What's going on with PHP?
Just to add: there was an embargo on releasing the patch and information about the patch, but some website or something broke the embargo.
That meant that malicious people could read what the patch was doing and understand how to exploit the issue/bug.
Edit: all the details are here: https://thephp.foundation/blog/2026/10/21/todays-php-security-release-and-how-were-strengthening-php-security/

Obviously these aren't hacked as per the article

Jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny dead, prison service says
I would really recommend the documentary Navalny:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navalny_(film)
I knew almost nothing about the guy prior to watching it, and what happens to him is fascinating. He's not perfect but I do believe what he says and he really wanted a better Russia. The balls on this guy!!

'I saw one terrorist standing by a bed pleading 'no, no,' I killed him with four bullets'

From the article / post: " The soldier who fired the shots describes entering the home and encountering only one unarmed Palestinian, gesturing and saying, 'No, no.' "
He openly admits to shooting an unarmed Palestinian man.

Landlords quitting “in droves” since Renters’ Rights Act
Hahaha! Good. That gets rid of the shit landlords. The changes aren't even that dramatic. You can't get rid of a tenant if they haven't done anything wrong, is one of the new changes. If that makes a landlord "quit" then good riddance

new funding for a confidential service to provide prevention therapy to potential offenders before they commit that horrid act against a child.
THIS.
I would recommend watching "Louis Theroux - Among the sex offenders" to get a better understanding of the lack of treatment available for people who don't want to offend but feel compelled. Some of them are crying out for treatment!

Trump orders US government to call AI ‘Super Intelligence’
😂 Some of this sounds like a child wrote it (emphasis mine):
USHERING IN SUPER INTELLIGENCE: ... the executive branch to recognize the continuously advancing technological frontier and the limitless promise it offers the American people
RECOGNIZING THE IMMENSE OPPORTUNITY OF SI: The United States is the world leader in Super Intelligence...
Well you would be given that no one else calls it that.
But also, have you heard of Qwen? Last time I checked it was as good if not better than American models! (I admit I could be wrong about that now as I haven't checked benchmarks in a few months now)

So that's what a cokehead is
I used to find these kind of stories funny, but these days I just wonder how desperate must someone be to do this.
What's going on in their life that they've ended up doing this and their next stop is prison?

Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun
I'm all for a European system like this, but the only downside I currently see is that using Wero wouldn't provide any protection in the same way that a credit card does, unless I missed that on the Wero website.
Give me the consumer protection of a credit card and I'll sign up to Wero or whoever!

Don’t Want to Spend Time With Your Kids? Train an AI Voice Model of Yourself to Read Them Bedtime Stories: Parent-child bonding time isn't so sacred that it can't be optimized with AI.

Exactly what I was thinking. It makes me think of the book Four Thousand Weeks, and Chasing Daylight.
The former is about the trap of productivity and thinking you can fit more into your day than you can. Hint: no matter how much you get done in your day, you will want to try to fit in more
And the latter I don't want to spoil but there was a quote along the lines of "Gene looked at all his colleagues who wanted more and thought, do they know when they will have enough?", again the idea that we will always want more.
Reading to your child and spending time with them is enough. Forget all the other distractions the world offers you.
