Announcing https://keepitfree.ai

Many things happened since August 26, 2026, when the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) at the US Department of the Treasury included us in their list of “Specially Designated Global Terrorists” (SDGT). This is just the beginning.

We have now created a dedicated space to document what has been unfolding since August 26, to empower our unpredictable, chaotic and magnificent solidarity network by keeping it up to date with the consequences of the US government designation and our responses.

This Month in KDE Linux: August 2026

blogs.kde.org/2026/08/31/this-month-in-kde-linux-august-2026

Welcome to this edition of This Month in KDE Linux, dedicated to KDE’s next-generation operating system.
Here’s how KDE Linux evolved in August:
Data safety
A major data safety project reached a state of usability!
First, Hadi Chokr transformed users’ home…

why is everything like this

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this.

Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how.

Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places: https://tuta.com/blog/google-gemini-ai-email

this piece of shit is trying to get his sister to submit to a mental exam during the case https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69520118/altman-v-altman/

Same playbook as when his AI convinces a teenager to kill himself, pull out the old "It's such a shame some people have mental problems 😔" card

Christ what a fucking monster

A/I chiude - Restare Umani https://keepitfree.ai/it/announcements/a/i-chiude-restare-umani/ #KeepItFree #AutisticiInventati

New press release from A/I calling it quits 💔

The day we discovered we had been designated a global terrorist organization, we promised that we would try to resist as long as this was possible, that we would not back down as long as we could see options to stand our ground. For years, we have proudly maintained and defended a free, privacy-friendly, autonomous and politically committed infrastructure. 

“Stay human” is not an empty phrase to us.

It means, above all, that we have a responsibility to protect our users, those who build the human networks we rely, and for the communities who flooded us with messages of support and solidarity.

We cannot engage in a fight or expose ourselves to manipulations that threaten the lives of these people and their loved ones, leaving them at the mercy of autocrats, fascists and agencies that take extra-legal courses of action. The possibility that our work may cause legal and financial consequences to those who are close to us - or even only have something to do with us - leaves us no choice.

A/I is shutting down. The Autistici/Inventati collective is shutting down and will soon discontinue all of the services we provide.

There is no easy way to announce or explain this

Every day we stayed online after August 26, 2026, has been a victory, but now we are forced to stop.

None of us holds eroic gestures and martyrs in high esteem, therefore we will demand no sacrifices. Not from us, not from anyone else. In this political climate, continuing to offer our services endangers our users and anyone who is part of our communities. In a world where allegations are disconnected from reality, we can only expect repression to be increasingly disproportionate. Under these circumstances, we are no longer able to maintain our original mission - offering secure and non-commercial digital tools.

These 25 years have been amazing. It’s been an “incredible ride”.

Now turn off your PCs, get out of your homes, struggle, hug each other and keep on smiling. We are stopping, but the Resistance and ideas do not stop. Stay human.

We will soon send instructions on how to back up the content of your blogs, mailboxes and websites, along with more technical recommendations. But keep in mind that, just as the autistici.org domain was made unreachable without previous notice, in the next few days we might suffer similar issues that we may not be able to predict.

@TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systems Btw nitter seems back

> UPDATE: Following legal advice, the Nitter project will continue. More details will be announced soon.

We're well into the process of converting the Messaging app included in GrapheneOS into a modern app. We'll be making a new release later today with a completely overhauled user interface written in Android Compose. We've made a massive amount of other improvements and bug fixes beyond that too.

We're also going to be overhauling or fully replacing the rest of the AOSP apps in the near future. AOSP Gallery is incredibly outdated and is being entirely replaced. AOSP Keyboard may be similar. We recently hired a bunch of new people and will be hiring more so our progress will be accelerating.

Wow is #XLibre a shit show. Almost as if someone setup LLM agents with an email domain and a mailserver and then told them to create github accounts and to write a fork of X.org, advertise, and defend it at all costs.

And people wonder why so many hate #AI...

Photos: a proposed replacement for Gwenview

pointieststick.com/2026/09/06/photos-a-proposed-replacement-for-gwenview

Gwenview has been KDE’s flagship image viewer for over 25 years. It works, it’s feature-packed, and it’s been modernized repeatedly. Gwenview has served generations of KDE users faithfully and well.
So… why build a replacement?
Well, over the years…
