Randahl FinkEvery democracy on earth should be secular.
The U.S. under Trump clearly is not, and as a consequence, we now have a war between two religious adversaries who both believe they are chosen by God.
This is not helpful.

Erik JonkerI watched the whole Trump press conference today... it was long and boring, but also confirmation Trump has mental problems, is not well, narcistic and evil.
Compliments to the New York Times for asking a critical question during the Trump press conference about bombing powerplants and bridges in Iran.

evacideThe tl;dr here is that something that most people in Silicon Valley already know: Sam Altman lies a lot. Just constantly. About big and little things. And every effort to hold him accountable has failed. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2026/04/13/sam-altman-may-control-our-future-can-he-be-trusted
izzy | Technically Good ✨I've updated the "Alternatives Pt. I - Messaging, Browsing, and Email" post with one more browser and secure chat app that readers have recommended:
HT to @adonm for the @delta suggestion, and a TG reader who emailed in to recommend the @mullvadnet browser.
If you haven't yet, give it a read - especially if you're on the lookout for a new (more secure, more private) email app, chat app, or browser. It can be done! You have the power! ✊🏼

GrapheneOS@yax @sgtpepere GrapheneOS is a highly usable OS with far broader app compatibility than /e/. GrapheneOS is intended for everyone and is not a niche project only for a tiny subset of people. Gaël Duval repeatedly claims having serious privacy and security protecting users from privacy and security exploits is for pedophiles, criminals and spies. These are the statements of an authoritarian who is against people having privacy against surveillance. /e/is a trojan horse and is harming privacy.
Kuketz-Blog 🛡Das deutsche EUDI-Wallet (Sprind) setzt auf Google Play Integrity und Apple App Attest zur Geräteverifizierung – beides proprietäre Attestierungsdienste der jeweiligen Plattformhersteller.
Nach heutigem Dokumentationsstand ist für Android ein Aktivierungspfad vorgesehen, der Google Play Integrity voraussetzt. Ein degoogletes Android ohne Google-Play-Komponenten fällt damit voraussichtlich raus. Was das in der Praxis bedeutet: Kein Custom-ROM, kein entsperrter Bootloader, kein degoogeltes Android.
Der digitale EU-Ausweis – ein staatliches Identitätsmittel – hängt damit strukturell von Google und Apple ab. Ob das im Sinne digitaler Souveränität ist, darf jeder selbst beurteilen.

Steve HermanFrench President Macron offers blunt advice publicly to US President Trump: “You have to be serious. When you want to be serious, you don't say the opposite every day of what you said the day before. And perhaps you shouldn't talk every day.” https://www.france24.com/en/macron-says-unrealistic-open-hormuz-strait-force-urges-trump-be-serious
Macron says 'unrealistic' to open Hormuz Strait by force, urges Trump to 'be serious'
French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday said it would be unrealistic to launch a military operation to force open the Strait of Hormuz after US President Donald Trump challenged allies to work towards reopening it. In unusually strong criticism, Macron accused Trump of constantly contradicting himself on the Iran war and of undermining faith in the NATO military alliance.
