U.S. national debt crosses $37 trillion for the first time in history amid rising fiscal pressures
Head of U.S. rates strategy at TD Securities, Gennadiy Goldberg, said that the crux of the $37 trillion problem is that no one knows at what level the debt becomes unsustainable. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged that the U.S. government has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.
Goldberg agrees with Bessent’s argument but states that the U.S. also does not tax much compared to both the size of the country’s GDP and government outlays. He believes that either taxes have to go up, spending has to come down, or some combination of the two, but warned that it’s very complicated to figure out.
The White House said on June 7 that the GOP tax bill significantly improves the country’s fiscal trajectory by including $1.7 trillion in mandatory savings, while Trump’s tax cuts will spur economic growth. Democrats have pointed to analyses showing the bill’s tax cuts will benefit wealthier Americans far more than low- and middle-income workers while also adding to the national debt.

Looking for Privacy-Oriented Open-Source Android Browsers
Looking for Privacy-Oriented Open-Source Android Browsers
I'm looking for a privacy-focused, open-source Android browser. Here are some options I've found:
- IronFox
- recommended by LibreWolf
- Fennec
- no repo
- Waterfox
- Vanadium
- only available on GrapheneOS
- better security
- iceraven
- most stars
- lemmy.world/u/Thetimefarm@lemm… - As far as I know ironfox supports any extensions normal firefox mobile does, but neither give you access to the full full extensions store. Iceraven is the only mobile browser I know of that lets you use all the extensions that you can on desktop firefox.
- bromite
- no longer maintained
- Bromite has a fingerprint randomization and Vanadium doesn't. But Vanadium has better security if you use Graphene. So yeah, for privacy Bromite might be better
- cromite
- Bromite fork
- brave
- controversial
- duckduckgo
Is there any other browser out there that fits this criteria? Is there an even better choice? I’m particularly interested in ones that focus on privacy.
UPDATE: iceraven vs ironfox
reddit.com/r/browsers/comments…
I use both! Ironfox is hardened to improve security as best as possible for a gecko based android browser and focuses mainly on preventing fingerprinting, similar to mullvad's browser. Because of these extra privacy protections some websites will be more prone to break or render goofy on ironfox, but luckily I haven't ran into that issue yet.Iceraven just strips out mozilla's tracking and adds tons of extra extensions and customizability, but doesn't include the extra security hardening or fingerprint protection like ironfox does.
Both devs are very good at keeping up with releases imo.
So if you really need airtight fingerprint prevention, or want extra security hardening, I'd go with ironfox. Also just a note, even with ironfox's hardening, it's still not as secure as a chromium based browser. Some people have very strong opinions on the gecko vs chromium security debate so I'm just pointing that out as a disclaimer. If you're gonna be treading into websites where there's a significant risk of picking up something nefarious in the background, stick with a chromium based browser for those sites as a precaution. Just my 2 cents.
EDIT:
in terms of popularity, privacy and functionality I guess the best choices are iceraven (based on firefox) as it has most stars on github and cromite (based on chromium) as brave is controversial
Solved Questions
I know that Brave is a bit controversial, but If Brave does something behind our backs wouldn’t we be able to know it since all the source code is out there? If it has some features we don’t like can’t we simply modify the source code?
@slackness
re: open source In theory: yes. In practice: maybe. It’ll probably eventually be caught by some researcher but unlike popular belief all open source code bases are not constantly being audited by the community. A random person can’t just read Brave source code for all platforms and accurately gauge if they’re doing something nefarious. It is very easy to hide stuff in code or misuse a protocol for evil purposes, etc.You can modify the source code but as evident by the fact that there’s no Brave fork with crypto removed (there was one but their branding was too similar to Brave’s so they got sued), it’s not an easy feat to maintain that.
few questions
- What is the difference between IronFox, Fennec, Waterfox and iceraven?
As far as I know ironfox supports any extensions normal firefox mobile does, but neither give you access to the full full extensions store. Iceraven is the only mobile browser I know of that lets you use all the extensions that you can on desktop firefox.

France quietly deployed 100,000+ Linux machines in their police force - GendBuntu is a silent EU tech success story
I wanted to spotlight a quietly massive success story in European digital sovereignty: GendBuntu - France’s custom Ubuntu distribution used by the National Gendarmerie.
The GendBuntu project derives from Microsoft's decision to end the development of Windows XP Back in 2005, France’s Gendarmerie began switching from Microsoft products to open-source software - starting with OpenOffice. Fast forward to 2024, and GendBuntu(Linux) is now running on 97% of their workstations (over 103,000 computers!).
France has shown what’s possible when a government actually backs open-source, in-house, and EU-grown solutions.
More countries should follow suit.

