Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from 24 February 2026 to 13 March 2026. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity is high through the initial time period, with a sharp drop on the morning of 28 February. The continued drop in connectivity aligns with a nation-scale internet blackout imposed by authorities after joint military strikes by the US and Israel. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 1% and 1%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red horizontal arrow labeled 'SHUTDOWN' indicating the disruption period, and the NetBlocks logo in the lower left corner with the Mapping Internet Freedom slogan.

⚠️ Update: #Iran's wartime internet blackout has entered its 14th day with connectivity still at 1% of ordinary levels after 312 hours.

As authentic voices are silenced and civilians are left without vital updates, a steady flow of regime-approved content fills the void.

What they are actually telling us is that they fired all the brass who were daring to inform them. Or that they don't listen to them at all ?

c'est un sujet passionnant, j'essaie de voir comment réaliser un système online open source qui soit "conservation friendly" pour les jeux multi (parce que c'est encore un autre problème de la conservation)

Et oui aussi pour les difficultés d'application. Toutes les œuvres diffusées en France sont concernées y compris produites à l'étranger, mais la bnf n'a pas les moyens ni l'intérêt d'aller déclencher des poursuites.

Oui pour les assets de dévelopement, mais ça ce n'est pas surprenant, tout comme les auteurs n'ont pas l'obligation de déposer toutes leurs notes et leurs brouillons, ce serait chouette mais ce n'est pas vraiment applicable. On aimerait par contre voir plus de documentation être conservée.

1. What Mike says is 100% correct. This gives no idea of how viable Steam is as a launch platform for games in 2026 - despite remaining the best launch platform available.
2. $100K+ is going to be "success" in very limited contexts - a solo developer, or a small team outside of expensive areas.

Et c'est une bonne chose, comparé à la génération précédente qui exclu les jeux s'ils ne sont PAS des machines AAA. Par contre, est ce que ca se traduit par des achats de titres indé?

Je pense plus que la "qualité graphique" n'est pas si importante dans l'absolu. Il 's'agit d' une génération qui est entré dans le jv par Minecraft, Among us, Roblox, et de nombreux autres titres très efficaces sur Twitch.

It's possible that kind of issue might be the reason why congress is supposed to vote on war, among many other things.

Sometimes presidents are wrong. Sometimes they are just complete idiots.

Much better than the jetsky idea! I'm sure Musk could do it in two or three days. Digging holes is so easy you see.

Océane Granger, « revenante » de Syrie : portrait d'une djihadiste jugée repentie Océane Granger est une ex-djihadiste, « revenante » de zone irako-syrienne. Elle y a vécu avec son mari et ses enfants d’août 2015 à février 2019.

J'étais au procès d'une "revenante" de zone irako-syrienne.

Elle y est resté 3 ans, a perdu ses enfants dans un bombardement à Raqqa. Elle a passé 3 ans dans des camps kurdes, presqu'autant dans des prisons françaises.

La cour d'assises l'a laissée libre.

I've had the same discussion yesterday. Iran has just no incitatives to deescalate (why wouldn't they even allow chinese vessels to pass the strait? They want China to pressure Trump).

The US have essentially backed themselves in a corner, haven't they?

Recently found out that DuckDuckGo has a dedicated No AI search page. It automatically turns off AI-generated answers and filters out known AI-generated images. No more having to change the settings manually.

omg I hadn't thought about option 2b. It would be a castrophe of epic proportions. Hopefully it does not happen.

From my understanding these coasts are not exactly the best terrain for such an objective? So what kind of limited are we speaking about here?

Ships change tracking data, boast China links to weave through Strait of Hormuz Iran has effectively closed the vital waterway since US-Israeli strikes on it began on Feb 28. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

People find live out that the Iranians i) can read and ii) have decided to be the Millwall of the Middle East (nobody likes us, but we don't care).

Dealing with this extraordinarily clever ruse in a rather direct manner, the Iranians apparently just shot up a Chinese vessel.

Et puis ce serait une opération facile et sans risque qui detournerait l'attention de l'affaire Iranienne qui détournait l'attention de l'affaire Epstein. Que des avantages.

The solution is obviously jerrican carrying jetsky. Too small and too fast for Iran to target effectively.
