Summer lovin: Here are the best dating apps for lesbians

As a lesbian, you may know all about dating apps . Lesbian Americans (along with bisexual and gay Americans) are far more likely to have ever used dating apps than straight Americans: 51 percent to 28 percent, according to the Pew Research Center. There are a few reasons why LGBTQ people might turn to online dating quicker than hetero folks. For one, you might live in an area without a thriving LGBTQ community, and in-person dating may be hard. If you don't know other lesbians to begin with, how can you meet more IRL to date? (Sometimes, lesbian spaces can also be co-opted by The Straights.) And, unfortunately, in-person dating may also be less safe depending on where you live.  Thankfully, we live in a time where we can find people like us with a few swipes. Lesbians are welcome on major dating apps, and there are also niche ones specifically for lesbians and other queer women and people. But which one to choose?

GOG is giving away a selection of adult games to protest censorship

In partnership with developers, game marketplace GOG (Good Old Games) has launched a new website called FreedomtoBuy.games that'll let you download select "adult" games for free. GOG believes the website takes a stand "against the quiet erasure of creative works from digital shelves," a response of sorts to recent decisions from Steam and Itch to delist certain violent and sexuality-explicit games from their respective platforms. GOG is currently offering 13 games for free for the next 48 hours, some with well-known scandals and others that seem to fall into the "NSFW visual novel" bucket that makes up the majority of sexually-explicit games on digital storefronts. The titles available to download are: Leap of Love Being a DIK — Season 1 Leap of Faith POSTAL 2 House Party HuniePop Lust Theory Agony + Agony Unrated Treasure of Nadia Summer's Gone — Season 1 Fetish Locator Week One Helping the Hotties Sapphi...

OpenAI pulls ChatGPT feature that let user chats appear in Google Search results

Thousands of private ChatGPT conversations have been appearing in Google search results because of the chatbot's "Share" feature, which the company recently removed following a backlash. Fast Company reported this week that ChatGPT users may have inadvertently made their conversations with the AI chatbot public and searchable. The Fast Company report found nearly 4,500 ChatGPT conversations in Google search results, some of them regarding mental health struggles, relationships, and other personal and sensitive topics. Fortunately, the public conversations did not identify the users behind the posts. How did these conversations end up on the web? Until recently, ChatGPT users had the ability to share chats with friends, family, or coworkers by making them public. The function worked similarly to the sharing settings on a Google Doc, and users would be given a public link to the chat they could send to others. An additional option gave users the option to make the po...

T-Mobile now officially owns UScellular

T-Mobile has sealed the deal on its UScellular acquisition . In exchange for $4.3 billion, T-Mobile gets UScellular’s customers, stores and 30 percent of its spectrum. If you’re a UScellular customer, you don’t have to do anything. "UScellular customers stay on their existing plans with no changes for now," the carrier said . You can continue to manage your account through UScellular’s website. You can also still turn to the T-Mobile-owned carrier for customer support. The $4.3 billion wasn’t the only price T-Mobile had to pay. To gain the approval of Trump's FCC, the carrier agreed to gut its DEI programs . That followed Verizon doing the same for its Frontier acquisition. The president has used merger approvals as a cudgel to push his agenda (including getting lawsuits settled ) in the private sector. UScellular will now exist only as an infrastructure company. It can now generate revenue from licensing its remaining spectrum and towers. This article originally a...