BitTorrent Pirate Gets 5 Years in Prison, €10,000 Fine, For Decade-Old Offenses
Authorities in Greece are making good on their promise to crack down and deter use of pirate sites and services. Arrests during a significant action to disrupt pirate IPTV last month are now followed by news of an immediate five-year prison sentence and a €10,000 fine. The 59-year-old defendant was reportedly found guilty of running a private torrent site; P2Planet.net. Curiously, the site announced its closure over a decade ago, making the offenses even older than that.

Trump extends TikTok ban deadline for a third time, without clear legal basis
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order to keep TikTok running in the U.S. for another 90 days to give his administration more time to broker a deal to bring the social media platform under American ownership.
Trump disclosed the executive order on the Truth Social platform Thursday morning.
“He’s making an extension so we can get this deal done,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Thursday. “It’s wildly popular. He also wants to protect Americans’ data and privacy concerns on this app. And he believes we can do both at the same time.”

जान से मारने की धमकी: हिमाचल के डिप्टी सीएम और विधायक को सोशल मीडिया पर मिली धमकी, FIR दर्ज
Himachal News: हिमाचल प्रदेश के डिप्टी सीएम मुकेश अग्निहोत्री और कांग्रेस विधायक राकेश कालिया को जान से मारने की धमकी मिलने से सनसनी फैल गई। यह धमकी सोशल मीडिया के जरिए दी गई। ऊना जिले के हरोली थाने में शिकायत दर्ज होने के बाद पुलिस ने जांच शुरू कर दी। इस घटना ने स्थानीय लोगों और राजनीतिक हलकों में हड़कंप मचा दिया। दोनों नेताओं के समर्थक उनकी सुरक्षा को लेकर चिंतित हैं।
धमकी का खुलासा
19 जून 2025 को हरोली निवासी अरुण कुमार ने पुलिस को शिकायत दी। उनके मुताबिक, एक फेसबुक पोस्ट में गैंगस्टर अमरीश राणा की गिरफ्तारी का जिक्र था। इस पर दिलीप कुमार नाम के यूजर ने लिखा, “पब्लिक दोबारा तलवार की मांग कर रही है।” रणदीप ठाकुर नाम के यूजर ने सवाल किया, तो शार्प शूटर नबाई वाला ने जवाब दिया, “वो डिप्टी और विधायक राकेश कालिया ही जाने।” इस पोस्ट को जान से मारने की धमकी मानते हुए पुलिस ने केस दर्ज किया। जांच में यह पता लगाया जा रहा है कि धमकी देने वाले का अमरीश राणा से क्या संबंध है।
अमरीश राणा का मामला
अमरीश राणा को 25 साल जेल में बिताने के बाद हाल ही में रिहा किया गया था। लेकिन जेल से बाहर आते ही वह माइनिंग विवाद में फंस गया। दोबारा गिरफ्तारी के बाद यह जान से मारने की धमकी सामने आई। मुकेश अग्निहोत्री हरोली से पांच बार के विधायक और हिमाचल के पहले डिप्टी सीएम हैं। राकेश कालिया गगरेट से उपचुनाव जीतकर विधायक बने हैं। दोनों ऊना जिले से हैं, जिससे यह मामला और गंभीर हो गया है। हिमाचल प्रदेश पुलिस ने जांच तेज कर दी है।
पुलिस की कार्रवाई
हरोली थाना पुलिस ने अज्ञात व्यक्तियों के खिलाफ मामला दर्ज किया। सोशल मीडिया पोस्ट की जांच के लिए साइबर सेल की मदद ली जा रही है। पुलिस यह पता लगाने में जुटी है कि धमकी देने वाले का मकसद क्या था। इस जान से मारने की धमकी ने राजनीतिक माहौल को गरमा दिया है। स्थानीय लोग और समर्थक नेताओं की सुरक्षा के लिए तुरंत कदम उठाने की मांग कर रहे हैं।

ChatGPT's Impact On Our Brains According to an MIT Study
Does ChatGPT harm critical thinking abilities? A new study from researchers at MIT’s Media Lab has returned some concerning results.The study divided 54 subjects—18 to 39 year-olds from the Boston area—into three groups, and asked them to write several SAT essays using OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s search engine, and nothing at all, respectively. Researchers used an EEG to record the writers’ brain activity across 32 regions, and found that of the three groups, ChatGPT users had the lowest brain engagement and “consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels.” Over the course of several months, ChatGPT users got lazier with each subsequent essay, often resorting to copy-and-paste by the end of the study.
The paper suggests that the usage of LLMs could actually harm learning, especially for younger users. The paper has not yet been peer reviewed, and its sample size is relatively small. But its paper’s main author Nataliya Kosmyna felt it was important to release the findings to elevate concerns that as society increasingly relies upon LLMs for immediate convenience, long-term brain development may be sacrificed in the process.
“What really motivated me to put it out now before waiting for a full peer review is that I am afraid in 6-8 months, there will be some policymaker who decides, ‘let’s do GPT kindergarten.’ I think that would be absolutely bad and detrimental,” she says. “Developing brains are at the highest risk.”

