Even putting the blood diamong thing aside, making the concept of luxury goods go extinct altogether is a spiritual victory for humankind.

This is exactly the kind of policing South Africans want to see.

A SAPS member in Mitchells Plain was offered money by a convicted gang leader to smuggle drugs and other contraband into court. Instead of taking the bribe, he did his duty, arrested the suspect and ensured the evidence was seized.

That officer deserves recognition. Integrity is just as important as courage in policing.

At the same time, well done to the Mfuleni Crime Prevention Unit for acting on intelligence and recovering a prohibited firearm and ammunition. Every illegal firearm removed from our communities has the potential to save lives.

There are thousands of honest, professional SAPS members who put on the uniform every day to serve with integrity. They deserve our support and recognition. Accountability means exposing corruption where it exists, but it also means acknowledging good policing when we see it.

Well done to these members. IC

A guy named Jonah accidentally built the most useful website on the internet.

It's called Privacy Guides.

This is the website Google would rather you not find, Meta actively lobbies against, data brokers have tried to discredit for years, and the entire advertising industry treats as a direct threat to their business model.

It has been online since 2019. It takes no affiliate money. It runs no ads. Journalists cite it. Security researchers trust it.

Here's how it works.

Privacy Guides is a curated recommendation list. The site itself sells nothing.

It just tells you which private tool actually replaces every surveillance product in your life, tested by security researchers and updated every month, organized into 40+ categories with the exact reason each pick was chosen.

→ Browsers that block trackers and ads by default
→ Email providers that cannot read your messages
→ Search engines that do not build a profile on you
→ Password managers you can self-host
→ VPNs that accept cash and Monero and log nothing
→ Messengers with end-to-end encryption Signal-tier or better
→ Photo apps that do not scan your camera roll
→ Health apps that do not sell your data to insurance companies
→ A custom Android OS called GrapheneOS that strips Google out of your phone entirely

The site is run by a non-profit called MAGIC Grants. Every recommendation goes through a public forum review, a GitHub pull request, and criteria published on the site so anyone can audit why a tool was chosen. No company can pay to be listed. No affiliate link exists on the entire domain.

Google can't shut this down. Meta can't shut this down. Amazon can't shut this down.

The entire $600 billion surveillance advertising industry is built on the assumption that you would never spend one afternoon on this website.

"My concern is deeper than that Colonel. I do not accept your explanation Colonel. You caused for somebody to be arrested. Somebody who, on your own facts, was not complicit in the crime described in the charge sheet. But because of YOUR affidavit and the way the charge sheet is drafted, she was arrested. That's IRRESPONSIBLE in the extreme and that's ABUSE OF POWER. And it's not enough to say NOTED, no Colonel. I do not accept that. I worry for the other citizenry. Must I? No, Colonel"

An American woman living in South Africa says she's been pleasantly surprised by the way many South African men approach women. She praises their respectful demeanor, saying it's a refreshing contrast to the harassment and catcalling she often experienced in the United States.

Those not familiar with this case, Gayton (Nongoloza), asked municipality to book him a flight to JHB to fundraise for Central Karoo.

When money started coming, he diverted it to himself through his lawyer, claiming the money was never for Central Karoo but himself.

Then the DA opened a case which he has stalled by withholding docs which has seen been ordered to be released.

The President knew about all this but appointed him anyway.

Meta used AI to target workers with medical conditions for layoffs, according to a new lawsuit.

Twenty-six former Meta employees are suing, accusing the company of using AI that disproportionately targeted people with disabilities or workers who took medical leave in selecting people ​for mass layoffs.

[J. J. Ellis @jjellisart]

I said this about AI well over a year ago. Using it to diagnose and fire people with medical conditions so they lose their insurance AND their income is somehow even more heartless and evil than I’d predicted.

One day I posed as undocumented foreign national and went to Home Affairs office in Harrison Street, Johannesburg and bought myself a South African Identity Document for just R300.
