Just a brief reminder that the Lawmakers of the United States have still not complied with the law that they themselves enacted nearly six months ago.

Honestly convinced now that hyperscalers are deliberately trying to end the personal computing era by denying everyone else access to the tools required.

You will have no choice about avoiding "AI" once your older devices stop working and you can't afford parts and your OS upgrade has mandatory AI features. They are leaving us no ground to go to by infecting every level and flavor of computing and ensuring that alternatives without them are unsustainable.

Inspired by Hank Green’s fun new timeline of photos from the Artemis II mission, I wrote up an answer to a question that's more pertinent these days than it may seem: Why are the Artemis II photos on Flickr? https://anildash.com/2026/04/30/artemis-photos-flickr/

@signalapp is now the best time for you guys to offer cloud backup? More to the point,the notice that I got said "end-to-end encrypted" backup, which implies that Signal has an encryption key and access to raw backup data. I hope you meant "fully encrypted" such that Signal servers never have an unencrypted portion or the ability to decrypt backups.

Remember,we all worry you might someday be required to give up data to a government and it's safer if you can't than just to accept that you won't.

Nothing gives Israel a special right to invade neighbors, bulldoze their homes, and create a DMZ.

US voters must make anyone supporting the Israeli state unelectable until support for this bullshit stops.

RED FUCKING ALERT

The United States is dropping land mines around villages in Iran. Images posted to social media Thursday show what experts said are U.S. land mines dispersed across a residential area in southern Iran, in what appears to be the first instance in more than two decades of American forces using the weapons.

The photos show American BLU-91/B anti-tank land mines, which are released from an aircraft as part of the Gator mine scattering system, according to four munitions experts who reviewed the imagery at The Washington Post’s request. The United States is the only party in the Iran war known to possess the system.

LAND MINES ARE A WAR CRIME! What in the actual fuck are we doing here? This is a violation of law, of sense, and of humanity. Den Hague for everyone involved.

Wild that America has a president who regularly goes “I’ll start World War 3” to tank the stock market and then at the last minute says “j/k I’m not invading Greenland/Iran/Canada/etc” then the market jumps back up with mysterious people making a killing after he backs down.

An amazing coincidence.
