In the black of the winter of nineteen-nine
When we froze & bled on the picket line,
We showed the world that women could fight
& we rose & won with women's might.

»How to Stay Anonymous on the Internet in 2026 (Practical Guide to Online Privacy)
With the right tools and habits, you can dramatically reduce how much of your data is exposed and browse the internet far more.«
This article is not wrong but in my opinion very superficial. This is certainly a good introduction for people who are starting to move more safely on the Internet.

Wow. I've dealt with various toxic personalities in software development, but a good portion of the time those toxic personalities were at least extremely knowledgeable in their (often, very limited) domain.
AI, however, seems to be enabling toxic personalities *who are completely clueless*. Impressive!

“They won’t imprison us all, they know if they fill the prisons with activists, we will overpower them from within. So flood the damn streets in your millions. Shut down these factories in your thousands! They can never arrest the resistance in our smiles. We will use the shards of our broken hearts to spear the system of injustice.” -- Qesser Zuhrah

When I try to change my password, if you block paste I don't feel more secure, I wonder what other incompetence is hiding in your site's software stack.
And if you aren't letting me paste, _and_ you want annoying bullshit in my password, at least let give me a button to let me see what the fuck I am typing.
Having a password length limit, especially one as low as 15 characters, just makes me think you're doing something fundamentally wrong like storing passwords in clear text and confirms my opinion that there's a ton of other incompetence in your software stack.
This all came up when I was trying to add the mysubaru app on my wife's phone.
And a HUGE fuck you for claiming I had the wrong password when I tried to log in with the one in my password manager, but when I did a password reset, not letting me use the one from my password manager because "You can't change it to your current password."

Prem ghinde thinks that Alan is killing bitcoin.
Alan is paid in government money, and saves in bitcoin. He's an imaginary straw man.
Alan doesn't plan to spend his bitcoin though. Just stack it until he sells it. And this doesn't build the bitcoin network.
Without transitions, when the block rewards run out, there will be no money for miners. Miners will need fees, which means transactions.
Since he's paying in bank money, he's funding bankers instead of miners. He's encouraging retail to accept bank money instead of miners and lightning liquidity providers.
Unlike Alan, Prem lives on the bitcoin standard. All in. Spending sats because he has no bank money to spend. It can be done, he insists. Today. Mostly by using gift vouchers bought with bitcoin.
He's sad that people here are buying drinks from the hotel with bank cards instead of lightning.
Stop watching the price, he says, it's only a measure of government money's collapse. Change your yardstick. Account in bitcoin. Dollars aren't even money, they are currency. If you must measure, do it against gold.
Since moving to el Salvador he had learned Spanish, until he even dreams in Spanish. Try to dream in bitcoin.
Every transaction is a vote, so stop voting for bank money.
I think the main trouble with this is that tax event in every purchase, and the fact my employer won't set a wage in bitcoin even if they would convert to bitcoin to pay me.

Arizona’s attorney general is suing to force the Republican House speaker, Mike Johnson, to swear in Adelita Grijalva, a Democrat who won a congressional special election in September.
Grijalva was elected on 23 September in the southern Arizona district that her father, Raúl Grijalva, held until his death earlier this year.
Kris Mayes, the Democratic attorney general in Arizona, had promised to sue if Johnson would not let Grijalva get started on her work. She sent a letter to J…

Brazil’s federal police on Saturday arrested former president Jair Bolsonaro over suspicion he was plotting to escape and avoid starting a 27-year prison sentence for leading a coup attempt.
The decision laid bare some of the country’s divisions, with many uncorking Champagne outside the far-right leader’s prison to celebrate as his supporters prepared a religious act in his favor.
In a dramatic and unexpected twist in the final stage of a long and divisive criminal trial, feder…

Thirteen years ago, a Brooklyn man’s child molestation conviction pierced a veil of silence in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community,
where many people who dared to report sexual abuse were shunned, expelled from schools and had businesses ruined.
Now the man, Nechemya Weberman, an unlicensed therapist who was sentenced to 103 years in prison, could be on a path to freedom.
Mr. Weberman, 67, is scheduled to appear in court next month, with a judge set to decide whether to comm…
