Ich hätte ja wirklich nicht damit gerechnet, dass sich so viele Leute bei Union und SPD bereits vor dem Release der EUDI Wallet zusammentun um eine Ausweispflicht (irgendwo zwischen Hinterlegung des Ausweises für Sicherheitsbehörden und Klarnamenspflicht) zu fordern und sich demnächst vermutlich auf die schlimmste Option zu einigen.

"firmware" is one of those words I just accepted at face value for ages, like that's just what it's called. no need to think too hard about it. until I saw someone pointing out that it's harder than software and softer than hardware and I was like.... oh

AI가 당신을 지루하게 만든다

Obscure candidate hack: self-fund your campaign with $3.3 million and become the “top fundraiser” in your race, then just cut yourself a check for $1.67 million back

It’s hard to find much about the guy but he describes himself as a former member of the intelligence community, wheat farmer, and restaurant worker who went to Trump University and “built a successful real estate portfolio using the tools provide [sic] by the Trump Organization”. He’s pledged to “get rid of the D.I.R.T.: Drugs, Illegals, Regulations, Taxes”.

FEC forms showing $3.3M in contributions from candidate Adam Perez Arquette to Adam Perez Arquette for CongressFEC forms showing disbursements to Adam Perez Arquette ($3,000 for “advertising”, $900 for “meals”, $1.65M for “in kind”). Total disbursements for the period $1,667,032. Not all itemized receipts are in this screenshot but they all go to Arquette.

Well put: “To conclude this wrapup of my experience in 2025: more than ever, I still regard the open web as my online home. There are communities I feel like I belong to within it — like the 'open social' community, the Mastodon community, the Eleventy community, etc. Maybe there will eventually be a Cybercultural community!

"ADD ANTI-CHEATING MECHANIC. Player 3 attempted to rig the dice roll and end game early. Give cheaters hives? Turn them into an ugly wolf-person with stupid-looking tail? Fungal rashes? Dysentery? Needs to be both humiliating and jungle-themed."

Gentoo moves too!

In recent days, weeks, months, the fallout hasn't even begun - Microsoft is still weathering the blast itself. Even in the last couple of days viral videos are racking up millions of views covering what many people are hailing as the demise of Microsoft itself - to be certain, no one is shedding any tears.

The first two defectors? HP and Samsung (PCs and Androids). Samsung removed preinstalled Microsoft apps from their devices and now other Android manufacturers are following suit.

When you go to purchase an HP laptop now it comes with Linux by default (or you can, upon request, pay more for a Microsoft operating system). Following suit were Dell (same thing, Linux by default or your can request Windows 11 and pay more money for it), then Lenovo, ASUS, and Acer - pretty much everyone that matters has abandoned Microsoft.

Even the retailers are bugging out - Best Buy, Walmart, and even Amazon are jumping ship, and I don't even need to explain why, but again, you can pay more to be subjected to invasive privacy mining. CoPilot and Recall may be the straws that broke the behemoth's back.

And the shockwaves of ever larger concentric circles have found their way to Gentoo, the latest prominent project to begin the migration to CodeBerg according to Linux Journal.

Adherence to the values of privacy and open source are cited, and Codeberg champions those values, themselves having moved to a hosted git software project that values those principles - Forgejo.

There's a huge paradigmatic shift occurring with respect to how people view their privacy, and especially their identities and intellectual property. They've had enough of the dismissive subjugation and are realizing they can do much better, faster, with more privacy, and without tracking or malware pre-installed in their systems, for much less money.

It will be interesting to see how the Redmond Dreadnought manages to maneuver this time; have they even the use of their rudder to persuade all of the major manufacturers of Android devices, desktop and laptop PCs to come back from the pasture into the slaughterhouse?
