Roman Mosaic Unearthed — Southwark, London, UK <3 What Time Reveals (9 Photos): https://streetartutopia.com/2026/03/28/from-buried-mosaics-to-trees-shaping-themselves-around-bricks/

Two archaeologists gently uncover a large Roman mosaic beneath a construction site near The Shard in central London. The vibrant geometric patterns, preserved underground for nearly 2,000 years, reveal a glimpse into an ancient dining room once part of a Roman mansio (guesthouse).

“The Pentagon is pushing four leading AI labs to let the military use their tools for "all lawful purposes," … Anthropic insists that two areas remain off limits: the mass surveillance of Americans and fully autonomous weaponry.“

‘ELITE’: The #Palantir App #ICE Uses to Find Neighborhoods to Raid
Palantir is working on a tool for ICE that populates a map with potential #deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a “confidence score” on the person’s current address. ICE is using it to find locations where lots of people it might detain could be. Tool receives peoples’ addresses from Department of Health and Human Services (#HHS) among other sources

‘ELITE’: The Palantir App ICE Uses to Find Neighborhoods to Raid

Internal ICE material and testimony from an official obtained by 404 Media provides the clearest link yet between the technological infrastructure Palantir is building for ICE and the agency’s activities on the ground.

At Vivaldi we continue to make choices that are different from our competitors. We have chosen to not integrate AI or crypto, but instead we integrate a wealth of other features, based on the wishes of our users.

We are a European company with most of the team based in Norway and Iceland, a few around Europe and a couple in the US.

Our servers are based in Iceland.

If you want to get away from Big Tech, maybe give us a try? If you are already using Vivaldi, maybe introduce your friends?

Have a nice day!

There are some weird people on LinkedIn. We're supposed to believe that we're the weirdos and they're the normo's, but I guarantee you're stuck on a desert island with Fedi's and it's fuckn paradise on earth, albeit extremely kooky. But stuck on a desert island with those LinkedIn monsters..... you'd better sleep with one eye open. Immediate devolution into incoherent cannibalistic chaos. Every person for themselves trying to climb to the top of the growing mountain of skulls. Language no longer exists - just tattered suit-wearing animals gutterally shrieking I HOPE YOU'RE WELL! KIND REGARDS! Over on Fedi Island, a couple of neighbours have disagreed on whether coffee or tea is supreme, but they've realised it's subjective and decided to respect each others perspectives and have got together to throw a little party to celebrate both coffee and tea enjoyers (although there is still one berk sat in the corner grumbling that if you like tea it means you hate women). The Linux people have invented an unnecessarily complicated method for catching wildlife, but it keeps them happy and busy. Just pulleys and weights and springs going boing, but it mostly works. The wildlife of course not for food, but to assist in identifying edible plants and mushrooms and verdant areas for growing crops. However what's that our lookout can see?! A boat. Coming from LinkedIn island. The alarm is sounded but we are not prepared.....

The way things are going:

We have a problem with fake news. So let's make a technology that makes it super easy to create convincing fake news. As a bonus this technology violates copyright and uses tonnes of money and energy. If you point out a flaw the answer is: that's because we did not put enough money and energy into it yet.

Stay classy Meta.

For the 10th birthday of Signal, I did a Big Interview with its president Meredith Whittaker.

We ended up talking about how her focus for Signal goes beyond encryption or privacy, to creating an alternative to surveillance capitalism—or even capitalism, period.

Signal Is More Than Encrypted Messaging. Under Meredith Whittaker, It’s Out to Prove Surveillance Capitalism Wrong

On its 10th anniversary, Signal’s president wants to remind you that the world’s most secure communications platform is a nonprofit. It’s free. It doesn’t track you or serve you ads. It pays its engineers very well. And it’s a go-to app for hundreds of millions of people.
