting my Discord account, I went to remove my telephone number from the account. As soon as I did so, Discord locked me out of my account "for suspicious activity," and the only way to correct it... was to add my telephone number back to my account. 😆

This is all too true. My family regularly chides me for paying for news. "Paying for news is foolish. You can watch Fox News and read the New York Post for free!"

They never quite understand *why* they're free, no matter how hard I try to explain.

My 404 Media subscription is worth it.
