When they catch the person/people responsible for this, and they will, there shouldnt be a trial. They should be promptly executed. They gave no thought to killing/injuring others, and probably enjoyed it, so why should their rights be protected.

Anyway, glad none of my family in the Boston area were around there. Sorry for all the people who were tho.

Their rights should be protected because that's the difference between animals like the person that did this and a functional society.

His actions are so repulsive for just this reason, we shouldn't join him in this.

If people do bad things to people because people did bad things to people then Society is getting pretty well nowhere. Besides, for all you know, we'd be doing them a huge favor.

Just look at who posted that video on Youtube: NWOTruthChannel....

nuff said.

I don't want to get into a whole separate debate, however to be 100% fair that image (original + zoom in) didn't originate from the "NWOTruthChannel" channel. I have seen it scattered around the web since around 30 minutes after I heard it happened.

You know there are plenty of armchair professionals around.

But yes, let's don't get into a whole separate debate.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no conspiracy theorist, he just looks very suspicious, the way his back his arched made him look very calm and not running. This was just after the first explosion too.

If you notice, he has no direct LOS to the blasts, so he could not have seen them go off. Conspiracy theory. Nice try though :)

why do we have to have a conspiracy theory pop up for literally everything anymore.. this is one bad thing about the internet..... everyone pushes stuff as truth with no proof.. this is almost as stupid as the Obama reptilian alien secret service the other week

I have a friend from Boston who's also a member of Neowin. I really hope he's okay!

Prayers to the victims and their families, by the way.

Update: he's fine. I contacted him outside of Neowin (via texting on his cell). :)

He's a sweet guy, heh.

I think the picture of the man with most of his leg blown away really captures the horror of the attack. Too often those who are injured get overlooked, with everybody focusing on the number of fatalities. It's hard to imagine what going through that must be like but it certainly wouldn't be easy. :no:

I hadn't noticed the veins until you mentioned it, though I didn't spend a huge amount of time looking at the picture (it's pretty harrowing).

It was pretty crowdy over there

I thought this was pretty odd

not really that odd, everyone cheering is very loud if you've been to a marathon its hard to hear anything... if you are at ground level that is all you hear, go above people it starts to dull out how the sound travels plays a big role in that... the TV cameras where either in the road or above the level of most people, so they got hit by the sound wave pretty well... you are a person at ground level, it gets drowned out pretty easily

Amen. The days after I lost my right leg were indescribable. Wouldn't wish if on anyone.

What angers me is I've already got several friends on Facebook asking what country was responsible for this. As if America is somehow dissolved of all evil persons. We're so good at pointing the finger, never looking in the mirror. Some of the people making these comments have wished will-ill on our President in the past. Just absolutely baffles me...

I'm not one to cling to the news and follow minute-by-minute coverage so I'll just say that I'm really saddened by what happened. Sad for Boston. Sad for the folks participating/cheering at the marathon. Truly heinous act.

That article is still quoting 12 dead, a third explosion, and other nonsense we now know not to be true...

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
