Welcome to 2026. Your average morning headlines:
- That TV show you love is cancelled
- That celebrity you like is, unfortunately, a transphobe
- Record storm and/or heatwave somewhere in the world
- Computers are worse & more costly than even one day before
- Cat photos tho
@vampiress
Computers are only worse if you run software that's worse. 🐧
@argv_minus_one @vampiress If you can change the computer's software. if it was not banned by Starmer, Carney, Cali Dems or Friedrich Merz.
@canleaf
Merz changed his mind recently and said he's against a social media ban. https://netzpolitik.org/2026/katholikentag-merz-sagt-nein-zu-social-media-verbot/ Not sure how he feels about operating systems, but I'm taking that as a good sign.
Cali Dems are amending their law to exempt open source operating systems. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB1856 This bill still has serious issues, though…
Starmer's gone, so his opinion is irrelevant.
Carney, I worry about.
@vampiress
Merz sagt „Nein“ zu Social-Media-Verbot
Vor laufender Kamera wird der Bundeskanzler auf dem Katholikentag gefragt: „Verbot, Social Media, sind Sie dafür?“ Und Friedrich Merz sagt: „Nein.“ Was heißt das für die Debatte?
