10 Times People Voluntarily Gave Up Their Freedom to Dictators
Let’s be honest: If history has taught us anything at all, it might just be that people love a strongman—until they don’t.

But instead of just annoying software updates, these […]

Redox’ relibc becomes a stable ABI
The Redox project has posted its usual monthly update, and this time, we’ve got a major milestone creeping within reach. Thanks to Anhad Singh for his amazing work on Dynamic Linking!
