@fightFight for the Future is leading a week of action opposing online id checks -- details here https://www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/stop-online-id-checks-week-of-action/
Elizabeth Nolan Brown has an article in Reason leading up to tomorrow's hearing
"Can you judge the heat of a moral panic by the number of bills purporting to solve it? At the height of human trafficking hysteria in the 2010s, every week seemed to bring some new measure meant to help the government tackle the problem (or at least get good press for the bill's sponsor). Now lawmakers have moved on from sex trafficking to social media—from Craigslist and Backpage to Instagram, TikTok, and Roblox. So here we are, with a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee hearing on 19 different kids-and-tech bills scheduled for this week."

A U.S. senator is justifying war crimes: the military acting as judge, jury, and executioner for non-capital offenses. A reminder that there is evidence innocent passengers were onboard these vessels.
Alright I've been warned that following people while having zero posts is a red flag so I gotta start with something cool

HP-UX is an odd one on many levels, but also when it comes to games: not even Doom exists as a prepackaged, ready-to-go game. You'll need to construct it yourself with vague, outdated instructions.
Forget about Quake I/II/III. They *supposedly* exist, but fuck if anyone knows where.

@TuuktuukTuukka R Because personal information about children must be considered extremely sensitive and protected at the highest standard.
And the only way to do this is with solid and well-implemented end-to-end encryption.
@Em0nM4stodonEm 
@TuuktuukTuukka R And platform owner knowing that a user is a child endangers them by risking exposing that information to attackers and to insider threats. The only solution is to treat personal information on all users as if they might be children, and not possess or have capability to access anything beyond what's absolutely needed.

Just so you know, we need to push back against privacy-invasive regulations.
Each and every time.
Shrugging and using a VPN will not save you. They will come for the VPNs next.
Then the ISPs.
Then more.
Pushing against unjust laws matters.
The tools alone will not save you in the long run.

Congress is moving toward a nationwide age-verification mandate, but instead of verifying age on every website or app, lawmakers want to make app stores do it.

Cool Ranch may be young, but he has discovered the optimal approach for the gloomy days of winter.
Public servants are meant to be transparent. Private citizens are meant to be… private. Flip that, and you don’t have a democracy anymore — you have surveillance.

The Trouble with Ancient DNA: Telling Stories of the Past with Genomic Science by Anna Källén, 2025
A thoughtful consideration of the storytelling and science behind ancient DNA discoveries.
In The Trouble with Ancient DNA, Anna Källén explores how the parameters of genetic science influence the stories we tell about our ancient ancestors, questioning what narratives we can and should take at face value.
If they truly cared about the children,
they would be much more concerned about AI everywhere than end-to-end encryption everywhere.
Encryption actually protects the children.
AI harms them, and us.

I wonder what the biggest "complexity letdown" has been in science, where something with a ton of complex theories turns out to be an extremely simple phenomenon. Like e.g. scientists studying attention are like "its a complex multisystem phenomenon that needs to carefully balance..." And it turns out like "no attention is based on attention juice, which is synthesized by the attention juicer, and when you run out of it you can't pay attention anymore"

There are many possible programmer mistakes that are not caught by the minimal checks specified by the C language; among those is passing an array of the wrong size to a function. [...]

Back in the early days of GitHub, git over ssh was terminated by a hacked OpenSSH which looked up public keys for the git user in MySQL rather than from an authorized_keys file. That OpenSSH was the system sshd on the same frontend web servers which ran the Rails app, so if you were staff you could get a shell on a random frontend by typing `ssh github.com` and you were straight in
