@kestral Adobe is why we can’t have nice, or saucy, things! GIMP forever!!

Holy shit, it's really true.

Yes pollen allergies are getting worse!

No it's not because of sexism!

It's because of climate change!

It would be cool if we could focus on fixing THAT, instead of chasing our tails with botanical sexism!

We spent years teaching people not to paste secrets into Slack. Turns out we should've been watching the AI they're pasting them into instead.

Amazon just pulled Kindle Store access from every Kindle released before 2013. The hardware still works. Your books still work. Side-loading EPUBs over USB still works.

The fix is the same one that's worked since 2007 — and here's exactly how to do it, step by step:

“Discord is in the business of making money by selling their users’ personal data,” EFF's Samantha Baldwin told @arstechnica. “They are implementing ‘age verification’ to meet regulatory compliance and to collect more data about their customers, not protect children.” https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/04/dad-stuck-in-support-nightmare-after-teen-lied-about-age-on-discord/

It's hard not to do a puff piece about JD Vance. That's a very puffy man.

Oh no, the AI rollout would have totally worked so well if it wasn't for those Damn Kids sabotaging it. They do it out of fear, you see, because the AI companies' random text generators are so good at, like, jobs and such.

Process without verification.

True story: 100% *successful* autonomous completion of non-trivial coding tasks by "AI agents" isn't a thing. It doesn't exist. It's not even close to existing.

Treat any such claims like you would treat claims of people teleporting to the office.

He’s taking the parks, too. This guy just sucks in every imaginable way.

Reddit has been ordered to appear before a grand jury as the Trump administration tries to unmask anonymous online critics. “We should be very, very, very concerned that they’ve now taken one of these to a grand jury,” EFF’s @davidgreene told @theintercept. https://theintercept.com/2026/04/10/reddit-ice-protest-grand-jury/

Positive News: France has announced its plan to ditch Windows & switch to Linux for government desktops. 🥳 🇫🇷

Not only that, but they have also moved 80, 000 National Health Insurance Fund Employees to open source alternatives replacing U.S owned Big Tech platforms like Microsoft Teams & Zoom.

It’s amazing to see the country take action, push for real digital sovereignty, & opt for open source solutions! 👏
