So it seems the Zambian government does TLS interception for any site that is not Big Tech (I suppose that would break too many things). They serve a self-signed certificate for localhost. C'mon guys, at least make it look more legit.

To those app makers that provide an easily accessible APK, or better yet a PWA, thank you!

Apart from Assange getting his freedom it's a terrible outcome. Getting a guilty plea sets a clear precedent: whistleblowers deserve no protections and will be punished. An important check on state power has been eviscerated. In the end, the case against Assange was legally flimsy – first treason, then espionage despite him not being an American citizen – because it was ultimately based on revenge. The files he leaked exposed the US government as a liar, double-crosser of its allies, and war criminal. So the true purpose of the case was to destroy his life and intimidate all journalists from ever publishing unfavorable information again. And the inability for the media to hold government accountable is surely a foundation for tyranny.

Don't vote in the EU elections today. The candidate that you're voting for really has no power nor incentives to represent your interests, only you do. By not voting you reduce the legitimacy of the institution which increases your power to make decisions on a personal level.
