Linux is suddenly booming in Europe. April 2024, Linux had a small 2.84% slice of the desktop market in Europe. Fast forward to July 2025, and that share has jumped to an impressive 5.21%. That’s a massive 83.45% increase in just over a year.
When Windows 10 support ends, hundreds of millions of computers won’t get vital security updates. Instead of buying new hardware, people are choosing a different path.

Livestream of Black Sabbath and Ozzy farewell concert. "Paranoid, circa 1970"
🎶 Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours;
Think of all the great things we would do.
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way. 🎶 "Mary Hopkins, circa 1968)

« Comparer Jean-Noël #Barrot à un Henry Kissinger ou à un Sergueï #Lavrov, c’est cruel, tant l’un incarne ce qu’est un diplomate et l’autre ce que la #diplomatie ne devrait jamais devenir. Kissinger, disparu en 2023, restera comme un maître des rapports de force, un homme qui savait lire le monde, anticiper ses soubresauts, et bâtir des équilibres durables avec un mélange d’intelligence froide et de cynisme assumé. Lavrov, que l’on peut aimer ou détester, c’est la constance, la redoutable efficacité du professionnel qui domine la scène internationale depuis plus de vingt ans, sans jamais perdre son sang-froid ni son cap.Et puis il y a Jean-Noël Barrot : l’anti-diplomate par excellence. Agressif là où il faudrait être subtil, agité là où il faudrait peser ses mots, il aligne des déclarations qui sont systématiquement l’exact inverse de la réalité, comme si sa boussole était déréglée au point de toujours pointer le mauvais nord. Peut-être est-ce cela qui l’exaspère tant : de sentir confusément qu’il parle pour ne rien dire, qu’il gesticule sans rien obtenir — alors les yeux s’exorbitent, les traits se contractent, la nervosité éclate au grand jour. Il ne négocie pas : il tempête, il ne convainc pas : il agresse. Le tout au service d’une diplomatie française devenue transparente, voire ridicule, sur les grandes scènes internationales.
Quant à Mark #Rutte, secrétaire général de l’ #OTAN, ses sarcasmes sur la longévité de Lavrov trahissent surtout une gêne : il sait bien qu’en face de lui, Lavrov a des décennies de métier que lui-même ou ses alliés ne pourront jamais rattraper. Et Kaja #Kallas, à la tête de la diplomatie européenne, complète ce tableau d’ #amateurisme : des postures binaires, des slogans vides, aucune profondeur, aucune vision, rien que des leçons creuses données au monde, dont personne ne se soucie.
Voici la diplomatie occidentale : des figurants ignares et nerveux. »

The team behind Trump's World Liberty Financial project has proposed lifting restrictions on the WLFI "governance token" to make it tradeable. I predicted shortly after its launch that if Trump succeeded in gutting the SEC, he would do this.
This would lift the substantial restrictions on the token (non-US or accredited investors only, locked tokens with no secondary sales) that were aimed at sidestepping attention from the previous SEC, and could be enormously lucrative for Trump.

We built a thing! I spent the past few months building Trusted Signatures, a SaaS product that makes it easy to provide durable signed PDFs at scale.
This makes it easy to prove documents came from who they’re supposed to, unaltered.
Perfect for building secure workflows for finance, legal, or compliance — or if you’ve ever wanted a programmable signature API you can actually trust.

Yeah, DocuSign has a bunch of challenges, sender authentication being one. Another is that after everyone has signed, it signs the PDF with its own certificate, which can tell you if the document was modified but not where it came from.
We're looking at solving problems like this as a supply chain issue; it turns out there's a lot of fraud involving doctored PDFs.
For example, if someone sends you an invoice against a valid PO, but they've put in their own account for payment, you're out the money. But if you only accept signed PDFs, you (or better: your systems) can immediately validate that the invoice actually came from the correct source, unmodified.
Another common problem area is real estate fraud: documents pour in from all over the place (appraisals, inspections, bank statements) and people try to put forward fraudulent ones all the time. If they were signed, then the risk of fraud drops precipitously, and even if there is fraud, the senders cannot repudiate the documents and are still on the hook.
We make it so cheap (our price per PDF quickly approach $0.001 per PDF) that there's no reason not to sign everything your organization sends, and to require the companies sending you PDFs to sign theirs.
Avoiding a single loss or lawsuit will cover the cost a thousandfold.

"‘Why don’t they stay in France?’
Most refugees head for a country where there is some link of language, family or community. North Africans stay in France because they have some French. Refugees from what were once UK colonies often have English as a second language."

There is so much that is wrong in what is said about immigration. Is there any way to get to the truth?Steve Marshall (Kent and Surrey Bylines)
Surely the language by itself is at best one factor and not a particularly strong one? Approximately zero refugees from the global south have any pre-existing knowledge of German, Hungarian, or Swedish, etc.
