Summary

Donald Trump’s national security adviser Mike Waltz and his team created over 20 Signal group chats to coordinate policy on regions like Ukraine, Gaza, and China, Politico reports.

Sources reported seeing “sensitive information” discussed in these chats.

The revelation follows a leaked chat where Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared operational strike details in Yemen, which experts say would normally be classified.

Critics warn using Signal risks violating record-keeping laws. Despite scrutiny, the White House defended the practice, and Trump continues to support Waltz after a closed internal investigation.

The Trump administration has begun the process of reclassifying workers at some agencies to a new job category with fewer protections, according to two sources familiar with the situation and an email seen by Reuters.

If I had a dollar for every time the Nvidia driver screwed me over I still couldn't order anything with it because my graphics driver wouldn't load.

Elon Musk was roundly mocked on social media after attempting to spin his defeat in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race into a win for voters' rights.

That was already the law in Wisconsin, and Question 1 just protected it in the state's Constitution. However, Musk had long focused on the state's Supreme Court race and talked little about Question 1. He often posted on social media about the dangers or electing a liberal judge and poured $25 million into the state to support the conservative candidate.
However, Musk's pick lost to the liberal candidate.

That led to Musk's post on X downplaying the loss - and the round of mocking that followed.

The DOGE leader had also traveled to Wisconsin two days before the race to personally hand voters $1 million checks after giving a speech in which he wore a cheesehead hat.

“The long con of the left is corruption of the judiciary,” the Tesla billionaire posted on X on Tuesday night.

Wednesday’s win by Democratic candidate Susan Crawford, over Brad Schimel, cemented a liberal majority for the next three years. In her acceptance speech, Crawford made reference to Musk and his campaign.

“I never could have imagined that I would be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin... and we won,” she said.

Crawford’s win keeps the court under a 4-3 liberal majority in the face of crucial litigation surrounding abortion access, voting rights and redistricting.

Does anyone remember what the toy I'm going to describe is called or if there are any photos of one?

Its a thick wire that has a handle at the bottom and a little ball at the top. The wire/rod allows a monkey or other toy character to slide down from the top of the rod to the handle. The character has some sort of arm or tail composed of a small spring (like the ones in a click top pen) and the spring usually has a weight at the end like a plastic hand or a ball. To operate the toy, you move the monkey up to the top and then give the spring a little wack. The monkey then boings it's way as is claiming down from the rod. It makes a spring boinging noise.

Just wondering if anyone remembers those things.

Hey everyone. I am new to the "Fediverse" and I am confused about how Lemmy connects with PixelFed.

As I understand it, you should be able to interact with all the Fediverse platforms from just one platform, but I can't seem to figure out how to see stuff from Mastodon or Pixelfed here on Lemmy.

Similarly, I don't quite understand how to see stuff from Lemmy on Pixelfed. I created a Pixelfed account and tried searching for my Lemmy account over there and managed to find it, but I don't know how to log in to it or make changes to it.

Could someone explain this to me? I am very confused!

In an international operation spanning 38 countries, German investigators said on Wednesday that they had dismantled "KidFlix", a major online platform for the distribution of child sex abuse images with 1.8 million users worldwide.
