This is absolutely about liberty; it opens the door to similar abuses as the DCMA in the US, which has had a chilling impact on free speech.

Someone who says "You are not allowed to copy my work" is not denying your right to freedom of speech.
He is denying that you have a right to steal his work.
Don't believe all the propaganda spewed out by google, and the like.
Taking someone's work without permission and making money out of it is theft.

First, there is a long tradition and law that allows for fair use. If, for example, you are doing a movie review, you will have to use material which is copyrighted or trademarked, if it's nothing more than the title of the work. The law does make exceptions for this, but other provisions have a similar problem as the DCMA in the US.

"Fair use" does not mean "copy loads of stuff from other people, and add no content of your own".
Something only falls under fair use if you use it to emphasise, or as an integral part of, your own original content.
Without your own original content, it is not fair use; it is theft.
Google, and the others who steal material, add nothing.
They just make money out of it.
Like I said: don't fall for the "freedom of speech" bullsh1t that they're using to try to continue to steal money from content creators.

In the immediate aftermath of the lander’s crash it as unclear exactly what went wrong. It was in the way?

It's because they based their efforts on the wrong movies, and used the wrong cameras.
If they'd used Spielberg's black-and-white ones, they'd have seen the moon better.

In a study of healthy volunteers, researchers found that our brains may solidify the memories of new skills we just practiced a few seconds earlier by taking a short rest. The results highlight the critically important role rest may play in learning. Who knew, "sleep on it" was actually good advice?
I thought someone just thought it up for no reason...

That's from science daily?
What day did they get this?
3rd September 1863?
It's not exactly what I'd call "breaking news", given that papers on it were published at least a hundred years ago.

I've seen no difference in Windows, but my Android phone is definitely slower after several updates the last two months.

It's probably because of the new, built-in bitcoin miner.
Actually, I say that as a joke, but it honestly wouldn't surprise me if it were true.

Have they been carried away by all of the Spectre mitigation stuff and its relatives?

Imagine we’ve been handed a task and we’re free to choose the programming language. Don't be a {foo} programmer, be a good programmer

What nonsense. If you don't use a language, you haven't learned it. This obsession with knowing lots of computer languages seems to be a form of a hoarding disorder.

0. Ignore it, and hope it will go away.
1. Get grumpy about it, and refuse to do anything at all.
2. Randomly close things, freeze windows, and switch between programs, in the hope of confusing the naughties.
3. Stick your fingers in your ears.

It's built in. It's a feature.

Now that you mention it, it's sorta multifunctional.
They must use object-oriented processes.

Tens of thousands of touch controllers shipped with labels like 'Big Brother Is Watching,' and 'The Masons Were Here.' "A gaffe is when a politician tells the truth – some obvious truth he isn't supposed to say."
Yes, "accidentally".

A classic game helps to solve a big problem with AI as the technology makes more decisions about our lives. Did it ask for an explanation why they picked Frogger?

And I have to say that I relish few things less than a blow-by-blow of why the "player" went left-forward-right-etc.
Maybe it's not the epitome of drudgery and boredom, but it must be in the top ten.
