@MsMelChen Canada, similarly. Our PM has decided unilaterally to adopt the same approach. It’s almost like it’s coordinated.

People talking about building shit with taste and using good judgment like it’s some kinda new thing. lol

I am tired of Apple engineers telling me to “please file feedback.” So I built RelatoKit: a CLI for agents to prepare clean Feedback Assistant reports, categorize them, attach evidence, fill the native app in the background, and submit them! github.com/rryam/RelatoKit

It's almost as if it was planned all along... Do people not realise the Online Safety Act is the silent engine that is driving the mass rollout of Digital ID across the UK? We tried to tell you in May 2021... That Act created the 'demand' for identity verification as a prelude to the Data (Use and Access) and Children's Wellbeing and Schools Acts. It's the classic playbook: engineer the problem, stoke the chaos, and sell the pre-planned 'solution.' Yet people still blind themselves to the trap, actively participating in building the very digital cage that locks them in.

Those who use social media to incite violence and disorder are breaking the law. Next week we will lay in Parliament an update to the Online Safety Act requiring services to take quicker action to remove illegal content circulating during times of crisis.

This is HUGE news. PhD astronomer and former NASA engineer Ivo Busko has single-handedly driven a final nail into the coffin of the contamination-based hypotheses (e.g. plate defects and cosmic rays) proposed to explain the VASCO transients. He did so using one of the most creative approaches in astronomy I have ever seen: by analysing pre-Sputnik photographic plates from a German telescope known to suffer from severe optical distortions (aberrations), he demonstrated that the transients appear on these plates and exhibit the same optical distortions as the stars themselves. They are slightly narrower and sharper than the stars, consistent with brief flashes. This is a crucial result. It shows that the transient light passed through the telescope optics, meaning the transients originate from real objects producing light, rather than from plate defects or cosmic-ray contamination that hit the plate. Dr Busko has also shown that the transients cluster spatially and are associated with periods close to nuclear tests. See the example of the triple transient with optical comas. This is the greatest gift. Congratulations, Ivo. I'm happy beyond belief. Read Ivo Busko's paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2606.08319
