The unsealed charges against Durov are insane. If sustained, I don't see how tech founders could possibly travel to France, much less hire in France. This is economic suicide and is rapidly and permanently changing the perception of founders and investors.

Mark being dragged by Harris fans for this, but it's a valid point. The issue isn't so much there being a joint interview as it's her FIRST since becoming nominee and it's a joint interview. And she's also NOT had a solo presser since becoming the Dem standard bearer.

That Harris feels incapable of surviving a basic solo interview after nearly four years at the pinnacle of power in the White House―even with a channel that deeply favors her party―is a problem. A Vice President shouldn't need "Training Wheels" Walz ready to jump on her grenade.

Looking forward to this. With governments of every flag competing to control what you can read, write―and think―we need to remember our Jefferson, and "bind them down from mischief with the chains of cryptography."

From Genocide Joe to Genocide Joy

This is the elected Vice Governor of the Brazilian state Minas Gerais Professor Mateus — just for a sense of how things are in Brazil right now:🇧🇷

Another elected official in Brazil -- a Congressman -- telling Moraes to go fuck himself, proclaiming that he's using a VPN to access and post on X, and that he will continue to do so. Congratulations to Brazilians engaging in collective civil disobedience for their freedom:🇧🇷

The world owes him an apology

LLMs are best understood as that one know-it-all friend: eager to help and with inexhaustible patience, but more likely to bullshit you than admit "I don't know" once you pass beyond the limit of their learning. Very useful if approached with skepticism; dangerous if with faith.

The tides of Brasil's VPNs are about to teach King Canute a very important lesson.

By the end of his tenure, this man was bombing SEVEN countries simultaneously.

The widespread devastation and massacres of the Israeli army in #Jenin and other parts of occupied northern West Bank, where Hamas is not ruling, are a powerful reminder that Hamas is just the last excuse for the State of #Israel to wreak the Palestinian territory havoc.

Behold, dear reader, what the New York Times describes as "the politics of joy."

In the Era of Mass surveillance the last free living people will be the ones who know how to use cryptography. Julian Assange in 2012.

Ist das, was er mit Zeitenwende meinte?
