We honor the courage of community members who are looking out for one another and demanding dignity and safety for all. We reject all forms of violence, and recommit to nonviolent organizing. ICE and CBP must leave our communities. Every person involved must be held fully accountable under the law, without special treatment and without excuses.
We call for the immediate arrest of the ICE officers who carried out this deadly shooting, and for full accountability for all federal officials and agency leadership who authorized and oversaw this operation. We know federal officials will not lift a finger to ensure accountability — it is up to state and local officials to stand up for justice, the rule of law, and the safety of our communities.
We strongly condemn the deadly shooting of a Minneapolis resident by a federal immigration enforcement officer during an ICE and CBP operation. Our hearts are with the victim and their loved ones, and with the Twin Cities community that is once again being terrorized by federal immigration raids.
If reports are accurate, an ICE officer murdered a woman by shooting her in the face multiple times. They did this during an immigration crackdown ordered and escalated by the Trump regime.
This is a horrifying and unacceptable outcome of a secret police force that has made our communities less safe. ICE and CBP brutality is not an aberration. It is the predictable result of an authoritarian regime that has empowered federal agents to occupy neighborhoods, target immigrant communities, and operate with impunity.

kicking back, relaxing, and firing up True Stories (1986) to take my mind off current events,
All our users were told within the last hour that they/their application consumes too much resources at openrailwaymap.org. This is wrong for almost all of you. ❤️
This message should have appeared on a couple of Hungarian live tracking sites only. Due to a mistake, it appeared everywhere.
📢 v1.113 is rolling out now! This release focuses on fixing bugs and improving the stability of the app. We also fixed an issue some of you reported about the app locking up while watching fullscreen videos. With that done, we have some bigger things planned to kick 2026 off right — more soon!
Don't, uh
Don't use this. Don't let your family or friends use it. If you see it in your neighborhood, bang pots and pans, whistle, and scare it off.

"Agentic e-commerce"
I think I need to barf
Three thoughts about Apple pushing "ChatGPT Health":
• This is why I consider the OS duopoly to be bad, why "just use macOS" is not a sufficient response to Microsoft's rapid descent into slopware.
• When OpenAI implodes, and it will implode in a terrifying way, creditors are gonna come looking for assets. That now includes health data. That's scary as fuck.
• OpenAI is founded on eugenics. Even before they implode, don't give eugenicists your health data.

3. Scroll down to section on “Information”
4. Look for and click blue link for “Report a Problem”.
5. Follow prompts pictured in quoted post.
We unit test code's correctness—so why not unit test performance as well?
Having thought about the problem a little, here's my suggestion for a first step: testing big-O scalability.
As I was working my upcoming #FOSDEM talk "The Linux Phone App Ecosystem" (https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/VH3GYN-linux-phone-app-ecosystem-2026/) I thought: Maybe I should ask my followers.. So here we are:
What do you want to know?
Which projects do I have to mention?
What should I focus on?
Which apps do you enjoy the most?
What are you missing?
What are you worried about?

Okay so the one thing I do need my laptop for is my research - and I use proton drive. I can use the browser to access, but it would be nice if they had an app for linux

I won't do the food analogy I did on stream again, but I'm used to not being catered to, as a vegan, so this feels right at home

Mayor Jacob Frey for President?
“WAGMI” — we're all gonna make it — was crypto's 2021 rallying cry. But those with wealth and power knew it was a lie, and that “all” just meant them. My latest traces the last five years from hype to technoligarchy — and why they're not all gonna make it either.

(opencode i mean, well it's true for both but i assume you were asking about that more specifically. i'm a fan of what doll is doing just don't have enough time in the day to try all the things yet, it's on my list though)
"Naturally flavored with other natural flavors" are words I just read on food packaging and I feel like there's a wink at the end of that.
Practical Collision Attack Against Long Key IDs in PGP
In response to the GPG.Fail attacks, a Hacker News user made this claim about the 64-bit "Long Key IDs" used by OpenPGP and GnuPG, while responding to an answer I gave to someone else's question: OK, to be clear, I am specifically contending that a key fingerprint does not include collisions. My proof is empirical, that no one has come up with an attack on 64 bit PGP key fingerprints.
