That's why legally-required identity verification sucks. For the companies, it's damned if you do, damned if you don't. The reality is that we're moving into a more authoritarian world, which is why it's important to start using indie or self-hosted apps that are not covered by the law.

Kloak - Private Communication Platform Privacy-first communication platform. No email, no passwords, no tracking. Your conversations belong to you.

kloak.app is probably one of the most promising Discord alternatives I've seen so far. It's still in devlopment, and the mobile UI is quite buggy, but I'm excited to see where it enss up in the future.

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeβ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Close-up of a dark-feathered bird with a pale beak and bright blue eye ring against a soft green background.

Here's a little more detail of the eye ring on the male Black-headed Trogon at Agami Island. The blue is skin; not feathers.

One day, I hope to get a closer view of this species.

this goes right along with my theory that the AI obsession in *users* is often bc…

1. they were never educated (esp "ipad generation") & don't know how computers work

2. our tools and services are all SO AWFUL NOW, degraded at best, actively user-hostile at worst

The Kryptos K4 plaintext has been "solved", although it would be more accurate to say it's been found by accident. The solution has been confirmed by Sanborn but has yet to be revealed publicly.
