Strange to see people on here in this day and age talking about web3 as if it were 1) still a thing (we've moved on to AI hype, get with the program), and 2) not extremely conservative coded at this point. Trump is beloved of the crypto-bros, so if you are publicly crypto-broing, a lot of us are just going to assume you're also fan of this admin, rightly or wrongly. I'd have thought Trump going full crypto would have made it toxic for "progressives," but alas...

> "When a politician promises to bring back American manufacturing with tariffs, ask them: who’s going to rebuild the ecosystem Wall Street torched three decades ago? Tariffs won’t fix decades of deindustrialization driven by elite consensus. Only massive, consistent investment in R&D, education, and infrastructure ever could... say the quiet part out loud: America was deindustrialized not by China or Mexico, but by its own ruling class chasing yield.” #WilliamHuo, Intel’s first rep in Beijing

It’s a sad day in America when student journalists must resign or write anonymously because they fear government reprisals.

This is the opposite of free speech.

We already knew that Clearview is a supremely cynical purveyor of facial recognition software that is becoming a core part of the surveillance state. Now, thanks to some great reporting just published in Mother Jones, we also know how transcendentally evil it is.

Fun and frightening to try such techniques on your own containers. Thank goodness for Alpine, stropping things back. Bugs me when there's no basic GNU stack in a container when I need to debug, no less, curl, netstat, ip, dig etc, but you see why

I'm always curious to hear what real-world numbers are like around any new tariffs and here's keyboard.io explaining how if Trump actually goes through with it, prices would double for their high-end keyboards (with no additional profit, all money goes to tariff charges) https://shop.keyboard.io/blogs/news/an-open-letter-to-u-s-customers

Due to the new tariffs that came into effect on April 5th, we’re temporarily pausing US sales of a few of our base Framework Laptop 13 systems (Ultra 5 125H and Ryzen 5 7640U).

For now, these models will be removed from our US site.

We will continue to provide updates as we have them.
