VILE: Exhumed is an unjust casualty in Steam's sweeping censorship campaign

Over the past few weeks, thousands of video games have been banned, removed and delisted from Steam and Itch.io. The justifications for doing so have been almost comically vague, and at least one highly anticipated title is now unable to be sold despite containing nothing objectionable.

NVIDIA is ending support for its GTX 10-, 9- and 7-series GPUs

NVIDIA is calling time on its Maxwell, Pascal and Volta GPUs, with one last significant driver release scheduled for October. This means that all graphics cards belonging to the GeForce GTX 7-, 9- and 10-series categories will only receive quarterly security updates beyond the October cutoff, with support ending entirely three years later in 2028.

Trump’s FTC is spreading lies about trans people. This bill would let it wipe them off the internet

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) was created in 1914 to protect consumers from corporate overreach. Under Donald Trump, the 110-year-old bipartisan agency is now being converted into a weapon of censorship and repression for the administration to wield against its political enemies.

Last week, the FTC hosted a “workshop” with the unambiguous goal of spreading disinformation about one of the administration’s favorite targets: trans people. The event, which was titled The Dangers o
