Vaguely recall how Biden admin emails to Twitter were the biggest attack on free speech ever. There was a whole twitter files thing about that. Curious where are Elon, Taibbi, Bari and crew on this?

New story up on the Homeland Security Department’s new tactic: flood social media companies with subpoenas to unmask anonymous accounts that criticize ICE or monitor the movements of ICE agents. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/technology/dhs-anti-ice-social-media.html

This whole "OpenClaw" thing has made me very angry and I wrote a bit about the why. It's not that "it's AI": It is the way that kind of project invalidates decades of work and care in free software. "AI" software isn't just careless, it is actively rejecting responsibility and care.

tante.cc/2026/02/14/diffusion-

Diffusion of Responsibility

One of the features of “AI” is the diffusion of responsibility: “AI” systems are being put in all kinds of processes and when they fuck up (and they always fuck up) it was just the “AI”, or “someone should have checked things”. “AI” companies want to sell machines to solve every issue but give no […]

I had some fun pulling OpenAI's mission statement out of their IRS tax filings from 2016 to 2024, loading them into a git repo with fake commit dates and then taking a look at the diffs simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/13/

The evolution of OpenAI’s mission statement

As a USA 501(c)(3) the OpenAI non-profit has to file a tax return each year with the IRS. One of the required fields on that tax return is to “Briefly …

"The SAVE Act is a massive attack on voting rights from a party that doesn’t want every American to be able to vote. The Capitol switchboard phone number, where you can ask to be connected to your senators’ offices, is (202) 224-3121."

The SAVE Act Solves a Nonexistent Problem

The House just passed legislation requiring proof of citizenship to vote, even though documented noncitizen voting is virtually nonexistent.

Summary of the "Save America Act" voter suppression bill.

In only 21 US states do more than 50% of the population own a passport.

Sen. Susan Collins of Maine has announced she will back the bill, giving Republicans 51 votes in the Senate. Expect a pressure campaign to end the filibuster.

Edited to add: "The U.S. State Department has ordered certain public libraries nationwide to cease processing passport applications..."

Via @jennycohn.bsky.social

Beware the Trump-backed so-called “Save America Act” (HR 7296), which: 1. Requires that states establish voter purge programs using systems that experts call unreliable, such as the DHS’s “SAVE” system (as updated by “DOGE”) & the SSA’s #verification system. 2. Subjects election officials to citizen suits & potential prison time for a single erroneous registration (even if the voter is a citizen), but not for erroneous voter purges. 3. Requires that anyone registering to vote or changing their registration (or re-registering after a faulty voter purge) prove their citizenship in person with approved documentation, such as a U.S. passport (an expensive option that many voters lack). 4. Omits Real IDs from the list of approved registration documentation, unless: a. The Real ID “indicates the applicant is a [U.8.] citizen”, a requirement that excludes most Real IDs because only 5 states issue Real IDS that indicate citizenship, or b. The Real ID is presented with a certified birth certificate that matches the Real ID, which won't work for up to 6gM women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates. 5. Omits marriage certificates from the list of approved registration documents, effectively disenfranchising the women in 4b, above, unless they can afford passports. 6. Won't let you cast a ballot without Voter ID documents that again prove you are a U.S. citizen.

We raised a $200M Series C, now we're putting it to work.

New compute sleds with the latest AMD EPYC CPUs are coming. We're working with Xsight Labs on next-gen switch silicon to eventually replace Tofino 2 and provide an open instruction set archiecture (ISA), a major leap forward for enterprise networking.

The Register has the details: theregister.com/2026/02/13/wha

@Em0nM4stodonEm :official_verified: Thanks for the reminder. I was an early Twitter user and enjoyed it for a while socially, and fondly remember TweetUps where people would meet at coffee shops and network. Then transitioned to using it mostly for work related content like infosec news. Then after Elon ruined it, I left for Mastodon. Haven't used it in a couple years. Now it's worse than no reason to keep it. There are reasons, plural, to delete it.

그저 웃지요;; $38B를 이민자 수용소에 쓸것이라고 했지만 당연히 반발이 나옴; 미국은 돈이 부족한것이 아님 돈을 쓰지 말아야할곳에 낭비하는 것임; 미국은 이민법과 행정체계만 잘 정리해도 충분할것 같은데요...

There's a lot of energy on the right now to discuss/find a alternative to using .

@strypey suggested that I put this out there to anyone who's thinking about it. We could probably rebuild most of Discord's features as an inbox without doing a lot of back end code.

I'm too swamped to start on this right now. But if you're a great HTML+CSS designer, I'm able to give some time to a team who wants to take this on.
