we published a new About page on our website titled "The MNT Difference". it illustrates the core ideas behind what we do. i hope that it'll also serve as a reference point in case you want to explain MNT to others (if you're a user, journalist, or need authorization from your boss to buy etc): https://mntre.com/about.html

I'm proud our co-ops have a history of courage on this front.




I think this video is actually TOO optimistic about South Korea. As ugly a picture as this paints the truth is actually WORSE.

The Wikimedia Foundation, which owns Wikipedia, says its bandwidth costs have gone up 50% since Jan 2024 — a rise they attribute to AI crawlers.

AI companies are killing the open web by stealing visitors from the sources of information and making them pay for the privilege



Research will move elsewhere but will never fully recover I fear. There is a cost to churn.

Some major upgrades have arrived for Proton Drive and Docs.

https://news.itsfoss.com/proton-drive-docs-update/

in reply to It's FOSS

For this year they promised to publish an SDK to speed up Linux development. This last update states “Over the next few months, we’ll enhance the app further by adding more new features and releasing the Software Development Kit (SDK) that the new macOS app is based on, which we anticipate will serve as the basis for a highly requested Linux app.” So fingers crossed
in reply to It's FOSS

I read the headline, and stopped reading. #Proton continues to suck on #Linux, still prefers privacy invasive operation systems.

I consider Proton's focus on privacy as pure marketing, as long as the focus is Windows, which wants to make a screenshot of the desktop, your mails, your docs every few seconds and upload it to OpenAI. Your encrypted mails become publicly readable, and maybe the template for mails written by Copilot.

While this is a good result for Wisconsin, the fact that judicial races are so partisanly politicized is not good for democracy. (Of course, the same could be said of the fact that judges are elected to begin with, IMO.)

cloudflare caused a fun bug for april fool's day! 🐪

due to an overly proactive filter rule intended to block a vulnerability in apache camel, cloudflare's WAF policy overzealously blocked innocent URLs containing the word "camel". this meant that certain packages could no longer be installed from NPM, some stackoverflow pages with "camel" in the title could not be loaded, etc.

cloudflare incident: https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/gshczn1wxh74
NPM issue: https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/8203

this isn't the first time cloudflare has caused an issue with NPM, either (although this one is really NPM's fault): https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/836#issuecomment-587019096

Coalition may rethink rules that push car-makers to create cheaper EVs and hybrids for Australians


Opposition says Labor’s national vehicle emission standard is ‘poorly designed’, despite data showing uptick in green vehicle sales.

...More than 120 electric vehicles are now available in Australia as the new laws upend the nation’s status as a “dumping ground” for big, polluting cars. Prior to January Australia was the only OECD country without a vehicle emission standard.

The obsession with big cars is not only fuelling the climate crisis, it is making roads deadlier and adding to traffic congestion. And there are other costs – Australians spend on average almost $100 a week on fuel.. .



My heart is heavy as 10,000 government health workers, from the CDC to the FDA to the NIH, learned today that they have been laid off. You served your country selflessly and well, enduring much derision and receiving little praise—only to be met with insult and betrayal. I stand in solidarity with you during this difficult time.


These updates are no joke 🃏
🦀 Arti 1.4.2 is released: RPC is now officially stable, and ready for testing.

Softcult is my new hype. Self-described "Riotgaze", I can't recommend this band
enough. Their music is sonically and lyrically powerful, and self-engineered and
-produced 💜💜

Watch them an Audiotree Live here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoUN8JKs4OE

Listen to them on Bandcamp here: https://softcult.bandcamp.com/



CW for song: lyrical themes of trauma and SA, swearing

after a year of stewing in my brain, our new song SUFFER PUPPET is out today! please join us in this electro-goth-pop danse macabre if you fancy. the words are sharp, vibe is weird yet empowering, production infused with hardstyle and techno... it's kinda messed up but a good time. 🧵 ✂️ @ritualdust
