I have a hard time understanding the benefits of the keyring (e.g. GNOME keyring). I get the convenience parts - I don’t have to enter password for something every time I want to use it (e.g. mounted encrypted drive) and I don’t have to create a secret for some background stuff (applications keys). But the problem is, if I understand it correctly, that every application has the same access to my keyring, so, in theory, a malicious application can just read my Signal key and they can just read all my Signal messages right? Is there a point, then, in encrypting e.g. local database (like Signal) if the key to that database is readily available anyway?
Any input is welcome. thanks!
Imagine a lead developer in Berlin or a security researcher in Paris ending their Thursday with the most sophisticated coding partner ever built, only to wake up on Friday, June 12, 2026, to a 403 Forbidden error. This was no routine maintenance window or technical glitch; it was a geopolitical foreclosure. Overnight, Anthropic’s “Mythos-class” models, the revolutionary Claude Fable 5 and its internal progenitor, Mythos 5, were silenced across Europe by a direct order from the U.S. government. At PixelUnion, we have long been a voorvechter (advocate) for European technical autonomy, and we view this blackout as the ultimate “canary in the coal mine.” It is a brutal reminder that when you plug into someone else’s power grid, the owner can cut the current without warning.

Would you work more hours if your survival was on the line?
[blue, anxious]
I uh… I’d rather be paid more
[yellow gets up from their chair, angrily pointing at blue]
That’s not what we asked

ADHDers might call this a “hyperfocus” or the kind of obsession which resembles a hobby. Some activity that you think about at work all day and have to tear yourself away from to do anything else. I know it sounds like addiction, and it can look like one, but it always passes. Creative people might call it a muse?
Over the next few weeks, anyone in the US can plead their case that Disney’s ABC should not be permitted to renew its broadcast licenses for the eight local television stations they own.
Just started playing Death Stranding and the main character has it! Although the game calls it aphenphosmphobia. And I’m not sure it’s a phobia, since it’s a very rational fear for him.
@til Today I learned that the word “gorilla” comes from Hanno the Navigator, who discovered a “tribe of hairy women” as he was sailing down the west coast of Africa, whom his local guides called the “gorillai”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanno_the_Navigator#Gorillai
I’m not trying to be disrespectful to mosques in any way, and yes, I know they’re not allowed to use pictures so they resort to geometrical patterns. But still, when I look at images like this, something just feels ’off’ – much like it does when you look at a haunted house. It just feels sort of otherworldly and unsettling to me. And the feeling is baked in to the visuals. It does not feel like it comes from a human world.
A federal judge who was disciplined after an investigation found that she had sex with a police officer in her chambers and then lied about it wrote a letter to a former law clerk apologizing for her “harmful, offensive, and unprofessional behavior.”
FIFA on Friday blamed the empty seats during the World Cup match between South Korea and the Czech Republic in Guadalajara on fans who watched from the concourses.
I see people sharing links to peertube, youtube, streamable, imgur, and other sites in communities in order to share videos. For the non-federated ones, it’s understandable if there is no option, but for content creators, is it possible to share a video directly from peertube into a community?
