GrapheneOS
TechAltarEvery pro-renewables politician should be working at 100% capacity to flip the "the greens are making your life more expensive" narrative into "the fossil fuel lobbyists are making your life more expensive" right now, but I fear our side is too nice to effectively exploit a situation like this

Volla, Murena and iodé have come together to form the Unified Attestation initiative which will permit using their products while disallowing using alternatives not participating in it. This is fundamentally an anti-competitive system. These companies are consistently not honest about what they provide with users and are playing the same game with Unified Attestation pretending that it's an open system bringing people freedom when in reality it's designed to crush competition and openness.
European governments would be able to block certifying GrapheneOS because we won't implement age verification, invasive client side AI scanning and other systems they're trying to impose on devices and operating systems. They can make it into a requirement to integrate these for certification. Volla, Murena and iodé are not privacy/security hardened operating systems. They do not try to protect users against authoritarian surveillance including via exploits. They do not share our goals/values.

I’m currently navigating a high-friction physical integration challenge with our document reproduction hardware. It’s a painful reminder of the importance of workplace safety and operational alignment. Grateful for the support of the HR and maintenance teams as we work toward a swift resolution.
Delta ChatFun funding fact: If we had 10 times more money to develop #deltachat , the #chatmail relay network and the #webxdc secure mini app ecosystem, we would still have ten times less than what signal has (let alone Whatsapp or telegram). But we don't want to increase nudging people for donations, as we have many users who don't even have a legal way to send us money, let alone the means. It is a special kind of reward that delta works where most if not all other messengers fail to work for users.
Prof. Sam LawlerAny journalists want to write an article about all the environmental costs of the more than 10,000 Starlinks that are now in orbit? All I'm seeing are breathless articles mindlessly worshiping That Awful Billionaire for crossing the 10,000 satellite mark.
Every single one of those will come down in an uncontrolled reentry. That's a lot of metal in the atmosphere, and a lot of dice-rolling to see if any more pieces will make it to the ground.
SpaceX is truly awful.

Electronic Frontier FoundationWhat’s at stake in the fight against age verification is not just a single bill in a single state. It’s about whether “protecting children” becomes a legal pretext for embedding government control online that reinforces specific moral and religious worldviews. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/rep-finke-was-right-age-gating-isnt-about-kids-its-about-control
Rep. Finke Was Right: Age-Gating Isn’t About Kids, It’s About Control
What’s at stake is whether “protecting children” becomes a legal pretext for embedding government control over the internet to enforce specific moral and religious judgments—judgments that deny marginalized people access to speech, community, history, and truth—into law.
