Also (the Rivian e-bike spinoff) feels like the US finally has its own Vanmoof, and I mean that with everything that comparison entails.

GET REKT we were right all along

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

Zen Browser recently got a great update that makes a lot of quality of life improvements, and generally over the last few months it has become fully capable of being my daily browser.

It's going to be so amazing being alive in 2026 because the front page will say "BREAKING Mamdani Received Free Cheese Pizza From a Local Vendor, Calls to Resign Mount" and then on page 3 you'll see "Hegseth's Pentagon Rape Dungeon Raises Legal Questions."

In a world where Mario Kart World costs $80 because Nintendo is pricing games according to “the right price for the value of the entertainment.” Pokémon Z-A costs too much at $70.

Printing Money: Paxos Mints, Then Burns $300 Trillion in PayPal Stablecoins - Decrypt A fat-finger mistake, or a hack? Crypto traders are confounded after $300 trillion worth of PayPal's PYUSD was minted and then burned.

it's going to be a 20+ year orgy of dysfunction and financial fraud painfully illustrating why functioning regulators are important

completely avoidable, but we all have to suffer in perpetuity because eggheads like Andreessen got mad because a female antitrust reformer briefly ran the FTC

Genuinely evil

Yeah I got so sick of it I eventually just got a keychron mouse with a usbc receiver and called it a day.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and will almost certainly be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for

If I had to guess the biggest immediate thing you'll notice is a lot of annoying pop-ups making a big deal about "This version of windows is no longer supported," long term what will get you is the lack of security updates.

Fwiw, switching from Bluesky’s PDS to Blacksky’s was super quick and easy with @tektite.cc
