We started with every app bundling full web browser inside, then every app started to add small (multi-gig) LLM, now it's linux image with LibreOffice inside.
This is the year of Linux on (your) desktop - in your ~/LibraryApplication Suport/Claude folder.

1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info

So operation "epic fury" is a "major combat operation" but is too limited in scope to be called a war, and a "special military operation" is not an invasion but a retreat during it is a "goodwill gesture".
The post truth age has become the post satire era.

Number of Russia-linked hybrid attacks in Europe has increased sharply since mid-2025, ICCT and GLOBSEC report
The International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT) and the GLOBSEC policy think tank have updated their report on Russia’s so-called “crime-terror nexus” in Europe

Joprojām domāju, ka tech gigantu lobija aktivitātes Latvijā (Valaiņa photo opps ar uzņēmumu pārstāvjiem, neko par tech nezinošo citu LV politiķu izmantošana, lai runātu par abstraktām "inovācijām" u.c.) būtu ļoti auglīgs un svarīgs lauks mūsu pētnieciskajai žurnālistikai.

And fantastic scenes in Georgia tonight.
1000s took to the streets of Tbilisi again (Day 454), with the theme support for Ukraine, including a rousing rendition of "Oi u luzi chervona kalyna" (Oh, the Red Viburnum in the Meadow)

It feels important and almost urgent to re-share the text by Darya Tsymbalyuk today. "DO NOT DESPAIR. A letter to a scholar whose homeland will be attacked by Russia next."

The defining face of the first day of the full-scale invasion is Ukrainian marine Vitalii Skakun.
He heroically sacrificed his life by blowing up a bridge in Henichesk to slow the advancing Russian columns.

Article: The political effects of X’s feed algorithm
Abstract: Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects1. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk’s platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects. Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users’ feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X’s algorithm has persistent effects on users’ current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship.
Figure 2. ITT estimates of feed-setting changes on engagement and political attitudes. ITT effect estimates of switching the algorithm on and off (in s.d.). Left, effect of moving from the chronological to the algorithmic feed for users initially on the chronological feed. Right, effect of moving in the opposite direction for users initially on the algorithmic feed. For each outcome, the results of two specifications are reported. Blue, unconditional estimates with robust s.e., controlling only for the initial feed setting and, where applicable, pre-treatment outcome levels. Orange: conditional estimates, controlling for pre-treatment covariates using GRFs; 90% and 95% CIs are reported. Numerical effect sizes and P values correspond to the conditional estimates (all tests are two-sided). The unit of observation is respondent. From top to bottom, sample sizes are n = 4,965, n = 3,337, n = 4,965, n = 4,965, n = 4,596, n = 4,596 and n = 4,850. Tests are described in Methods. Supplementary Information Table 2.16 reports the exact numerical point estimates, s.e., CIs and sample sizes for every specification. All outcomes are standardized. Additional results are presented in Supplementary Information section 2. PCA, first principal component from principal component analysis.

Happy Independence Day "Lithuania"! Here is a picture of you peacefully leaving Russia in 1991, for which you don’t show enough gratitude.
Russia is the leading provider of European independence days.
