<...> at one point the author says he uses Sabnzbd to download from Bandcamp.
He does? I can't find that reference.
Can't say if he's actually pirating or as he says ripping payed content but it's well established fact that buying a single DVD will earn artist more than a lifetime of streaming.
I feel like she got taken in by Nancy Pelosi's bullshit and while her positions are mostly pro-worker she lacks insticts to counter the establishment bullshit and tries to moderate herself because of that. Losing strategy, but oh well.

For years, I relied on Spotify like millions of others. The convenience was undeniable stream anything, anywhere, discover new music through algorithms, and share playlists with friends. But over time, several issues became impossible to ignore: artists getting paid fractions of pennies per stream, fake Artists and ghost Tracks, AI music and impersonation, creepy age verification complicity and the fact that despite paying monthly, I never actually owned anything. So I decided to take back control of my music experience. Here's how I built my own self-hosted music streaming setup that gives me everything Spotify offered and more.

A new report finds that America's biggest healthcare companies collectively dodged $34 billion worth of taxes since Trump's 2017 tax cuts went into effect. They used that money to pay their shareholders and executives while patient care quality declined.

Mice turning tiny steering wheels to move shapes on a screen have helped scientists produce the first brain-wide map of decision-making at single-cell resolution in a mammal. In two Nature papers published Sept. 3, an international team of 22 groups, co-led by three Princeton University neuroscience labs, charted the activity of more than 600,000 neurons as mice performed a decision-making task. The resulting dataset offers an unprecedented view of how distributed neural networks work together across the brain to guide behavior.

<...> morals mean nothing to thieves.
Morals they don't care about, but reputation is what their whole business is built around. It's very rare that hacker groups release the content if their demands are met. At the same time, you might become a juicy target for other groups if you pay and are stupid enough to not secure your systems and educate your staff moving forward.
There is one linked in the article called "Rhagobot operation 1".
Yes they did.

They never reached beta. "Currently in alpha."
Ever since F-Droid introduced reproducible builds, there isn't really a reason for Accrescent existance anymore. And there is Obtainium for everything else.
I don't agree that it's mild. They explicitly will require credit cards as per the law, debit cards won't work for it, which is a huge deal.
Not entirely. The actual anti-cheat software that have access to the kernel with Secure Boot can be modified either intentionally by the developer or unintentionally by a hack. It's unnecessary attack vector among many other non-security related issues.
Secure Boot is not the rootkit, the anti-cheat software that requires kernel level access (Secure Boot) to operate is the rootkit.
How thoughtful of them to "apologize" yet keep requiring you to voluntary install a rootkit to your machine to play a video game. Some people are just Too Dumb to Live.
All marketing is lying by design, this one from Xiaomi is at least funny. Nobody cares about Apple and Samsung hurt feelings.
It's a very simple legal case. Either the contract forbids this by explicitly requiring 30 days subscription model or not. We just have no idea which party is right as we don't have access to the contract.
I guess they will just use the publicity to settle the case and both came out as the winners.
You sound like LLM before LLMs were a thing. Confidently wrong.

Not true. First two were fired for that, these two were fired for "other reasons". They were never inside the office.
