UPDATES 🚨 There is currently NO federal privacy law protecting your data.
And Congress wants to change that, but maybe not in the way you'd hope.
We just updated the most comprehensive Privacy Bill Tracker on the internet. Check out the Headlines:
⚖️ SCOTUS just ruled police need a warrant for geofence data (Chatrie v. United States) Huge win for the 4th Amendment
🤖 98+ AI chatbot bills are moving across 34 states right now, after multiple teen deaths tied to AI companion apps
📱 23 states have privacy laws, but Congress is pushing a federal bill that could wipe out the STRONGER state protections you already have
👁️ DHS is quietly merging facial recognition across CBP, ICE, TSA & USCIS into one system with zero law governing it
This isn't theory. This is happening right now, and most people have no idea.
See exactly where your state stands (updated weekly):

🌐 GrapheneOS vient d’obtenir ses propres adresses internet
Le registre nord-américain (ARIN) leur a attribué un bloc d’adresses IPv4, après une longue liste d’attente. Ces adresses sont rares on n’en fabrique plus
> Ils possèdent maintenant un lot d’environ 1 000 adresses
> Ils vont le découper en 4 paquets, un par site
> Chaque site aura environ 250 adresses utilisables
> Le premier est déjà posé à Toronto, là où tourne leur serveur mail
> Ils avaient déjà deux petits lots pour leurs serveurs DNS
Quand tu loues un serveur, les adresses appartiennent à l’hébergeur... S’il coupe, change, ou a une mauvaise réputation, tu subis
Là, @GrapheneOS annonce ses propres adresses IP (Le trafic arrive chez eux, pas chez un intermédiaire)
Plus de contrôle, moins de dépendance sur les Mail, DNS et services
Ce n’est pas une option dans l’OS de ton téléphone. C’est l’infrastructure derrière leurs services qui se solidifie
Un pas de plus vers l’indépendance grâce au gros travail quotidien de GOS pour protéger la Privacy (dans un monde où cela devient suspect !)
De plus en plus rare... Merci et soutien à vous 👏
Earlier today, ARIN fulfilled our request for an IPv4 /22 via their IPv4 Waiting List. We now own the following IP space:
2602:F4D9::/36
23.149.124.0/24
23.149.125.0/24
206.220.120.0/22
Our initial 2x IPv4 /24 were quickly obtained via NRPM 4.10 for our ns1 and ns2 anycast DNS.

Signal just had its biggest week in years.
Two phones, one account. You can finally link a second Android or iPhone as a secondary device instead of burning a whole new number on it. Up to five linked devices, all in sync.
Automatic key verification is live. No more meeting up to compare safety numbers like it's 2014. Signal now keeps a transparent ledger of public keys, and your app checks it for you. Green check, done.
The number was always the weakest link. Watch that space.

we will be watching this with great interest
The man who built CentOS and Rocky Linux is now trying to do for AI what open source did for operating systems.
Gregory Kurtzer just launched OpenWALDO, a transparent AI training dataset containing 167 billion tokens sourced from government records, academic papers, mailing lists, and public domain literature.
- Every token is traceable
- Every source is documented
- Every license is accounted for
- No rare books harmed in the process
Kurtzer's pitch is simple: "Linux didn't win by being certified safe. It won by being inspectable, forkable, and community validated."
He thinks the same logic applies to AI.
A lab or company can take OpenWALDO's corpus, verify its sources, add their own proprietary data on top, and ship a model with a clean, auditable lineage.
That is something no one building on (unethically) scraped internet data can offer today.
The project is funded by CIQ, Kurtzer's company behind Rocky Linux, and is looking for contributors.
The open source world built the internet's infrastructure once before. There is no reason it cannot do it again, this time for AI.
I am rooting for OpenWALDO.

‼️ BREAKING: Anthropic is expected to tell investors its total addressable market exceeds $30 TRILLION — topping SpaceX's record $28.5T, per WSJ.
For scale: the 191 tech companies in the S&P 1500 booked $2.4 trillion in revenue last year. Anthropic's Q2 revenue was $11.6 billion.

From Apple corporate to startup life in Silicon Valley during the bubble, the journey in tech has been wild. Remembering ripping MP3s off CDs for early audio streaming competitors feels like another lifetime! #TechHistory #SiliconValley

Subscription models worsened data ownership concerns. We're in a massive sovereignty movement, akin to the 1883 westward expansion. Binary Ranch offers a self-sovereign alternative to current 'rented land' digital models. #DataSovereignty #DigitalOwnership #BinaryRanch

Starting at the top of the hour I'll be going live with @binaryranch to talk about what they are shipping on @openhome and for a live unboxing of a dev kit!
Can't wait to see what they're cooking.
Drop by and say hello!

Why did Sarah Connor put her phone in a chip bag?
To stop tracking.
With its metallic lining, it worked as a Faraday bag, blocking wireless signals.
Faraday bags are a practical privacy tool everyone should know about.
Also helpful for escaping Terminators.

Tonight at 8pm Central, we're going live with something we've been building.
Meet Segundo. The translation layer between the person who owns the ranch and the machines that run it.
Built with @openhome, @NousResearch, and @nextclouders. Sovereign AI for people who refuse to be the product.
Every ranch needs a Segundo.
