If this goes forward — $250 bill with Trump's face on it. — Chinese will get a huge kick out of it. "250" (二百五， èrbǎiwǔ) is a common Chinese insult meaning a half-wit, a blockhead, a fool. Comedy writes itself. 笑死.

I’m here for the gloves-off version of Massie.

People seem to forget he still has 7 months left in Congress, and at this point there’s probably not much incentive for him to play nice or stay quiet. 😉🔥

Age-verification laws designed for iOS & Android are creating headaches for the open-source world, and the Linux community is pushing back.

Our founder, Carl Richell, has been one of the voices engaging directly with lawmakers on this. As he testified before a Colorado House committee: "Open-source software ensures that everyone, regardless of age or background, can learn, experiment, and build at the most fundamental level."

Colorado just passed an open-source exemption, but similar bills are moving in CA, IL, and NY.

@verge has the full story. A gift link to the article is in the comments and is valid for the next 4 days.
