Anil DashYesterday, I got an incredible opportunity to watch Cindy Cohn bring @eff's story to one of its biggest audiences yet, as she did an extraordinary job on the Daily Show, pulling off the unlikely task of making the topic of digital privacy and civil liberties seem fun, engaging and witty. I took the chance to share some reflections — and a couple of behind-the-scenes photos. https://www.anildash.com/2026/03/31/defending-privacy-daily/

David HoI don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't received any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since grants are typically for 3 years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.
In my 25-year career, I’ve never NOT had funding. I typically have 4 to 8 grants, which you need if you’re running an observation science program and have a technician, students, and postdocs.
GeofCoxI often joke that Brittany is the most left-wing region in France - and has the highest number of cafés and bars per capita... but perhaps the two aspects are more closely linked than I thought.
This article - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/mar/27/progressive-paris-far-right-french-capital-food-culture-community-extremists - links the increasing number of car-free and non-commercial social spaces in Paris with its continuing extraordinary left voting record - and suggests that the well documented disappearance of such spaces in the US and elsewhere may be a factor in the rise of the extreme right.
Progressive Paris has many weapons to fight the far right, but the best? Spaces where you can simply hang out
Drop into any of the French capital’s ‘third places’ and you’ll find food, culture, community – and an antidote to the disaffection extremists feed on, says Paris-based writer Alexander Hurst

Felicitas Pojtinger 🌅In some more fun #puregotk #GNOME news - I managed to get Meson to work on macOS. You can even write a GObject library in Go now, compile it to a dylib and typelib, and then another puregotk-based app (or GJS, Python etc.) can load the custom widget and display it with no issues!
Even cooler - you can cross-compile this for macOS from Linux, no CGo/macOS C compiler required :)
