“ICE officials were told that the White House wanted an increase in arrests, according to three officials with knowledge of the conversations. One of the officials said that it was unclear how long the pace could continue, but that ICE officials had been told that 2,000 arrests a day was the new standard for enforcement.”

quotas inevitably lead to abuses. this is not good for community respect for law enforcement. this is not good for our society.

so various projects just disappeared from kernel.org hosting overnight

for example https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/bluetooth is gone, https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/iw is gone, https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/usb is 403

anyone got any idea what happened? this hosts a *lot* of various core distro utils

Sharks can get cancer. The misconception that sharks do not get cancer was spread by the 1992 book Sharks Don't Get Cancer, which was used to sell extracts of shark cartilage as cancer prevention treatments. Reports of carcinomas in sharks exist, and current data does not support any conclusions about the incidence of tumors in sharks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%5Fof%5Fcommon%5Fmisconceptions%5Fabout%5Fscience,%5Ftechnology,%5Fand%5Fmathematics#Other%5Fvertebrates

I wrote this post over a year ago, but it probably needs repeating periodically. From my perspective, CHERI isn't really about security, it's about making it possible to solve a bunch of interesting language-interoperability and end-user-programming problems that happen to need a bunch of security fixed as building blocks. And so we get a load of security stuff for free. But that's not why I worked on it.

@jwz@mastodon.social @mjg59@nondeterministic.computer The death of rss was cultural, tho. It disappeared from people's consciousness, even in the tech sector.
A couple years back, a friend working at a large multinational software company was talking with me about this cool project his backend colleagues were thinking about, that could revolutionize how content was distributed and updated in their infrastructure. He was really surprised when, unprompted, I revealed to him details of how it could and should work, and possible pitfalls they might encounter. They were trying to reinvent RSS because nobody in the company had even heard of it.

As just one data point: in 2013, when Google Reader was killed, there were 69M WordPress sites.

In 2026, there are 600M WordPress sites.

That means that in the years since Google "killed" RSS, there are *at the very least* 531 million additional RSS feeds.

@mjg59 Unpopular take: Google Reader was nothing special, but lots of people who should have known better decided that this re-centralized version of RSS was equivalent to RSS, and so when Google Reader died so did RSS. All the anger about Google killing RSS is wrong, they just killed one barely-above-mediocre app.

[ narrator ] RSS is exactly as alive as it ever was.

Google Reader's one innovation was "what if cache". It was the Clownflare of blog syndication.

It’s pretty close to journalistic malpractice to do a piece on “how AI (whatever that means) is affecting {some profession, e.g teaching}” and not talk to the people who work in that field.

Literally saw a piece broadcast a few weeks ago and they talk to someone at Google about AI in Google Classroom but don’t talk to any actual teachers.

The people doing the job know their own reality in a way even the most honest tech folk never will, and the corporate sales droids are not honest tech folk.

Archipelago Mode in Bonfire!

Yes, it's exactly what you think it is (quoting)

The headline feature is Archipelago mode. The usual way to federate is "open": you connect with the entire fediverse by default and block bad actors as they show up, a never-ending game of whack-a-mole since anyone can spin up a new account or server. Archipelago mode flips this around: you can choose to federate only with a hand-picked allow-list of trusted people, groups and servers, and keep everything else out by default.

Trusted communities can in turn agree to federate with each other, forming an "archipelago" of like-minded "islands" with common rules and safety expectations. It's a great fit for tight-knit communities who only want to connect with their friends and allies, and for groups who federate together by choice (neighbourhoods, towns, assemblies, cooperatives, movements, or not-for-profit organisations) and want to stay connected to one another without necessarily being open to the wider internet. (Credit for the concept goes to Oliphant and Nora Tindall.)

Splashdown is a new Gemini protocol server that I just released like three minutes ago. It's written in PHP (of course), which means it can also execute PHP within a capsule. This will power omg.lol's upcoming Gemini capsule support, but I’m happy to share the source freely! https://source.tube/neatnik/Splashdown
