The U.S. government will for the first time
allow vetted private companies to launch offensive cyber operations against international criminal gangs and hackers,
the White House said on Wednesday.
In a newly published presidential memorandum,
the Trump administration said the move will allow the federal government to use
“innovative capabilities of the private sector”
to combat cybercrime and threats targeting Americans,
such as ransomware attacks,
Amazon will invest in a gas-burning power plant in Texas, which will power a new data center. That one plant will produce more carbon dioxide than countries such as Switzerland, Ireland or Bulgaria.

TL;DR: Node’s standalone binaries have been broken on major Linux distributions since version 25. Stay on 24 if you need them functional by default.
If you’re installing Node.js via a standalone binary package, think twice before upgrading to Node 26.
On many Linux distributions these binaries will fail unless you separately install libatomic.so.1.
This is one example, why it concerns us all who is elected president in the US.
We are loosing crucial data points. It scares me, because it will not stop there. The climate crisis will come over us, whether we look at it or not. Not looking means, we will be unprepared.

My November prediction: mid-term elections will happen with varying levels of chaos (I expect A LOT of voter suppression in red states), but Dems will take a ton of seats despite that, easily gaining control of the House. Some genuine progressives, but mostly corporate stooge Dems. Because stock traders are idiots, they will panic because "Dems are bad for business and will crash the stock market!" and will cause a massive market crash.
