Very happy to see some adults in the room at S&P Dow Jones Indices. No special "fast entry" rules for mega IPOs. They must go through a seasoning period for market price discovery. This is contrary to Nasdaq and Russell changing their rules to favor SpaceX, et al. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Finnish President Alexander Stubb says the EU should expand to 40 states, taking in Canada, Ukraine, Britain, Norway and Turkey. As a counterweight to Trump.

Just renewed my @lwndotnet.bsky.social subscription for another year. Support independent journalism! Support open source. Thanks for all the great reporting over the years. #linux #opensource lwn.net

The Eternal Sloptember > Agents cannot program, and it’s taking longer and longer to realize that they can’t. They are a highly sophisticated statistical model designed to mimic the distribution of programming. Sober classification I happen to agree with. geohot.github.io//blog/jekyll...

Just heard about this anonymous German band called Kanonenfieber. They are amazing blackened death metal with a World War I theme. #metal #music www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTge...

The concept of ascetic computing resonates with me. There is joy in doing simple things on computers and avoiding trendy fads. ratfactor.com/ascetic-comp...

so what i am learning from github.com/axios/axios/... is that you should simply never join a Microsoft Teams call for any reason --- because of security

“Asymmetric” = fighting back isn’t fair

Ok this is actually hilarious.

The latest version of Sway + xdg-desktop-portal-wlr can share individual windows! #Sway #Linux #Wayland github.com/swaywm/sway/... I'm looking forward to the upcoming release of Sway 1.12.

The only difference is sheep.

I appreciated the this recent article about zram and zswap. It reminded me that I had enabled zram on some of my systems at some point, and gave a very simple suggestion saying most people probably shouldn't use it, with tons of background info if you want it. #linux chrisdown.name/2026/03/24/z...

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

I wrote a #Python script to generate bingo cards for game drives in #Kenya. This helps engage and inform people (mostly kids) when they would otherwise be bored on safari. The unicorn acts as a joker/wildcard. :P Attaching a few samples for Maasai Mara. Code is here: git.mjanja.ch/alanorth/saf...

Bellingcat has geolocated eight videos showing US Tomahawks cruise missiles in Iraq heading towards Iran. On Tuesday Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani spoke with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and stressed that Iraqi airspace and territory should not be used.

NO WAR WITH IRAN!

Absolutely damning from @aaronschaffer.com, @willoremus.com, & @nitasha.bsky.social. To get more data, Anthropic: * "destructively scanned" millions of books * downloaded the shadow library LibGen * hailed another shadow library's arrival as "just in time!!!" www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

On Apple M3, a Linux KDE plasma desktop under Fedora Asahi Remix is now WORKING! Super excited to share this update and happy to answer any questions! Co-credits to noopwafel and Shiz. :)

Wow, I just stumbled on Netherwalker's latest album. This is hauntingly beautiful. I love the combination of symphonic sound with technical deathcore. Close your eyes and give this an honest listen. #music www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHI3...

I'm excited to finally see an alpha release of @kagi.com's Orion browser for Linux. Looking forward to seeing that get developed more. Kagi search is very good and their engineering culture reminds me of early Google. Highly recommended. help.kagi.com/orion/misc/l...

How search should work.

Lorna Shore's latest album has that same incredible orchestral production again. Goosebumps... www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVa_...

Impressed with nginx's support for ACME protocol (Let's Encrypt) for enabling frictionless TLS in web servers. Very easy to use—almost as seamless as Caddy's! #devops #linux blog.nginx.org/blog/native-...

This #Android translation application is 100% local—no cloud AI services. Works very well and runs on the CPU! It is powered by language models that Mozilla trained and works for a surprising number of languages. #opensource github.com/davidventura...

@irishrainforest.bsky.social I saw this story about wolves in Yellowstone and thought of you. Elk had been eating all the Aspen saplings! www.livescience.com/animals/land...

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

A group called 'Saraya Ansar al-Sunna' has claimed responsibility for Mar Elias Church bombing in Damascus. My new post is a translation of the statement & has exclusive information on the group's origins & relation to Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham & Islamic State www.aymennaltamimi.com/p/saraya-ans...

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

Internet in Iran has been down for 36 hours now. Only a few people can connect through multi-hop VPN.

Today Kenyan civil society organisations have called upon the Kenyan government and the UN security council to take action following our reporting with the Daily Nation. We found Kenyan-labelled ammunition crates in a suspected Rapid Support Forces depot in Sudan. pressrelease.co.ke/news/375

Seems there is a massive phishing campaign targeting users of Interactive Brokers the past few weeks. I'm not a customer so it's easy to tell the mails are fake!

Regime change via bombing appears to be the Israeli strategy. What could go wrong? www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics
