You are wondering if #Spring could run in a #WebAssembly engine like the one in your browser? The GraalVM team did it with Web Image.

You don't believe me? Check the related demo graalvm.github.io/graalvm-demo... and the Devoxx talk www.youtube.com/watch?v=uefc... !

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

"DHH referred The Register to a blog post he published last month, accusing "the last loonies on tech's woke island" of calling everyone "a nazi" as an excuse to do violence – this was in the weeks following the assassination of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk." -- FWRK wants to pay this cat.
