Sen. Erin Maye Quade on ICE in MN

He was dadmaxxing while DRUMPF just got uglier with age 💅

This former military barracks in Bulgaria has become a symbol of the E.U.’s increasingly strict policing of its borders — and of what may come next.

The thread is pretty self-explanatory. @JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social posts an comic about a character called Thorgal who finds an entire family who have been hung for poaching and speaks out against it. Johnny deems this "blockhead" behavior, condemning standing up for what's right when it isn't personally beneficial as "chivalrous Brainy Smurf". The criticism that this is a sentiment that benefits fascism is met with excessive mod overreach qualifying it as trolling and followed up with a 4 year ban. He then asks Blaze for help moderating the community and claims that the lack of utter sycophantic acceptance of his pro-authoritarianism is a sign of a "weird, toxic attempt to attack the community".

Is Thorgal a blockhead? Does JohnnyEnzyme demand bootlicking? Is using moderation privileges to enforce your own opinion a case of biased moderation? Is it trolling to suggest that fascists love those who encourage others to avoid so-called futile resistance? You decide.

Personally, I blocked this poster and community on this account before the ban was issued and have no interest in further participation, but I'm struck by attitude about resistance to injustice displayed here and find the heavy-handed response ironic and worth drawing attention to.

Zero-click prompt injection can leak data when AI agents meet messaging apps, researchers warn

I swear I looked like a bum when I grabbed a slice of pizza with my hands because everyone was using a knife and fork, one of my worst moments

PCs without the new certificates could eventually have trouble booting new OSes.

Following the EU Council’s vote last week to extend the controversial “Chat Control 1.0” (Regulation (EU) 2021/1232), civil society resistance is forming. Activists are calling on citizens to take immediate action and contact Members of the European Parliament via the platform fightchatcontrol.eu. While EU governments are pushing to continue the mass screening of private messages by US tech companies, the European Parliament’s position remains undecided. The draft report by Rapporteur Birgit Sippel (S&D) is expected shortly.

Exclusive: Eirik Kristoffersen, who served in Afghanistan, rejects Trump’s claim that NATO troops stayed off frontlines

Norway’s army chief has said Oslo cannot exclude the possibility of a future Russian invasion of the country, suggesting Moscow could move on Norway to protect its nuclear assets stationed in the far north.

“We don’t exclude a land grab from Russia as part of their plan to protect their own nuclear capabilities, which is the only thing they have left that actually threatens the United States,” said Gen Eirik Kristoffersen, Norway’s chief of defence.

He conceded that Russia did not have conquest goals in Norway in the same way as it had in Ukraine or other former Soviet territories, but said much of Russia’s nuclear arsenal was located on the Kola peninsula, a short distance from the Norwegian border, including nuclear submarines, land-based missiles and nuclear-capable aircraft. These would be crucial if Russia came into conflict with Nato elsewhere.

It's a day with a name ending in Y, so you know what that means: Another OpenClaw cybersecurity disaster.

This time around, SecurityScorecard's STRIKE threat intelligence team is sounding the alarm over the sheer volume of internet-exposed OpenClaw instances it discovered, which numbers more than 135,000 as of this writing. When combined with previously known vulnerabilities in the vibe-coded AI assistant platform and links to prior breaches, STRIKE warns that there's a systemic security failure in the open-source AI agent space.

"Our findings reveal a massive access and identity problem created by poorly secured automation at scale," the STRIKE team wrote in a report released Monday. "Convenience-driven deployment, default settings, and weak access controls have turned powerful AI agents into high-value targets for attackers."

A British woman was shot dead by her father last year after the pair had argued about President Donald Trump earlier that day. Lucy Harrison, 23, was fatally shot on Jan. 10, 2025 while visiting her father, Kris Harrison, in suburban Dallas at his home in Prosper, Texas. Harrison moved to the U.S. when Lucy was a child.

Prosper police originally investigated her death as a possible case of manslaughter, but a criminal case in Texas was not brought after a grand jury in Collin County opted not to indict him. Her death is being investigated in Cheshire Coroner’s Court in England.

I just installed Radicale and could not at first figure out how to add a calendar that I could edit in the app. And since I could not find any decent post on the topic, here is how to do it (as of iOS 18.7.3 on an iPhone 13 pro, but I imagine the process being very similar on other devices):

1. Open the Settings application.
2. Scroll to the bottom and open the Apps options.
3. Open settings for the Calendar application.
4. Open Calendar accounts.
5. Add a new account.
6. Chose "other".
7. Chose "CalDav-account".
8. Enter URL and credentials for your Radicale server.

I have SSL set up with Let's Encrypt managed with Caddy so that was all I had to do. I say this because I read one discussion about SSL being needed.

I made a post with the title something like:

"AI bubble will pop" is the new "This year is the Linux year". Changing my mind.

My intention was to start a discussion about people saying AI bubble will pop but it never happens.

It was meant to be provoking to motivate people to try to argue.

The thing is the post completely disappeared from my profile, I can't even see it anymore? Is it normal?

I don't think this is reason enough to permanently ban me. I didn't even get a warning, mute or something.
