Rest in Power, Karin. 🕊️
Admired for her frankness and humanity, she was a guiding light for the European hacker and cypherpunk community.

As an editor at Follow the Money for seven years, Karin Spaink transformed even the driest articles into “sparkling champagne” and played an important role in the early years of FTM’s international edition. On Friday, she passed away of her own will after living with multiple sclerosis for dec...

Of all the promises, that one was kept: we can observe it through the pocket-calculators. Seen from planet dyne however, the popcorn is always included! 🍿

Stay weird. Stay free.

Something is shifting. Under the radar, against the odds, a quiet rebellion is taking root. This issue is about the spaces in between: where privacy meets regulation, where decentralization starts being a toolkit, and where ordinary people remember that technology is a set of choices.

Our very own Zoe Romano shares her publication "The untapped potential of digital knitting as a counter-concept to fast fashion", born from conversations with practitioners who refuse to treat tech as neutral.

She explored knitting as a manufacturing vernacular, challenging mass production toward adaptability and transparent modes.

𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗶𝟬𝗿 𝟯.𝟬.𝟬 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲’𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗹𝗲𝘀.
If you use Shotcut, Kdenlive, Flowblade, Natron, or any FFmpeg-based tool, you’ve likely relied on frei0r effects without even knowing it.
https://frei0r.dyne.org/
The v3.0.0 release is a major under-the-hood upgrade that video producers will feel more than see:

✅ 𝗙𝗮𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘀
Fixes in pixs0r, kaleid0sc0pe, delay0r, and autotreshold mean less fear of segmentation faults mid-export.

✅ 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝘀
Clamping & bounds checking in curves, kaleid0sc0pe, and test_pat_G → no more wild values breaking your effect chain.

✅ 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁
Works correctly across all color formats frei0r supports, fewer “weird tint” surprises.

✅ 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 & 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗮𝘂𝗹a
Address sanitizer (ASAN) + automated tests = fewer regressions in future. Translation: long-term reliability for your NLE.

⚠️ Breaking change:
The README and build workflow have been modernized: if you compile frei0r yourself, check the new docs.

Open Call: Let's Stop Romanticizing the Old Internet
We hear it all the time: "the internet was better before." Before algorithms. Before platforms. Before whatever villain du jour.

But was it really? Was the "old internet" ever actually whole? Or were we just younger, with fewer responsibilities and a different set of blind spots?

Error 417 Expectation Failed is asking artists, curators, and collectives around the world to take a clear-eyed look at internet histories, not to mourn, but to ask: what do we actually want to build now?

This is an open call for projects that reject the longing for a mythic past and instead explore how we create protocols, networks, and shared conditions for an internet that works for more people.

Respond to net-nostalgia with error 406: Not Acceptable.

🔗 https://error417.expectation.fail/406/netstalgia-not-acceptable

Let's build forward, together.

Our open call for projects Error 406 [Netstalgia] Not Acceptable focuses on the notion of netstalgia: a selective and idealized remembering of earlier phases of the internet. We are looking for projects that reject the longing for a mythic “old internet” and confront the politics of netstalgia h...

You've probably seen the headlines: new laws requiring age verification on social media, messaging apps, even gaming platforms. The message is always the same: "We're doing this for the children."

And look, some dynes are parents too. We understand the fear behind these proposals. Kids face real risks online. But here's the thing: the solutions being rolled out don't actually match the problem.

What's being built is not just a safety feature. It's a new permission layer for the internet. Instead of accessing content unless something is blocked, we're moving toward a world where you have to prove something about yourself before the service even responds. And once that infrastructure exists, it rarely stays confined to age.

We can and must protect children, without turning the whole internet into a checkpoint. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀!

Jaromil wrote a thoughtful piece on this. It's worth reading if you've been following these debates.

Age verification turns the open internet into a permission system and pushes control away from families, schools, and users.
