CORANG ARCH
This photo required a number of things to go right to get the sun flare below the arch.
It started with a 12km hike through some pretty overgrown trails. The next issue was the sun is only in the right position at sunset for about a month each year.
There is such a small gap between the bottom of the arch and the top of the hill opposite, so there was only a couple of minutes of the light like this.
Finally, the weather needed to be perfect with no cloud blocking the sun.

ICE is going after US citizens, not in some future, but today.
ICE is breaking US law, and as such, the American people may be fully within their rights to defend themselves against ICE in whatever ways a reasonable person would do so.

This bizarre schadenfreude and division into teams, completely disconnected from the reality of the underlying protocols, distributed systems, how things do or do not work together, that amounts to pure cheerleading is not helpful.
It is, in fact, the _opposite_ of helpful for any real work in this area. Whether you are trying to get people to move or working on improving the underlying infrastructure. It is, at the _absolute_ best, a distraction.
Musk’s crew of twentysomething goons is building out Trump's "Gold Card" visa, designed to give “high-level people” a “route to citizenship.”
Each card sells for $5 million and would replace the E.B.-5 visa program.

Israel has blocked humanitarian aid from entering Gaza since March 2025, leading to a worsening humanitarian crisis. The Israeli defense minister, Israel Katz, stated that no aid will be allowed in until Hamas returns hostages from the 7 October attacks. The situation in Gaza has resulted in the deaths of over 51,000 Palestinians since the conflict began, with more than 50% being women and children.

Her lede should be in an indictment. "In an unprecedented abuse of presidential power, Donald Trump is dismantling federal cryptocurrency oversight while building a sprawling family crypto empire worth billions."

in reply to GrapheneOS • • •You can see a comparison between the best case for each OS on a device where they're least behind at eylenburg.github.io/android_co…. This is for /e/OS:
> Security update speed (AOSP subset of ASB)
>
> 1-2 months, sometimes longer
> Full patches on fully supported devices
>
> Many months to over a year
It's far worse on most devices. That's if you have a device where they're least behind.
For example, even on a Pixel, you'll have many months of delays for High/Critical patches.

Gaël Duval, /e/OS and Murena have been misleading people about GrapheneOS for years making false claims about the usability, compatibility and audience for it to promote products and services sold by their for-profit Murena company. They've also participating in spreading fabricated stories about our team. They have directly amplified/spread harassment content from Kiwi Farms users.
