Can you imagine what the #Fediverse would look like now if the response to Gab had been "Admins don't need to block these instances, individual users can just choose whether or not to apply a user-level block (mute) themselves"?

Net Neutrality is restored:
"In a 3β2 vote, the FCC voted to restore Net Neutrality protections & reclassify high-speed-internet access services as telecom services subject to Title II of the Communications Act.

Apple is cutting Vision Pro production as it fails to meet sales targets.
Analysts expected it to sell 700-800k units in 2024, but it could now be as low as 400k. A lower cost model could now be pushed beyond 2025, if it ever arrives.
