Australia banned X for children but not BlueSky.
Britain is banning X for children but not BlueSky.
This proves one thing.
It's not about protecting children.
It's about censorship and controlling the narrative.
We are pleased to announce that Proton VPN has passed its 5th annual 3rd-party audit, confirming our strict no-logs policy.
Unlike some providers, we openly publish full no-logs reports for anyone to read.
Claims should be investigated & verified, including our own.

The UK government spyware demand means that the government decides exactly what should be censored on every mobile device. They say they will start with nude pictures (if you don’t identify yourself as an adult). But it could at any time be expanded to anything the government disapproves of. Today, 30 people are arrested every day in the United Kingdom for writing something online that the government classifies as "grossly offensive". It is obvious that they will use this tool to restrict free speech.
Currently, there appears to be no requirement to report findings outside the device. However, with both legal and technological decision-making power taken away from individuals and transferred to the government, that is only a pen stroke away.
This means that the government could also use this system for total mass surveillance.
And they can do so in secret.
The government recently, in secret, tried to pressure Apple (which is now agreeing to client-side scanning) to build backdoors into its end-to-end encrypted cloud service. They can do this under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016, also known as the "Snoopers' Charter" – a law that makes it illegal for tech companies to disclose secret demands from the government.
They told the public these cameras were for serious crime.
Now we keep seeing cases where officers are accused of using access to stalk people.
That is the problem with mass surveillance: once the database exists, abuse becomes a feature, not a surprise.

GPS and GNSS interference over Europe is starting to look like something far more serious than local outages, random radio noise, or classic ground-based jamming. Part of it may be linked to active electromagnetic emissions from Russian satellites. If that assessment holds, this is no longer just a technical issue. It becomes a question of national security, infrastructure resilience, and policy toward systems that are critical in aviation, shipping, energy, telecommunications, military operations, and precise timing.
Researchers analyzed data from ground-based GNSS stations and found short interference pulses appearing at the same time across a vast area, from Europe to Greenland and Canada. That scale does not fit a local source on the ground. It points to an object high above Earth, with the geometry needed to illuminate a large part of the continent.
The signal appeared very close to GPS L1, the core GPS band used by millions of civilian receivers. Its peak was around 1577.5 MHz, while GPS L1 sits at 1575.42 MHz, with a bandwidth of roughly 5 MHz. The data also showed a second burst around 1558.5 MHz, in a band used by China’s BeiDou system. In practice, receivers saw simultaneous drops in signal quality across GPS, Galileo, and BeiDou, in some places by about 10 dB.
The key attribution to Russian Cosmos 2546 satellite came from comparing the arrival time of the pulse at two stations. Researchers used that time difference to define a quasi-hyperboloid surface in space, meaning the surface on which the source of the emission had to be located. When they compared that surface with the orbits of suspect objects, the best match was Kosmos 2546, a Russian early-warning satellite in a Molniya orbit.
This is what the UK spyware proposal means.
There must be government spyware on every mobile device. It shall watch everything that happens, including always watching the screen, looking for things the government disapproves of.
When anything is flagged by the software as something the government doesn't like, the software must block it from being sent or displayed (in realtime).
The user of the device must not be able to shut this watching and blocking off. The only way to shut it off would be to ask the government or its proxies to do so for you, at their discretion.
Therefore the whole device must be locked down. Administrator rights and the decision of what software or operating system to run or not to run must be taken from the owner/user and handed to the government and its proxies.
Apple and Google are themselves working hard to lock down the devices they are involved in to shut out competition and establish a duopoly.
The UK government says it is "working closely" with Apple and Google and currently they synchronise and coordinate their communication on this subject.
The UK government is now proposing to mandate what would otherwise be illegal anti-competitive practices.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

It’s 2026. If you’re writing papers that say “this key escrow capability will be split among a judicial enforcement arm and the police” in the US it’s time to just be clear that you’re proposing full government cleartext access.
@hazedCS so, whenever I need to tell @officialh4nsen to fuck off, I use my stash (of 2) of saved hazed gifs of your various wonderful ways of telling him to fuck off.
Could I get a few more? It's.. important... KEKW
My initial thought is mid will still be dominated by T side utility. Smoke+molly or double molly was enough to get control before and I think itll be the same now.
If they dont want to do any massive structual changes to the map then T spawn needs to be pushed back to change timings.
The best change is the box on A, helping with retakes. I think the gap in window does mean its easier to drop down when retaking B late round due to the cover.
I can't believe I am actually typing this out but here we go:

People keep asking why spray doesn’t feel as smooth as CS:GO. My answer: until frame pacing is fixed, it won’t.
I made an animation of the AK-47 spray magnitude at different FPS to show how the magnitude of the view angles, changes with FPS, as it should.
