The latest four headlines at Ars Technica, covering important things that need to be spoken about, but that are also FUCKING EXHAUSTING
I'm on the server floor of a "highly secure data center with 24/7/365 surveillance, direct access control and robust perimeter security". An actual duck just walked by. πŸ¦† The panic is absolutely glorious. I think this just became one of the highlights of my life.

Trump has announced the removal of the De Minimis Exception on orders under $800, effective August 29. In plain English, this means that any order you make from outside the U.S.A. will be subject to tariffs and fees starting on that date. We're talking 15% on Japanese items, 35% on Canadian goods, plus a $25 processing fee on every single order. I know. Not awesome. I wanted to give you a heads-up so you can get ahead of this. If you've been eyeing a new knife, a beautiful cutting board, or anything else on our site, I'd recommend placing your order before August 20 to avoid these extra charges. We’re staying optimistic that this situation will change again, and you can count on Knifewear to keep you in the loop. We’ll continue to ship to the U.S. and will do our very best to collect these fees at checkout to make sure your package gets to you as smoothly as possible.

Since I left Substack for beehiiv in January, I went from making a little bit of money to actually making a living as an independent journalist with my own publication. I didn’t need Substack’s Twitter-esque Notes feature or its recommendation network to grow; I used social networksβ€”mostly Blueskyβ€”to successfully promote my work. That personal engagement created, I believe, deeper relationships with my readers than passive subscriptions via an algorithm. Most importantly, I’ve remained committed to producing work that I’m proud of, and publishing it via a platform that doesn’t force me to compromise my values.
