Anubis is interesting - but it's breaking a lot of the RSS feeds I follow. Several sites I regularly read using text browsers are suddenly inaccessible. I get the urge to block AI scraper bots, but breaking basic web access doesn't feel like the right trade-off. #anubis #SysAdmin

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

If the analysis I’ve been reading over the past two days is correct, then the leverage the EU has in the tariff debacle is their extensive use of US services, many of them IT related.
