It sure is strange just how many actually legitimately criminal terrorist orgs have their shit behind Cloudflare, or host actual pedophile rings on Telegram, but it's Autistici/Inventati that gets taken down.
Before semiconductor RAM, most computers used magnetic core memory. This is the 128 KB core stack from the computer on Spacelab, the Space Shuttle's experimental laboratory. Let's take a closer look...
the social contract that allows the web to exist at all is literally collapsing in real time

Young people deserve better than a policy built on panic. We're happy to see France's top court acknowledge this and strike down the country's legislation banning social media for under-15s. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/08/french-top-court-gets-it-right-strikes-down-social-media-ban-youths
We have a partial port of GrapheneOS to the Pixel 11 series after a week of work on it. We're unable to complete the port due to lack of support for ARM hardware memory tagging in software, firmware and near certainly hardware. It appears Google cut an important security feature to save money.
Thought of the day:
We need more product testing teams consisting entirely of elderly people.
Everyone a happy random "ഊ" in your filenames.
That's UTF-16 0x0D0A which when read as UTF-8 gets interpreted as CRLF aka. a windows line break.
And when you used the UTF-8 function for trimming a string it'll break everything.
Oh and while we're on it also a happy "슜" which when read the same way will be "Â" followed by a string terminator control character.
Why I mention this? Well it just broke things. Also #KDE doesn't render them in the GUI.
New article: this time, we use Heidegger to explain why the "it's just a tool" line that often comes up in tech is so very silly:

The US has declared Autistici/Inventati, an Italian anarchist hacker (in the classic sense of the term) collective, a terrorist organization. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0616/
But what you really ought to read is this article about A/I's history, and what this means https://web.archive.org/web/20260828071449/https://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10083/2
I'm concerned that the US government is starting to identify decentralized media infrastructure as a threat to its survival. Repost information about this broadly, and if you have media contacts, inform them of counter-narratives; there could come a time where the fediverse, or any decentralized network infrastructure, is a target as well if we don't sound the alarms now.
EDIT: I linked to the wrong page! The second link is now fixed :)
EDIT 2: A/I's domains have been revoked! So added an archive.org link
Infosec was paid handsomely all these years and still left all these bugs lying around. Someone from the money side should be asking questions :PPPPPPPP
