The idea that scattering posts across the #internet under a fake name keeps you safe may no longer hold:
"If #LLMs' success in deanonymizing people improves, the researchers warn, governments could use the techniques to unmask online critics, corporations could assemble customer profiles for 'hyper-targeted advertising', and attackers could build profiles of targets at scale to launch highly personalized social engineering #scams."

Je n'ai pas les mots pour dire à quel point je trouve que YunoHost @yunohost est un projet formidable, important, et de super qualité. Sans doute le projet libre le plus important en ce moment.
Franchement, allez-y, testez et jardinez votre bout d'internet, il n'y a plus besoin d'être un gros geek pour ce faire !

What do you do when your internet is restricted to government-controlled portals? Adapt or accept, according to Russians today. "Silicon Valley is pulling the plug. The Kremlin is locking the doors.

Digg's short-lived reboot is on pause, and a sizeable proportion of staff is being laid off, but the story isn't over. Founder Kevin Rose sold the company in 2012 but repurchased it, alongside Alexis Ohanian, in 2025, relaunching it in open beta in January 2026 as "the front page of the internet, now with superpowers." However, it was pulled from the app store today, with CEO Justin Mezzell citing the "brutal reality of finding product fit" and an "unprecedented bot problem." What now? Rose will return to Digg full time to figure out next steps. Here's @Sarahp's story for @Techcrunch.

Cutting off #Internet access for #authoritarian control is entrenched in #Russia
People talk about #meshNetworks. But Russians have decided on another approach:
pagers
radios
landline phones
Maybe the #revolution *will* be televised: it can't be streamed
I do enjoy myself some #SwanLake
"sales of pagers... saw a 73% increase compared to the same period in February. Radio sales rose by 27%, and landline phone sales grew by 25%"
