The Israel Defense Forces confirmed killing Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in a surprise joint strike by hundreds of fighter jets targeting his emergency leadership compound. The IDF said Khamenei was directly responsible for suppressing Iranian citizens, funding proxy forces across the Middle East, and working toward Israel's destruction. IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Kamal Penhasi issued a formal statement confirming the kill. #Iran

Putin conveyed condolences to Iranian President Pezeshkian over the killing of Supreme Leader Khamenei, calling it a cynical murder violating all norms of human morality and international law, TASS reported. Putin said Khamenei would be remembered in Russia as an outstanding statesman who made an enormous contribution to relations between the two countries. #Iran

Israel has killed nine senior Iranian officials overnight in what the IDF called unprecedented strikes against the Islamic Republic. Those killed include Supreme Leader Khamenei, armed forces chief Mousavi, Defense Minister Nasirzadeh, IRGC commander Pakpour, Defense Council secretary Shamkhani, SIND head Jabal Amilian, Khamenei's military office chief Shirazi, GHQ intelligence chief Asadi, and former SIND director general Mozaffari Nia. #Iran

Automated license plate readers are "a massive, warrantless digital dragnet that track everyone everywhere they go, regardless of whether they're suspected of any crime… painting an intimate portrait of a driver's life,” EFF’s @tsnvaa told @reason. ​​https://reason.com/2026/02/18/was-it-a-coincidental-traffic-stop-or-ai-powered-surveillance/

On this day in 1923, the U.S. Supreme Court *unanimously* decided that people of South Asian descent could not be American citizens, and retroactively stripped citizenship from many who had already been naturalized. Years of organized persecution followed. https://www.saada.org/explore/publications/tides/articles/united-states-of-america-vs-vaishno-das-bagai

#Megapixels 2.1.0 was just merged into #postmarketOS Edge, including a fix to make it work out-of-the-box again on the original #PinePhone! Performance is not as good as it used as it relies on software rendering to be but it can take photos at least, and it's markedly more usable than the main alternative Snapshot—which unfortunately runs at what seems to be less than 1 FPS on it.

KDE Plasma 6.6 released

KDE Plasma 6.6 has been released, and brings with a whole slew of new features. You can save any combination of themes as a global theme, and there's a new feature allowing you to increase or decrease the contrast of frames and outlines. If your device has a camera, you can now scan Wi-F settings from QR codes, which is quite nice if you spend a lot of time on the road.

There's a new colou
