  Enshitification at scale – Anthropic appears to be introducing an identity verification process for Claude. According to the FAQ, this is handled by Persona, a service provider with links to Peter Thiel, and may require official photo ID as well as a live selfie: https://support.claude.com/en/articles/14328960-identity-verification-on-claude #Enshitification #Anthropic #Claude #Persona #PeterThiel #Privacy

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@hugovk/115333348041057866 Thanks @hugovk! I haven’t been this excited about a #Python release in a long time. I’m curious to see how some of our projects will fare with free-threaded Python: https://cusy.io/en/blog/free-threaded-python-hit-or-miss.html

  RE: https://publicidentity.net/@jezdez/116228170902695495 Thank you so much for all your hard work over the years, Jannis. And even if @pyOpenSci is currently struggling with AI slop themselves, they might still be able to support some scientific Python projects.

  Social media algorithms prioritize right-wing content and influence the political views and behavior of real users.

  Have you had your identity verified on LinkedIn to get the blue tick? If so, I’m afraid I have to tell you that your passport, ID and biometric data are now stored with ‘Persona Identities’, a company funded by Peter Thiel, which has already been cross-referenced with numerous US government databases. This data is shared with any US authorities at their discretion. https://thelocalstack.eu/posts/linkedin-identity-verification-privacy/ #LinkedIn #Privacy

  Trump announces 10% punitive tariffs from 1 February 2026 against Germany, among others – as leverage in the Greenland dispute. From 1 June, the tariff will rise to 25%. This serves as a reminder that dependence makes us vulnerable to blackmail. It is time to detach ourselves from the United States as quickly as possible – especially digitally: away from big tech, US platforms and US offices. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/jan/17/hands-off-greenland-protests-denmark-us-donald-trump-...
