The UK has announced plans to fast-track legislation requiring “age verification for VPN use”. The correct term, however, is not age verification but identity verification.
A law like this would require everyone to identify themselves in order to use a VPN. This would pose a risk to whistleblowers, violate human rights, and represent yet another step toward an authoritarian society.

Ohhh Iain and Damian are running and the rumor mill is talking about a certain Kilian might be running #BM100 #UltraRunning #BarkleyMarathon

Ohhh and it sounds like Jasmin (not on list) is there too and Emma from Ireland (on list) and some French dudes ;)
The 2026 Barkley Marathons began with one of the strongest fields ever. The starting field came from 15 Counties as well as 15 States, and included ten women. The course seemed not to care. Over 70% of the field is done. #BM100
Water Ballon Guy has begun loop 2, followed quickly by another French guy. Seven runners are on loop 2. #BM100

I would advise shelling out just a little bit more money for a newer generation with a little more grunt. For me the 4GB RAM is often the limiting factor.

putting AI in everything, dire warnings from the 70s-80s [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Their primary claim to fame seems to be constructing just about everything with (unstable) advanced robotics and software. From doors to lifts, to toaster ovens, drinks machines, vacuum cleaners, and "personal massage units"—everything has been built with a full GPP or Genuine People Personality. This means that even a set of airlock doors has emotions, hopes, dreams, intelligence, and worse of all, the capacity for boredom. It should come as no surprise then, that the majority of these devices have a neurotic streak a mile wide.
The company motto is "Share and Enjoy." This is widely adaptable, from synthesised drinks to the company of a robot, or "Your plastic pal who's fun to be with", as their robots are described as by the aforementioned Marketing Department.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy describes the Marketing Department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as: "A bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes."
Curiously, an edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica which fell through a rift in the time-space continuum from 1000 years in the future describes the Marketing Department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as: "A bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came." #hhgttg #HitchhikersGuide

You prob know this already, but if you duck-search, you can go to a slightly different entry point at https://noai.duckduckgo.com to do web searches without AI slop dumping on you.
I see they've dressed up the landing page there! Now more obviously non-AI. I mean, it's a selling feature, so yeah, go to town guys.
(if you still google things, consider the duck search! it's worked well for me for years, and the non-ai version is a nice step forward).

The landing page has huge letters saying NO AI with a cameo of a duck. Smaller boxes note that AI-assisted answers and AI-generated images are removed as well.

On 23 Dec 2025, the #UKgovt lost a huge #Judo contest. #GretaThunberg used the #UKgovt's own power against it.
In July, the UK banned #PalestineAction as "#terrorist". Arrests for supporting PA total ~2,500, mostly older people. #Greta is the latest.
UK public opinion opposes the arrests. But Greta's fame takes the disdain global.
If Greta is convicted, the UK globally looks cruel. If she is acquitted or uncharged, it globally looks weak.
The UK govt has trapped itself, with no way out.

Against a black background, a photo of Greta Thunberg is overlaid with prison bars. On the black background, the capitalised headline above the photo reads "THE TRIAL OF GRETA THUNBERG".
Below the photo, in lower case, is written the phrase "accused of terrirism for holding a paper sign".

The war on privacy and encryption goes on. This time in the UK. Under the “Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill”, lawmakers now want client-side scanning on every phone and tablet.
The lawmakers write: “Any relevant device supplied for use in the UK must have installed tamper-proof system software which is highly effective at preventing the recording, transmitting (by any means, including livestreaming) and viewing of CSAM using that device.”

As there seems to have been recent confusion about this, just a quick "official" toot to then pin: we haven't and won't support "generative AI" related stuff in LibreWolf. If you see some features like that (like Perplexity search recently, or the link preview feature now) it is solely because it "slipped through". As soon as we become aware of something like this / it gets reported to us, we will remove/disable it ASAP.

@librewolf Hate to ping on an old toot but could you clarify regarding this issue https://codeberg.org/librewolf/issues/issues/2848#issuecomment-10290800?
Your toot seems to imply removal, but the comment on the issue states llma.cpp will remain as part of Librewolf?
...
@scremlin it should be quite clear with the comment given in that issue; but to try and rephrase: we do what we can (removing, disabling, not supporting) any LLM/GenAI-stuff. We will not (or rather: _cannot_) take up the burden to find, remove, and maintain as what'd then basically be a hard fork, all the LLM/GenAI-related code, dependencies, etc.
While we'd certainly like to see it "even more gone", this is just not reasonably doable for us.
Hope that makes it clearer.
...
@librewolf very understandable. thanks for the clarification and I appreciate you taking the time to get back to me.
