@hacks4pancakes I do my best to avoid any conferences in America where possible. And if I do go, I always have my passport with me in case "papers please." Nice place, great people. The best people. Freedom like you've never seen before. (edit: and I'm not even a targeted demo, so I can only imagine the anxiety and fear of someone who is part of a marginalized group) FFS people, have your conferences in a proper country like Canada.
We've moved from "Shared Responsibility" in the Cloud, to "No Responsibility" in the Agentic AI space. You all deserve the fate you're going to get.
I am not sure if everyone who is outraged by the insane rise in RAM pricing understands that this is solely because a billionaire bought 40% of all memory chip production. Not because he needs it, just to oust the competition. And the entire IT sector, and all private PC owners, have been taken prisoners in the process.
Yikes. Apple complying in advance with the technofascists? "Any user who updates to iOS 26 and subsequently restarts their device will inadvertently erase all evidence of older Pegasus and Predator detections that might have been present in their shutdown.log." https://iverify.io/blog/key-iocs-for-pegasus-and-predator-spyware-cleaned-with-ios-26-update

Given that we elected a Groomer as president, can we go back to when it was acceptable to have sprint and backlog grooming sessions?
You don't have to prefix things with "doom" anymore, that's just the default now. You can just say scrolling.

For weeks I have been telling reporters that #Trump could have the power to switch off our tech in #Europe. It felt a bit alarmist until I just read that #Microsoft, on the behest of the #US gov, has suspended the email account of Karim Khan, the #ICC chief prosecutor.

One of the most important international courts and a legal bulwark against #genocide, crimes against humanity, and #warcrimes is threatened by #BigTech dependency.

Trump's sanctions on ICC prosecutor have halted tribunal's work

Nearly three months ago, U.S. President Donald Trump slapped sanctions on the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan. He has lost access to his email and his bank accounts have been frozen. American staffers at The Hague-based court also have been told that if they travel to the U.S. they risk arrest. In addition, some nongovernmental organizations have stopped working with the ICC. Rights groups say these problems will prevent victims of war crimes from getting justice.
