@charliekirk’s death is an assault on free speech. He fought for open debate, and enemies of truth hated him for it.
Free expression is under attack worldwide. Once free speech is lost, every other freedom soon follows. We must continue Charlie’s mission to defend it✉️

I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating.
Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers.
What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control.
Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU).
Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy.
A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast — while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms — and allowed them to be taken away.
We’ve been fed a lie.
We’ve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech.
By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction — moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological.
So no, I’m not going to celebrate today. I’m running out of time. We are running out of time.

Today, the European Union nearly banned your right to privacy. It was set to vote on a law that would force apps to scan every private message, turning everyone’s phone into a spying tool.
France led the push for this authoritarian law. Both former and current Interior Ministers, Bruno Retailleau and Laurent Nuñez, supported it. Last March, they declared that police should see French citizens’ private messages (more info here). The Republicans and Macron’s Renaissance group voted for it.
Such measures are supposed to “fight crime”, but their real target is regular people. It wouldn’t stop criminals — they could just use VPNs or special websites to hide. Officials’ and police messages wouldn’t be scanned either, since the law conveniently exempts them from surveillance. Only YOU — ordinary citizens — would face the danger of your private messages and photos being compromised.
Today, we defended privacy: Germany’s sudden stand saved our rights. But freedoms are still threatened. While French leaders push for total access to private messages, the basic rights of French people — and all Europeans — remain in danger.

Stack Overflow is not dead, a powerful comeback
They recently launched Stack Overflow AI, where you can ask code questions and get complete, well-explained answers instantly
At first glance, it may look similar to ChatGPT or other AI tools, but the key difference is that it is built on a huge knowledge base of developers that Stack Overflow has been collecting for years

+ I actually tested LibreWolf browser (https://librewolf.net/) today,
If you are looking for a Firefox fork that does not have telemetry, this is a good option...
- I personally prefer Chromium but many people do not like it, you can consider it as an option.
This browser is open source and secure and is also available for a variety of operating systems.

China has launched a new monster again: Qwen3-Max is now available on Qwen Chat — and the best part is that it’s free to use.
This powerful model has trillions of parameters from Alibaba. It is very skilled at programming and performing other tasks, and its quality is not inferior to paid neural networks:
— It outperforms Claude Opus 4 and DeepSeek-V3 in programming;
— It understands and explains even the most complex Python code;
— Its Thinking version is faster than competitors and is capable of deep thinking.

When your application works with external services like APIs or microservices, it can be difficult and cumbersome to test without actually connecting. nock is a Node.js library that lets you simulate these requests and return the desired response without going online. This means that testing becomes predictable and free of the overhead of paid APIs.
With nock, you can test all sorts of scenarios: correct response, error, timeout, or even a delay of a few seconds! With it, you can test everything and make sure your application works even under strange conditions.
The documentation is all in one page:

There’s a new tool called React Onchain that lets you put your entire front-end app directly on the blockchain! That means you can even put your index.html and your React or Vue code on the chain without a server, without a host, and for a few cents. As a result, your app stays online forever, no one can tamper with it or censor it, and you don’t have to worry about hosting renewals or server outages anymore.

🔥 Gemini 3 is released in Google Artificial Intelligence Studio and GROK 4.1 on all platforms for free!
💢 Simultaneously with the release of GROK 4.1, Google also released Gemini 3 Pro in the Google Artificial Intelligence Studio.
💢 GROK 4.1 is claimed to be higher than all other models in analytical tests.
💢 Gemini 3 Pro is stronger than other models in all factors, except coding which is second or third.
💢 I tested the pair, they are extremely smart! They are similar to ChatGPT5 pro, except that they are free.
