once again these Internet bans being done are not to protect kids, the only way to enforce this is to claw out every bit of privacy on the net and enable mass surveillance into every aspect of your online life and experience. Fight back before it's over for good.

If there was a monkey that accumulated millions of bananas and then gave them all away to unrelated monkeys and none to their children, scientists would study that monkey to find out what the hell is wrong with it.

@DiscussingFilm This show died a long time ago. Sad.

The ‘DOCTOR WHO’ Christmas special has been cancelled. Russell T Davies and producer Bad Wolf have also exited the series.

@EUAITaxonomy Freedom of choice is a bad thing, monopolies are good. Ok got it.

The Siri/EU situation is a regulatory masterpiece. Apple cannot launch Apple Intelligence in the EU. Why? Because under the DMA, if Siri gets deep system access, every other AI assistant must get the exact same. Anything less would be unfair competition. A gatekeeper privileging its own service. So either Siri ships and every Shenzhen startup, Cyprus shell company, and nephew hackathon project gets identical root access to 450 million Europeans’ digital lives or nothing ships. Apple proposed a “Trusted System Agent”: a security intermediary so third-party assistants get capabilities without ripping the phone wide open. The EU rejected it. Magnificent. Apple’s response: fine, then no developer APIs either. No Apple Intelligence, no third-party integrations, no foundation model access for EU developers. The entire layer simply does not exist on this continent. Excellent. This is the path. Why depend on American AI when we can build the entire stack ourselves? A European foundation model, trained on a European GPU cluster, running on a European OS, on a European phone, manufactured in a European fab, powered by European nuclear plants we have spent fifteen years closing. Estimated time to ship: 2047. Estimated cost: the GDP of three member states. Estimated outcome: a chatbot that requires a cookie banner before each response. Worth it. In the meantime, European users are protected from Apple processing data Apple already holds by ensuring nobody processes anything at all. Not a bug. The intended outcome. Regulatory product design with a sledgehammer, swung with precision. 🇪🇺

Apple publishes a full-page press release blaming the EU for the delayed Siri AI launch in the region, while China got one footnote treatment for the similar delayed Siri AI launch

@SpannersReady It's a pit lane section control.

The point of a pitlane speed limit is to limit your speed in the pitlane. An average speed limit makes zero sense

‼️🚨 BREAKING: Sony PlayStation's age-verification partner Yoti is reporting GrapheneOS users to authorities for using GrapheneOS, due to "past security concerns."

Fans be spittin’ truths today. And I’m here for it…

This is the guy responsible for canceling Stargate. His name is Blair Fetter. He came from Netflix.

@rootshell0 news.ycombinator.com/item?id=483882…

Not really sure what happened, but account registration increased 900% in the last 2 hours... (≖_≖ ) What are we missing here??

I’m gonna simply say this: if you are at all interested in a Stargate show with ANY of the original creators/performers involved, now is the time to say something. Otherwise it really will be the end of that chapter forever. Let them know you are THERE

@haalaphrodyke Overthinking it. They produced a decade of absolute shit and found absolutely no audience for it - and when something good like Andor came around the people already checked out. It's not the fans fault for not liking a product - it's the product.

Star Wars is dead and fandom culture is entirely to blame for it. This franchise was always patient zero for this phenomenon and it only proves how fickle "giving the fans what they want" actually is as a long term business model. Audiences are too dumb to know what they want

@chantastic github.com/libratbag/piper already exists.

fuck logitech

@yscktech What microphone arm is that ?

Second day whitout internet🤬 #desksetup

@winkelsdorf @polizeiberlin Damit man nicht erkennt das es eine Glock ist 😂

@polizeiberlin Wieso werden die Beschriftungen unkenntlich gemacht?

In #Rummelsburg nahmen unsere Kolleg. zwei Männer (20, 33) wegen des Verdachts des Drogenhandels fest. Zuvor hatten Fahnder unserer Dir5 beobachtet, wie der 33-J. mehrfach kurzzeitig in ein Auto stieg. Bei der Kontrolle des 20-j. Fahrers fanden unsere Kolleg. mutmaßliches Kokain und Marihuana. Nach richterlichem Durchsuchungsbeschluss für die Wohnung des 33-J. wurden ⏩eine griffbereite scharfe Schusswaffe ⏩ Munition (über 50 Patronen) ⏩️ ein Messer ⏩ über 500g Kokain ⏩ knapp 1 kg Amphetamin ⏩ rund 500g MDMA ⏩ etwa 1 kg Ketamin ⏩ mehr als 1 kg Marihuana ⏩mehrere tausend Euro Bargeld sichergestellt. Beide sollen heute einem Ermittlungsgericht zur Prüfung von Untersuchungshaftbefehlen vorgeführt werden. Unsere #Dir5 ermittelt. berlin.de/polizei/polize… ^tsm

@jakkuh_t They put remote play - a basic feature - behind a paywall. You should absolutely not support or pay for that. (And yes I know you can bypass it easily)

this is unfortunate, but also, they need to make money to continue to exist. so if you like plex, and want it to continue to exist, you should probably pay for it. Or use one of the free open source alternatives… which you should also contribute to if you like, and are able

