“If you criticise Palantir’s platform one more time, you are going to lose your job.”
Solidarity to all NHS workers opposing this toxic corporation. Shame on those bullying them. But they won’t stop us. We’re going to ditch Palantir.

Pete Buttigieg quote from Heather Cox Richardson's April 10, 2026 Letter to Americans. ⁶
@petebuttigieg.bsky.social is the first American I've heard articulate this reality with such clarity.
As a Canadian, I can report it is 100% true.
Thanks @hcrichardson.bsky.social for, once again, creating a clear and concise record of what is happening.

Europe, American culture is bad for you.
Here I explain one of the central premises of my new book TheOwnedContinent.eu – decades of cultural domination has put Europeans in a servile mindset toward 🇺🇸.

Double page du magazine Paris Match intitulée « Les prématurés, les grands oubliés du système de santé français ». Le reportage photo, signé Éric Hadj, montre un grand prématuré en couveuse au service de néonatologie de l'hôpital de Hautepierre à Strasbourg, relié à de nombreux dispositifs médicaux. Le sous-titre indique : « Grands prématurés : quand la vie ne tient qu'à un fil ». En bas de l'image, le logo de l'association SOS Préma & bébés hospitalisés.
Il y a une bonne raison d'acheter Paris Match cette semaine. Et ce n'est pas pour Bardella
Mais pour le reportage sur les soins de développement, le peau-à-peau en tête, dans la prise en charge de la prématurité, au CHU de Strasbourg.

A guy asking ChatGPT to review a series of fart sound effects and getting a serious kiss ass response that calls it atmospheric
I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.
French perspective
1. The Xteink X4 is so cute
2. It's so cool you can just ask an LLM for a firmware feature
3. To flash the community firmware, you just go to xteink.dve.al and click flash, thanks to WebUSB
It's so sad Firefox doesn't implement WebUSB. Better UX *and* better security than downloading an exe.

“Because of Trump's clemency efforts for these people that have been convicted of fraud — there is more than $700 million in restitution and fines that are now poof, gone.”

JD Vance’s claims about Orbán, the EU and Hungary fact-checked. From @theguardian.com ⬇️
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
A vintage idyllic picture-postcard view of Lucerne, Switzerland; it features an impressive lakeside building and two elegant span bridges, with snow-capped Alps in the background. The image has been altered: a 'code waterfall' effect (as seen in the credit sequences of the Wachowskis' 'Matrix' movies) cascades down over the mountains and streaks across the water of the lake. Three massive fiber optic bundles rear up out of the harbor, their cut tips glowing white. The Swiss flag atop the lakeside building is haloed with radiant glowing streaks.
If you live in Switzerland you can get 25Gbit fiber. That's 25Gbit *symmetrical* - up *and* down. On a dedicated connection that's yours alone. From multiple providers. And you can switch with the click of a mouse. It's *ne plus ultra*, *magnifico*, *wunderschön*:

There is now a huge gap between people who've tried the free version of ChatGPT and say people in Big Tech who have unlimited tokens to use on the latest models to do their day jobs.
It's a night and day difference which is why it seems like we're talking past each other a lot in these discussions
“This is not a happy story in terms of the security of the U.S.,” said Tony Sager, who spent more than three decades as a computer scientist at the National Security Agency. “This is not security. This is security theater.”
The Hungarian election is about Russian oligarchy and its support of the international far right. That’s why Vance is there. He is a node in that network.

OH. MY. GOD.
THIS IS THE EARTHSET PHOTO FROM ARTEMIS II. IM SPEECHLESS.
Dear #merica, #ShadyVance is also working for putin.
‘Building an illiberal democracy in the heart of Europe started with taking advantage of the generous EU budget while relentlessly attacking what were viewed as Brussels’ infringements on Hungary’s sovereignty. EU cohesion funds financed over half of public investments’ www.ft.com/content/e04b...
Because Vance is a living node in a Russia-funded propaganda machine; everyone should please notice that there is nothing American about having to fly to a foreign country to try to influence its election so that your own career can continue as planned.
This was an interesting breakdown of Claude Code’s leak, and I’m still loling at the “sentiment analysis“ code.
If you want Claude to know you’re mad, you better say “wtf,“ “shit,“ “fuck,” “horrible,“ “awful,“ or “terrible.” Don‘t try to get fancy with “atrocious“ or “balls.”
If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.
This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.
JD Vance is heading to Hungary to endorse Viktor Orban after Easter. Here is a description of the corrupt regime, and the post-reality campaign, that the US administration now supports:
www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Vance, Trump, Putin and Netanyahu all support Orbán, which is all the evidence you need that he is way behind in the polls (which as a matter of fact he is) and running a wild campaign of lies (which as a matter of fact he is).
“Make good use of the power given to you, and remember that whatever you do to another human being, especially to the small and vulnerable, you do unto me.”

The issue, same with electric cars, is to then impose inferior products.
The EU flag. The field has been turned from blue to orange. In the center of the circle of stars is Trump's open, hooting gob. Behind the orange field we see the faded traces of a printed circuit board.
Crises precipitate change. That's no reason to induce a crisis, but you'd be a fool to let a crisis go to waste. Donald Trump is the greatest crisis of our young century, and the EU looks set to squander the opportunity, to its own terrible detriment.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, who I don’t support, does an excellent job breaking down exactly how abhorrent the Trump administration has become and how cowardly the Republican Party is to continue to support this monstrosity.
As Russia is cracking down on the use of Telegram, Whatsapp, and VPNs, citizens are moving to other apps that have an IM and calling feature included, such as KokoaTalk, Duolingo, or dating apps

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
