Embrace chaos. Volatility is vitality.

@penguins You can't loose the shootout if you give up the OT

BUCKLE UP🍿 We're headed to OT.

BREAKING: The US Securities and Exchange Commission is preparing a proposal to eliminate the requirement to report earnings quarterly and instead give companies the option to share results twice a year. The proposal is expected to be published as soon as next month.

‼️ China's biggest cybersecurity company, Qihoo 360 (461M users), just leaked their own wildcard SSL private key inside the public installer for their new AI assistant "360 Security Claw." The private key for *.myclaw.360.cn was bundled directly in the download package under /namiclaw/components/OpenClaw/openclaw.7z/credentials. The cert is valid until April 2027. Attackers can now impersonate their servers, intercept user traffic, and forge login pages. Fun fact: the founder promised the product would "never leak passwords."

@LundukeJournal @system76 What about coding robots, leapfrog toys, tonnie box toys, smart refrigerators, WiFi routers, Nintendo switch, thermostats, smart hot water systems, smart home lights, cars, map screens in malls, retail store screen panels, smart kitchen appliances which all use an OS

The CEO of @system76 met with Colorado lawmakers today, in an attempt to convince them to add an “exemption for open source software” to their version of California’s “Age Verification for all Operating Systems” law. “Our concerns were heard and shared. The next step is exchanging and discussing specific language changes to the bill including an exemption for open source software.” Adding, “We hope to make sensible, strong arguments for excluding open source which then becomes a standard for other states. It's going to be difficult.”

You can just do things.

@HardPass4 Well the captain is about to meet a new captain on this route.

You mean to tell me…we could have been doing this the entire time?!?

wtf

@_A_khalifa The UK is the pot calling the kettle black. Fines or arrest for posting offenses, where anyone can say they are offended by anything. Like you saying "Babe". I follow the laws and rules when visiting a country even if I don't fully agree with laws like this.

Because, you know, we’re a proper rule of-law country here. We don’t just let anything threaten people’s safety and security. Sure, maybe in Britain you guys are cool with total chaos and letting everything slide… but in Dubai? Babe, things are different. 😏

@tradertheory 1) What

What it feels like when your profitable trade goes into drawdown

the older i get the more i realise happiness is quiet mornings, a clean space, early nights, a safe home and people who don’t drain my energy.

@AutismCapital No way this doesn't end up on southpark

Literally thought this was South Park at first. It’s real. Why did they make it like that lmao? You expect the mouth to start flapping like South Park. “C’mon guy!” 😂

@Sajwani It certainly feels better not to have that tone, but it's an urgent abnormal message and is supposed to be jarring and disruptive so you don't ignore it or confuse it for other messages