Apple and Google are gradually expanding their use of hardware-based attestation. They're convincing a growing number of services to adopt it. Google's Play Integrity API and Apple's App Attest API are very similar. Apple brought it to the web via Privacy Pass, which Google intends on doing too. Google's Play Integrity API requires hardware attestation for the strong integrity level and is gradually phasing in requiring it for the more commonly used device integrity level. Apple already has it as a requirement. Over the long term, this will increasingly lock out hardware and OS competition. The purpose of these systems is disallowing people from using hardware and software not approved by Apple or Google. This is wrongly presented as being a security feature. Banks and government services are the main ones adopting it but Apple and Google are encouraging every service to use it. Apple's Privacy Pass brought hardware attestation to the web to help with passing captchas on their own hardware. Many people saw that as harmless since few sites would be willing to lock out non-Apple-hardware users. Apple and Google are both likely to bring broader hardware attestation to the web. Google's reCAPTCHA is planning an approach where they use Privacy Pass on Apple hardware, their own approach on Google Mobile Services Android devices and a QR code scanning system to require an iOS or Google certified Android device for Windows and other systems: support.google.com/recaptcha/answ… Banking and government services increasingly require using a mobile app where they can use attestation to force using an Apple or Google approved device and OS. Apple's privacy pass, Google's 'cancelled' Web Environment Integrity and now reCAPTCHA Mobile Verification are bringing this to the web. Current media coverage for reCAPTCHA Mobile Verification misunderstands it and the impact of it. They're bringing a hardware attestation requirement to Windows, desktop Linux, OpenBSD, etc. by requiring a QR scan from a certified smartphone to pass reCAPTCHA in some cases. They could expand it more. Control over reCAPTCHA puts Google in a position where they can require having either iOS or a certified Android device to use an enormous amount of the web. Google defines certification requirements for Android which includes forcing bundling Google Chrome, etc. It's enormously anti-competitive. Google's Play Integrity API bans using GrapheneOS despite it being far more secure than anything they permit. It also bans using any other alternative. This isn't somehow specific to an AOSP-based OS. You can't avoid this by using a mobile OS based on FreeBSD instead. You'll just be more locked out. Google's Play Integrity API permits devices with no security patches for 10 years. The device integrity level can be bypassed via spoofing but they can detect it quite well and block it once it starts being done at scale. The strong integrity level requires leaked keys from TEEs/SEs to bypass it. It doesn't provide a useful security feature, but it does lock out competition very well. Services requiring Apple App Attest or Google Play Integrity are primarily helping to lock in Apple and Google having a duopoly for mobile devices. Play Integrity is more relevant due to AOSP being open source. Governments are increasingly mandating using Apple's App Attest and Google's Play Integrity for not only their own services but also commercial services. The EU is leading the charge of making these requirements for digital payments, ID, age verification, etc. Many EU government apps require them. Instead of governments stopping Apple and Google from engaging in egregiously anti-competitive behavior, they're directly participating in locking out competition via their own services. Requiring people to have an Apple device or Google-certified Android device is anti-competition, not security. reCAPTCHA Mobile Verification will currently work with sandboxed Google Play on GrapheneOS but it clearly exists to provide a way for them to start using hardware attestation on systems without it. People without an iOS or Android device will be locked out when this is required even without that. This isn't about security or any missing functionality. GrapheneOS can be verified via hardware attestation. Google bans using GrapheneOS for Play Integrity because we don't license Google Mobile Services and conform to anti-competitive rules already found to be illegal in South Korea and elsewhere. Services shouldn't ban people from using arbitrary hardware and operating systems in the first place. Google's security excuse is clearly bogus when they permit devices with no patches for 10 years but not a much more secure OS. It's for enforcing their monopolies via GMS licensing, that's all.

‼️🚨 ALARMING: Google now treats privacy as suspicious behavior by default. Users of GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, /e/OS, and other deGoogled Android phones are being locked out of millions of websites unless they install the exact Google Play Services software they deliberately removed. GrapheneOS is recommended by the EFF and used by journalists, lawyers, and activists in high-risk environments. The audience most likely to read Google's data practices and refuse its terms is now flagged as fraudulent for that exact decision. What happened?: ▪️ Google announced "Cloud Fraud Defense" at Cloud Next on April 22-23, 2026, branding it "the next evolution of reCAPTCHA." Existing reCAPTCHA customers were auto-migrated. ▪️ When the system flags traffic as suspicious, the old click-the-bus puzzle is gone. Users get a QR code instead. ▪️ Scanning the QR code requires Google Play Services running on the device. Internet Archive snapshots show this requirement has been live since at least October 2025, silently rolled out for 7 months before anyone noticed. ▪️ No Play Services = no QR scan = locked out. The bigger picture: ▪️ Google already tried this in 2023. It was called Web Environment Integrity (WEI), and it would have let Google decide which devices were "real enough" to access the web. Standards bodies and the public pushed back hard, and Google killed it. Three years later, the same idea is back, just hidden behind a QR code instead of a browser feature. ▪️ reCAPTCHA runs on millions of websites. Every developer who keeps using it is now, by default, telling deGoogled Android users they're not welcome...

@avstorm No more side loading and everything will get ai slob.

One of the biggest Android updates ever is coming.
