🚨UPDATE🚨

For context, 4 out of the 6 teens that testified today were black.

Teen 3 said Austin Metcalf told Karmelo Anthony he was not going, "to fight you at a track meet, dude."

Teen 4 said Austin never got to grab Karmelo because Karmelo stabbed him so fast.

Teen 6 said said Karmelo's vein in his arm was visible and it appeared he was grabbing something from his back pack. That something ended up being the knife that was used to kill Austin.

The Daily Mail also is reporting that all the teens testified and said Karmelo was asked repeatedly to leave the tent.

Despite the fact that Linux is already making it (you can buy Ubuntu laptops at Walmart now) this shows ignorance to a fundamental difference between GNU/Linux and other OS's

Windows is made by 1 company.
Apple is 1 company.

GNU/Linux is NOT 1 company;

Literally anyone can make their own distro, and although that may lead to different build implementations, that's literally what separates it from everyone else, and that's literally why users like me choose GNU/Linux

Linux is not gonna make it until this is fixed

ARM added Pointer Authentication as a hardware defense against ROP attacks. It cryptographically signs pointers using keys stored inside the CPU itself. Researchers defeated it using speculative execution. The CPU speculatively checks wrong signatures, rolls back before raising an exception, and leaks just enough to brute force the key. The hardware mitigation against speculation attacks was broken by a speculation attack.

This is so funny - Microsoft had their own tools with the same functionality since forever. But the only people using terminal on Windows are Linux users, so it's easier for Microsoft to port coreutils than to teach Linux people PowerShell

... was Microsoft going to become a victim of a supply chain attack on their own platform via their own product?

Someone hid a self-replicating worm inside 37 npm packages.

Written in Rust.

Hidden behind an eBPF kernel rootkit.

Talking to its operator over Tor.

It steals 86 environment variables.

AWS keys. GCP keys. Vault secrets. Kubernetes tokens.

Your Anthropic API key. Your OpenAI key.

Your Exodus wallet seed phrase.

Then it uses your own npm credentials to republish itself into your packages.

So your code infects the next developer.

Who infects the next one.

The commits were backdated up to 13 years.

The commit author name was “claude.”

The malware named itself after the AI to hide in plain sight.

The attacker also left their own wallet recovery phrase in the debug data.

Nobody is having a good day.

Check your preinstall hooks.

Now we know why Peter Thiel packed his bags for Argentina.

Milei just submitted his AI legislative framework to Congress, where he proposes:
- zero regulation on AI development,
- a brand-new "non-human corporation" category for AI/robot-operated entities with limited liability
-a low-tax regime with flexible governance rules.

The Dutch East India Company gave the world the limited liability company in 1602. Milei wants Argentina to do the same for autonomous AI agents in 2026.

@ShamashAran @hoss_actual_ Did James O'Keefe do something bad recently? If so it wasn't on my TL.

Roblox players have decided who's to blame for every bad update lately, and it's not Roblox. It's a guy named Schlep.

Let me actually walk through this.

>Schlep is the guy who went undercover and exposed grown adults preying on kids on Roblox
>Roblox's response was to ban HIM, not fix the problem
>then they buried the whole platform in age checks, chat limits and "safety" updates nobody asked for

Now people are saying Schlep "ruined Roblox" because all those changes traced back to the heat he brought.

But he didn't add the face scans. He didn't remove the chat. Roblox did.

Blaming Schlep for Roblox's "safety slop" is like blaming the smoke alarm for the fire.

So who actually ruined Roblox, the guy who exposed the problem or the company that buried it?

What do you think?
