Unrelated to the content of the article, but what a wonderful site text.npr.org is. It looks like a slightly enhanced version of my iPhone's reader mode and it displays instantly, scrolling with no lag, stuttering, or dynamic loading of page elements.
I came across this years ago. It is pretty much the only news I will look at. They only update like 3 times a day too, so no incentive to keep coming back.
The Compuserve and Netscape ISP website husks also feature no-nonsense text-only news pages with 2000s-style renderings that are near-instant on any device.
68k.news also exists but has been broken for a long time. It's maintained by a retro computing youtuber who seems to have abandoned it or isn't paying attention to its brokenness.
i had a woman i met at a policy conference confide that many bad people made it through both the nazi period and the east german times -- there's a type of sadist who maliciously complies with the rules in any way they can to the detriment of others who i despise and saw much too much of in the policy context.
i haven't been there in a long time, but this hacker looking across the pond, it looks like germany has changed...
i worry too many hackers have not sufficiently studied history.
Speaking of which, I feel like ICE's next move is to start arresting people for not turning in their friends, neighbors, and coworkers. We know they're planning for it at least.

I wish more of the web were like this.
Like text.npr.org - there is also a CNN "lite" version too: https://lite.cnn.com/
I agree whole heartedly I wish more of the web were like this.
Bring back WML sites?
note: WML/WAL was a way to enable browsing a web-like thing on low powered devices.
For a bit of time, popular websites were available in two variants, wml and html (more info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Application_Protocol)
See too: CBC lite[0]

And no doom scrolling. There is a bottom of the page and no Next Page button.

a friend found it when fucking around with a DNS enumeration tool a while back.
lite.cnn.com is also useful on slow connections

Oath. Fantastic.
Man, find of the day. This is such an refined way of viewing the news (and then stopping and going outside).
The Germans knew to identify ex Stasi and their informants so they know who to beware of.
They really are turning into something like the Stasi:

And they're still being identified, decades later and still getting into trouble for it which I love.

The real importance of this is archival. Who knows what would have been burned and shredded to protect the masked brutes.
The link is https://icepi.cx/ but they are currently fighting a domain takedown.

Good. Let them have a taste of their own medicine.
Dozens of the names, at least, correspond to J6 individuals.
The US has no actual national security at moment.