Security Focused Daily Driving Distros?
I have been tossing around the idea of a little distro hopping. I'm an avid mint fan. It was my first jump from windows. I became quite familiar with mint but felt the want to branch out and went down the rabbit hole (oh my lanta). I like stability and cleanliness. Security by default. Least mental load possible long-term.
I'm currently testing out NIXos. Next will be VanillaOS, 3rd will be Fedora Silverblue. Anyone have good recommendations? Easy backups, stability, security first posture, least maintenance and memory load. I hate getting scattered in symlinks, scripts, and filesystem placing.
I've tried going full custom Linux mint. But app armour and Firejail constantly conflict or require manual updating and tweaking to keep up to date with app installs, or general life cycle updates.
The most intriguing aspect if NIXos was that basically the entire configurable system was confined to two files. Infinitely reproducable. I tend to swap laptops or hardware relatively often being on the go or getting good tech deals. Having your entire system in two files essentially is awesome.
What are some pros and cons of different distros? What do you daily drive as a power user? Give me your thoughts and recommendations! Thanks.
like this
It depends on what you mean by "secure". I'm going to assume that your threat model is "I want to minimize the damage caused by any generic malware". If you would like tips on some other threat model, I would be happy to assist you.
Generally, I would recommend fedora secureblue or silverblue. It works very well "out of the box", doesn't require much maintenance, and it has relatively good security defaults.
I wouldn't call NIXos inherently "secure", because it doesn't have nearly as many security benefits compared to more security-focused distros. Immutability doesn't really help much in this context because all it's doing is making your root read-only. In most cases, an attacker getting access to your home directory is just as bad as them having root access. Security aside, if NIXos suits your other needs then I encourage you to keep using it.
Qubes is probably overkill. I would only recommend using it if your threat model depends on it. It offers very good sandboxing/compartmentalization, but it can be tricky to use and is resource-intensive. Personally, I don't think it has the best "out of the box experience" and most of its benefits can be replicated (with much effort) on a distro like gentoo or arch.
Gentoo and Arch have the highest potential to become the "most secure" because they are the most customizable but they require a lot more maintenance since you essentially have to learn how to build your system from the ground up.
In the end, I don't think the distro matters too much because as long as you can tweak the distro to fit your needs (or threat model), you will eventually end up with your own perfect mix of usability and security. You can start hardening your system by: configuring the firewall (I recommend ufw), proper sandboxing (I recommend using flatpaks or writing your own bubblewrap scripts), and maybe running untrusted processes in a virtual machine (I recommend qemu/virt-manager). For more advanced security, I would highly recommend looking into Mandatory Access Control (Fedora enables SELinux by default but you can tailor the reference policy to be VERY strict).
Once again, If you have anything more specific in mind in regards to security, I'll be happy to elaborate 😁

Waymo robotaxi stopped illegally, passenger opened door and severely injured cyclist, lawsuit claims
A woman severely hurt in a bicycle crash with a Waymo robotaxi is suing the company, claiming one of its vehicles pulled over in a no-stopping zone next to a bike lane, and a passenger opened a door into her path — despite the car’s “Safe Exit” system touted by the Mountain View company as protection for passing cyclists.Waymo in online marketing materials says its robotaxi Safe Exit sensor and warning systems provide departing passengers with “explicit audio and visual alerts that inform them when a cyclist or other road user is approaching as they exit the car.” The company cites San Francisco’s transit agency in noting that collisions between cyclists and vehicle doors — incidents known as “doorings” — are the city’s second most common collisions causing death or injury.
The passengers from the robotaxi whose door hit Hanke said at the scene that no alert had been given before one of them opened the door into the bike lane, Hanke said. The lawsuit alleged “a malfunction, failure to engage, or design flaw” in the alert system.

Has anyone used Preveil? How is it? Is there any other services similar to it?
Recently, I came across Preveil, which is a service that can provide end-to-end encryption to either your Outlook, Gmail, or Apple Mail email accounts. It’s free, but if you want more storage, obviously, you will need to pay.
It looks very interesting as this could get others to use end-to-end encryption for the emails without having to move to another provider. However, I haven’t really seen any reviews (besides this one from PC Mag) or others expressing their experience with Preveil, so I am unsure if it’s a good service to use or recommend.
Has anyone used it or is familiar with Preveil? Does anyone know if there are similar services to Preveil, preferably those that are open source?
