You think the fucking pope is "adhering to atheist values"? What an interesting place the inside of your head must be.

I’m sure they don’t make silly decisions for no reason.

Ah, I see you've never used Firefox or paid attention to any of the decisions that Mozilla's leadership makes.

While calling him "the dude who hacked Rockstar games" is a catchy meme, Arion Kurtaj was sentenced to indefinite detainment in a secure hospital after being found unfit to stand trial after being arrested a third time for violating the terms of his parole and committing further offenses (only one of which was hacking Rockstar Games.) Rockstar is basically entirely incidental to what happened there, and it's disingenuous to pretend it's more important to the outcome than the previous convictions or other acts involved in the trial. He's also since been deemed fit to stand trial and will be tried in November.

If you must make comparisons, it would be better to pick someone like Aaron Swartz instead of laundering the reputation of a convicted fraudster and extortionist.

You are wrong. Omarchy is still listed on https://frame.work/linux as one of the "distributions" that they give free hardware to, and Nirav's statement that they "don’t partner based on individuals’ or organizations’ beliefs, values, or political stances outside of their alignment with us on increasing the adoption of open source software" is still available at https://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-right-racists/75986

You'll also note that Hyprland is on the list of officially sponsored projects, and while I was willing to give that community the benefit of the doubt for a bit, Vaxry was a speaker at Omacon and sponsored by Omacom, proving that I was wrong to do so.

Radicle, the peer-to-peer Git forge designed by cryptocurrency weirdos, made a little whoopsy-doodle and left the encryption out of their transport layer and the authentication out of the authentication handshake: https://radicle.dev/2026/09/23/disclosure-of-vulnerability-in-network-protocol

Shot:

Anyone who can observe the network path between two nodes can read the data they exchange as the data is sent in plain text.

Chaser:

Peer authentication in the connection handshake is broken and allows impersonation. An attacker can connect to your node and present a Node ID that is not its own.

Fuck off, no one asked you for your bad opinions.

I only know about one movie, the 2016 biopic of Jacques-Yves Cousteau, and I'm really looking forward to seeing it on IMAX this Friday. (Weird that it's suddenly in theaters again, I kind of thought it flopped, but see no need to investigate further.)

he would not want professionally shipped code to carry an invisible marker that could raise questions about authorship, compliance, or client policies.

Gee, if only there were some way to create code that doesn't raise questions about authorship. Some sort of skill that people could learn that allowed them to deliver code to their clients that complied with their policies...

Who is this "they" that killed Google Keep? In what way did they do so? The only thing I've found is that the Chrome app was discontinued in 2021 as part of the general push to get rid of Chrome apps, but that has no real effect on anyone's ability to use the service.

Paying to run it on someone else's computer. WPEngine charge $130/month for the level of their Essential plan that's supposed to handle 100,000 visits/month. That's $1560/year, which is near enough to his claim that it's probably what he was on.

I'm very suspect of the arithmetic here. Given the economic climate I'm not at all convinced that an 8% increase in revenue will result in an 18% increase in profit...especially since to get 2025 to only a $150K shortfall it looks like you have to ignore $250K in property taxes, on the assumption that their application to become tax exempt will be granted.

Unfortunately DuckDuckGo sucks ass at search, even compared to how much the Google search results have degraded over time. I use the no-AI version as my primary search engine, but I have to resort to using Google to find the thing I'm looking for about 1 in 5 times.
