Oregon and Washington are finalizing a deal to join the Big Ten Conference, which would expand to 18 members in 2024, sources told ESPN.

The departures put Oregon and Washington's former conference, the century-old Pac-12, in flux. Arizona has applied to and been admitted to the Big 12, ESPN sources said, although that deal has yet to be finalized. And conversations between the Big 12 and Utah and Arizona State ramped up Friday, sources said.

 

Trending weather conditions may allow for rapid growth on the Bedrock Fire, which was last reported on August 3 at 5% contained and a total size of 12,213 acres, according to fire management officials.

Well of course they do. They want to turn an every-few-years OS purchase into a monthly subscription fee, like they did with O365. And eventually they'll drop the ability to install apps except through their store (under the guise of providing "safety" from malicious apps), so that they can collect a commission on the third party software sales market as well.

I am hopeful that the lack of "karma" feedback to posters in Lemmy/Kbin will dampen the farming that goes on over at Reddit, and that posts are about contributing ideas or whatever content is expected in order to be a part of the community, rather than trying to get "upvotes." Granted, that's a huge driver of activity on Reddit and helped them grow to the size it is, but it's also why there's so much low-effort content there these days.
