Reporting on what ICE officers are doing in full public view isn’t “leaking.”

The government loves to argue that there’s no privacy in public when it wants to surveil you. But apparently it doesn’t believe the same rules apply to ICE.

I always wanted a simple way to put the phone to silent mode when e.g. placing it on the table next to the 🛏️ . Since Biemster got NFC to work on the Oneplus 6/6T (https://github.com/biemster/pmos-openbox-conky/blob/main/nxp_nci_i2c.py) we can leverage that and have feedbackd's profile adjusted when certain RFIDs are seen (https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/feedbackd/-/merge_requests/154). For this to land we want to move the NFC support from a python script to s.th. like nfcd (https://github.com/biemster/pmos-openbox-conky/pull/18#issuecomment-2653920089). Help on this would be appreciated.

People who think you are dunking on tech overlords by asking an LLM about them: WTF are you doing? Hey let's burn up a bunch of resources so I can get an algo to parrot my own criticisms of the people I hate back to me! And if you ever find yourself thinking "I wonder what ChatGPT thinks about this?" understand that you are experiencing the ELIZA effect - step away from the computing device until your rationality returns.

Imagine being an infosec person in US govt trying to write communicate about today's patches from Microsoft. You wouldn't even be able to properly classify or describe the most serious 0day today --a privilege escalation vulnerability -- because banned "DEI" words.

Danish citizens have launched an online petition, signed by 200,000 people, to purchase California. The petition notes that purchasing the Golden State would provide Danes with more sunshine, dominance in the tech industry, limitless avocado toast, and easy access to Disneyland. In return, California would get the rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.

Can they buy Wisconsin, please? I'd take that offer! 😆

Axios says Democratic "leadership" is pissed at people who ask Americans to call Congress members' office to demand they resist Trump lawlessness and vile policies.

If this is true, it pretty much sums up the sad condition of the official Democratic establishment.

My boy's orthodontist is a 100% 'Apple' shop. Have to hold down the bile while I'm in there. As a side note, they seem to have a lot of visible computer problems, especially with appropriate versions of their proprietary software on various machines. Staffers complained about it independently the last couple visits. I managed to hold my tongue. So to speak.