Update on National Early Warning System Sound Alert in the UAE 🇦🇪

Full of lies and inaccuracies. This wasn't an attack on a parade float; it was a valid strike on an enemy military asset in a hot war. Optics strained US-India ties and if the US could help rescue survivors that would be the right thing to do, sure, but facts over lies and feelings. Timeline & Participation Lies: MILAN 2026 exercise in India ended on Feb 25, 2026. The US-Israel ops against Iran started Feb 28—three days later. Both US and Iran FULLY participated in the exercise, including the fleet review and sea phases. No early withdrawals by either side (despite some repositioning of US assets post-event for ops readiness). Claims of US "premeditation" via withdrawal hours before are false, submarine ops are covert and unrelated to exercise schedules. This wasn't a setup during a neutral event; war changed the rules after it concluded. Ship's Status & "Unarmed" Myth: IRIS Dena (Moudge-class frigate) left Indian waters right after Feb 25 after the parade concluded in which Iran and US FULLY participated and was BEFORE the war started, Dena left without staying in India or declaring neutral status/safe haven or declaring destination for neutral waters per international protocols. It was heading back to Iran to join the war that started while it was away, logical for an active warship amid Iran's naval mobilization. Indian officials confirmed it was no longer "India's guest" post-departure, ending any protection. Attack Location & Maritime Law Reality: Sunk Mar 4 in INTERNATIONAL WATERS (high seas, ~40nm off Galle, Sri Lanka), not near India or in any protected zone. Under laws of naval warfare (San Remo Manual, customary int'l law), enemy warships in open waters during active conflict are LEGITIMATE TARGETS. No need for "imminent threat"; it's standard Rules of Engagement. US framed it as degrading Iran's capabilities (self-defense under UN Charter Art 51). This aligns with precedents like 1988 Operation Praying Mantis. Rebuts "violations of maritime norms." It wasn't in an EEZ needing permission. Rescue & "Ethical Lapse" Overreach: Geneva Conventions (Art 18, 2nd Conv) require aiding shipwrecked where feasible, including potential POWs. But fast-attack subs (Virginia/LA-class) aren't built for rescues—limited space, stealth priorities mean they can't surface safely. US didn't assist directly (no breach, as ops risks apply), but Dena's distress call at 0508 brought Sri Lankan Navy: 32 survivors rescued (treated in Galle, to be released—no POW status), 87 bodies recovered, Indian Navy helped search for missing (10-60 est). Critics cry "no rescue," but coordination with allies handled it. Not an "ethical lapse."

@IranIntl_En US sank a vessel in international waters, without provocation and without warning the home country’s ambassador. Also didn’t send immediate rescue support. All blatant war crimes!!

An Iranian sailor who was killed when the warship Dena was struck by the US near Sri Lanka had called his father shortly beforehand, saying American forces had issued two warnings for the crew to abandon the vessel, a source close to the family told Iran International. The Iranian navy warship's commander refused to allow the crew to abandon Dena despite the imminent threat, the source added. The sailor’s father said some crew members argued with the commander, and the 32 crew members who survived were mainly sailors who managed to escape on lifeboats, according to the source. A US submarine torpedoed Dena in the Indian Ocean on Wednesday, about 19 nautical miles from the southern Sri Lankan port of Galle, killing dozens of sailors and significantly expanding Washington’s campaign against Iran’s naval forces. The sinking of the Dena — described by US War Secretary Pete Hegseth as a “quiet death” — marked the first time since World War II that the United States had torpedoed an enemy warship. iranintl.com/en/202603071125

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said Thursday in an unusual televised press conference that the island “is open to talks with the United States” on “any issue” in order to build “a civilized relationship between neighbors” that is “mutually beneficial.”

Everyone needs to know the extent of what the U.S did. An unarmed Iranian ship invited to a joint Indian naval exercise paraded its sailors before the president alongside other participants, including the U.S. At the last minute, the U.S. withdrew from the exercise and torpedoed the Iranian vessel, then reportedly refused to rescue the survivors, leaving the Sri Lankan Navy to recover bodies from the water.

@_GlobeObserver He also likes not being dead

🚨 Reports: Mojtaba Khamenei does not wish to become Iran’s leader, saying he has no interest in political positions and prefers religion and science.

UAE seems to be getting targeted the most, but has done well to defend. Only a couple civilian fatalities and a dozen or so injuries. 100% of missiles, 94% of drones stopped short of their target.

@CryptoALH It got hit. Spoke with friends in the area. So far 100% of missiles and 94% of kamikaze drones have been intercepted.

Again or is BS?

@keyboardphilos @vlelyavin @ns123abc A proper dev team should design for failover or backup like this. If they don't they should hire someone who can. Devops and sys admin 101.

@keyboardphilos @vlelyavin @ns123abc No. Because there are application specific and OS constraints. AWS does not, cannot, and should not be able to see into your application and handle it for you.

🚨 BREAKING: AMAZON AWS DATA CENTER BOMBED IN UAE >iran launched retaliatory missile and drone strikes on uae >strikes hit airports, ports, residential areas >amazon’s main Middle East data center hit >ME-CENTRAL-1 just went fully offline WTF 💀
