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://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10083/2I'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 :)

Obejrzałam na HBO film "Głos Hind Rajab". Oparty jest na prawdziwych wydarzeniach: akcji ratunkowej, którą Czerwony Półksiężyc próbował przeprowadzić w Gazie w 2024 roku. Ratownicy dowiedzieli się, że armia izraelska ostrzelała auto ze zwykłą rodziną w środku. Przeżyła tylko sześciolatka, której głos z prawdziwych nagrań słyszymy w filmie. Śledzimy losy tej akcji w centrum ratowniczym. Masakra.To bardzo ważny film. Tylko ogląda się go niezwykle trudno.#Gaza

So, I’ve switched from #evernote to #obsidian a couple of months ago encouraged by @vladcampos . I just realized today that I do not miss #evernote at all. Thanks Vlad! Ps I have used a couple of community plugins - like #notebooknavigator, #homepage, #notetoolbar and #omnisearch to get features I relied on in Evernote. I also use beautiful Velocity theme.

At the city level, EFF works with community members and decision makers to outright refuse ALPR purchasing. EFF also pushes state legislatures to establish strict state-level limits on ALPR surveillance, such as data-deletion rules and use restrictions. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/08/effs-policy-position-alpr-surveillance-eliminate-it-and-reduce-its-harms
