@vollaficationist The EU has been passing laws working towards banning end-to-end encryption and secure devices. It's completely unacceptable to have an EU-based system controlling which hardware and software is allowed to be used. GrapheneOS is not going to participate in bringing about our own downfall through helping to build or legitimize a system which could be used by EU governments to ban GrapheneOS. Play Integrity API should be banned rather than giving it legitimacy making another one.
Ketan JoshiSpoke to the Guardian about the idea of quitting LLMs for climate:
-âI see this all as very much part of the tactic of trying to embed these systems into society and instil dependency in a fashion similar to the growth of single-use plastics in the 1970s.â

Louder for people at the back:
If âAIâ gives you a 20% productivity increase, in an economic system that rewards growth at the expense of everything else, the rational thing for any company to do is use that productivity increase to expand into new markets. This may involve some redundancies because you need different skills for the new opportunities but they will be matched by increased hiring in the other areas. If you and your competitors both see a 20% increase in productivity and you use it to make people redundant and they use it to ship more products in more areas, then they will grow at your expense. Their products will be better than yours and you will lose market share.
If you are claiming that you have redundancies because âAIâ is increasing productivity, then one of the following is true:
- Your leadership team does not understand market economics (in which case, investors should worry that the board has not replaced obviously incompetent leadership).
- You are an unchallengeable monopoly and have already filled all adjacent markets and have literally no possibility of growth (in which case, investors should take note and set their price predictions based on todayâs revenue, with no expectation of future growth, which would wipe out over 80% of Metaâs market cap).
- You are lying about productivity gains (in which case, investors should worry about what else youâre lying about and should start prodding the SEC to investigate).

Rep. Finke Was Right: Age-Gating Isnât About Kids, Itâs About Control
Whatâs at stake is whether âprotecting childrenâ becomes a legal pretext for embedding government control over the internet to enforce specific moral and religious judgmentsâjudgments that deny marginalized people access to speech, community, history, and truthâinto law.

Bluefin CLI for Mac and Windows | Bluefin
We like to say "The command line is our passion. Therefore we invest in the command line experience, knowing that most people will never see it." Sounds grandiose! Bluefin CLI is a a terminal experience designed around shipping a new "default terminal experience" with modern tools. But it also has things like the just task runner, making the community shared aliases and shortcuts easy. And that just lets the good stuff float to the top.
daniel:// stenberg://CVE-2026-3784 beat a new #curl record. This flaw existed in curl source code for 24.97 years before it was discovered.
Illustrated in the slightly hard-to-read graph below. The average age of a curl vulnerability when reported is eight years.
