Washington Killed an ISIS Commander in Nigeria, but Has More to Do in West Africa

Nigeria’s Christians are among the most persecuted in the world. They face threats from Muslim Fulani herdsmen who have raided villages and killed hundreds of believers. They also face threats from terror groups known around the world for their brutality, such as Islamic State (ISIS), against which a significant victory was recently achieved.

In a joint operation on May 16, U.S. and Nigerian…

November in Servo: monthly releases, context menus, parallel CSS parsing, and more!

Correction (2026-01-19)

An earlier version of this post said that Servo now has full support for ChaCha20-Poly1305, but this was incorrect. We had only landed the ‘importKey’ and ‘exportKey’ operations. The ‘encrypt’, ‘decrypt’, and ‘generateKey’ options landed in the following month.

Landing in Servo 0.0.3 and our November nightly builds, we now have context menus for links, images,…

Manchester Code Made Bits Behave

In the late 1940s—when computer engineers were grappling with unreliable hardware and noisy transmission environments—a team of engineers inside a modest lab at the University of Manchester, England, confronted a problem so fundamental that it threatened the viability of digital computing itself. Machines could generate bits, but they could not reliably read them back.

The inconsistent…

Why American Farmers Are Feeling the Pain of the Iran War

President Trump’s war on Iran has introduced Americans who haven’t previously followed farm policy to a rather niche topic: fertilizer. It’s estimated that half of global food production relies on synthetic nitrogen fertilizer. Gulf countries are major producers both of the finished product and of the natural gas that’s used to make it. And up to a third of the global fertilizer trade passes…

It’s Okay to Like Geese

Geese are the most talked-about new rock band in years. But thanks to a recent Wired article, they’re now facing a backlash — accused of being privileged, reactionary, and even a “psyop.” It’s everything that’s wrong with music discourse today.


Geese clearly appeal to a crowd who wants music to matter again. That’s good. And not a “psyop,” as Wired claims. (Emma McIntyre / Getty…

Souvenir de Gamer - Gryzor / Contra (1987)

Nous voilà une fois de plus dans la fin des années 80 pour un jeu qui me marqua durablement. Je l’ai connu comme Gryzor, son nom commercial européen mais on le connaît mondialement sour le nom Contra. (et même Probotector sur NES)

C’est Konami qui est le créateur de ce “Run and Gun” (qu’on pourrait traduire par Courir et Tirer). En Quelque sorte un mélange entre le jeu de plateforme et le…

Choose Class War, Not Boomer Resentment

The generational warfare promoted by centrists and the Right, who have long been desperate to cut and privatize Social Security, is a fool’s solution to what ails the system. Taxing the rich is the answer.


“Total boomer luxury communism” is the Right’s latest attempt to convince younger Americans to slash their own future benefits under the guise of sticking it to older generations.…

Am I the only one who sees extreme irony in this privacy community forum asking about installing “security” cameras again and again?

Cameras are a tool much like computers. Just because computers can be used to capture information on society en masse, does that mean we should advocate for unplugging entirely in the name of privacy?

It's Time to Take Down your Smart Cameras - Benn Jordan

I assume we here as privacy advocates have a general concern cameras are turning the physical world into a surveillance nightmare. For several other reasons outlined in these videos, these “security” cameras should never have been put up in the first place.

In Illinois, a Deluge of Corporate PAC Ads Sold Populism. Wait, What?

Tuesday’s Illinois election yielded unexpected headlines, like “Special-Interest Super PACs Underperform in Illinois” and “Progressive Juliana Stratton wins Illinois Democratic Senate primary race.” Billionaire-funded super PACs lost three out of five hotly contested races.

While this is welcome news for progressives, a closer look at early primaries reveals a mildly amusing but troubling…

Is Nellie Bowles The Worst Writer In America?

It is not difficult to find praise for Nellie Bowles, who writes a weekly column for The Free Press, a website owned by her wife, Bari Weiss. "If you don’t read ⁦Nellie Bowles every Friday, you are leading a sad, barren, and empty existence," says Free Press columnist Niall Ferguson. Conservative writer Caitlin Flanagan says that Bowles's columns "have the exact spirit of the 70's writers whom I…

The Nationwide Revolt Against Flock Safety Cameras

Len Phillips had just finished posting a yellow sign underneath the camera when an elderly man pulled up, exited his pickup truck, and shuffled over to take a look. “A.I. camera,” the sign read. “Your movements have just been logged into a private searchable database.” The man gazed up at the camera overhead, then back down. He paused. Then he went back to his truck and pulled out a chainsaw.
