Submission + - SPAM: Ask Slashdot: How many of you are using RSS readers?
alternative_right writes: I use RSS to cover all of my news-reading needs because I like a variety of sources spanning several fields in politics, philosophy, science, and heavy metal. However, it seems Google wanted to kill off RSS a few years back and it has fallen out of favor. Some of us are holding on, but how many? And what software do you use (or did you write your own XML parsers)?
Submission + - KDE's 'Other' Distro -- KDE Linux -- Now Avaible to Download in Pre-Alpha (theregister.com)
king*jojo writes: KDE Linux is an all-new desktop Linux distro being developed as a showcase for the KDE desktop project. The project is still in a pre-alpha testing stage, but recently went public on the KDE website. Versions are available to download and try out.
KDE Linux is an entirely new and experimental OS. There's lots of room for confusion here, because KDE already has a demonstration distro, KDE Neon. KDE Linux is a totally separate and far more ambitious project. In terms of its underlying design, it's intended to be a super-stable end-user distro. This is in contrast with Neon, which is an experimental showcase for the latest and greatest code. Neon isn't meant to be anyone's daily driver.

Submission + - Apple's iOS 26 text filters could cost political campaigns millions of dollars (businessinsider.com)
schwit1 writes: Apple's new spam text filtering feature could end up being a multimillion-dollar headache for political campaigns.
iOS 26 includes a new feature that allows users to filter text messages from unrecognized numbers into an "Unknown Senders" folder without sending a notification. Users can then go to that filter and hit "Mark as Known" or delete the message.
In a memo seen by BI and first reported by Punchbowl News, the official campaign committee in charge of electing GOP senators warned that the new feature could lead to a steep drop in revenue.
"That change has profound implications for our ability to fundraise, mobilize voters, and run digital campaigns," reads a July 24 memo from the National Republican Senatorial Committee, or NRSC.
The memo estimated that the new feature could cost the group $25 million in lost revenue and lead to a $500 million loss for GOP campaigns as a whole, based on the estimate that 70% of small-dollar donations come from text messages and that iPhones make up 60% of mobile devices in the US.

alternative_right writes: Several Reddit communities dedicated to sharing news and media from conflicts around the world now require users in the UK to submit a photo ID or selfie in order to prove they are old enough to view “mature” content. The new age verification system is a result of the recently enacted Online Safety Act in the UK, which aims to protect children from certain types of content and hold platforms like Reddit accountable if they don’t.

Submission + - Canada: Let's allow the US to spy on all our citizens and backdoor everything (eff.org)
sandbagger writes: The Canadian government is preparing to give away Canadians’ digital lives—to U.S. police, to the Donald Trump administration, and possibly to foreign spy agencies.
Bill C-2, the so-called Strong Borders Act, is a sprawling surveillance bill with multiple privacy-invasive provisions. But the thrust is clear: it’s a roadmap to aligning Canadian surveillance with U.S. demands.
