Regular PSA reminder:

While GnuPG 2.5.x implements hybrid PQC encryption based on ML-KEM, just like https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-openpgp-pqc/, GnuPG's implementation is entirely incompatible with the IETF-specified format, which all other libraries are implementing.
Both serialization and the KEM combiners differ.

The bottom line is that anyone who wants to use vendor-agnostic PQC with OpenPGP should *avoid GnuPG's PQC key formats*.

This is all exceedingly unfortunate and weird, and frankly, a total disgrace.

Palantir has issued a far-right, racist manifesto denouncing "dysfunctional" & "regressive" cultures & critticising "attempts to hound wealthy figures out of public life by scrutinising their behaviour."

It also called for "the expansion of AI weaponry."

Palantir shares fell immediately.

Palantir "has accelerated Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza", & yet the British govt has granted it access to NHS England.

Apartheid, Waiting for Ethnic Cleansing: Israel's 'Only Remaining Problem'

"A population that has been displaced, which has had its homes and sources of livelihood destroyed, becomes more vulnerable to ethnic cleansing at the 'right' time. To put it succinctly, by every possible measure but one (and a tiny bit more) – the Zionist victory over the Palestinians is total. Political, military

'Amid a general lack of trust in Washington’s willingness or even ability to negotiate an agreement, #Iran issued its own list of conditions for a peace deal—including guarantees that the war would not resume, an end to attacks in Lebanon, Gaza, and Iraq, reparations for war damages suffered during the fighting, and recognition of Iranian right to exercise authority over the Strait of Hormuz.' https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/iran-trump-war-ceasefire-pakistan #USFascism

Molly Crabapple on the Jewish Bund

'When I wrote my book about the Bund, I made sure to focus on the women. Some were barricade fighters and orators. Some shot guns, wrote theoretical treatises, and pulled their friends off of boxcars bound for Treblinka...I tried to pay attention to the humbler work of life. The women’s vigils alongside Mokotow prison. The women on the bus to Rikers. The aunties who pack the packages. The hands that keep movements alive'

'In peacetime, dependencies like sulfur were easy to miss. Understanding this prelogistical dimension is essential because it forces planners to look beyond stockpiles and shipping, and instead ask a more fundamental question: Do we have the basic industrial and chemical inputs required to regenerate combat power in a protracted conflict?'

Funny how they do keep trying to ban it, though

'America’s AI prowess on computer chips and cutting-edge software is being hamstrung by the country’s inability to manufacture the electrical parts. “There’s not enough domestic capacity to go around, so people are pretty much forced to go to the export market,” says Benjamin Boucher, senior analyst with Wood Mackenzie...The import dependence is putting data center companies in a bind'
