Truth be told, I care less about physical media than I care about ownership and access. Digital-only would be acceptable to me as long as there’s a contract (or better yet, digital ownership legislation) that guarantees my ability to download in perpetuity and, given a server shutdown, DRM removed.🧵

It is called Android Developer Verifier (ADV), and the free software community refers to it by its technical name: malware.

Best. Video. Yet. Well worth it, especially for those who have yet been introduced to Jordan's content 👏👏👏

A $30,000 electric van?? Please bring it to the United States so my husband can finally replace his Ford Transit van that is constantly breaking down due to recalls!!

IMHO this issue hasn't received the attention it deserves. If the models are leaking anyway, all of this debate about control is largely irrelevant.

We have made some progress getting @iroh.computer to work on esp32. Iroh 1.0 compiles on xtensa esp32 and works on the esp32-s3 out of the box. We still need a tiny dependency reduction patch for the bare esp32, but nothing major. github.com/n0-computer/...

Hyundai and Kia added official GrapheneOS support to their apps months before Volkswagen banned GrapheneOS: discuss.grapheneos.org/d/31697-myhy... Pressure from Volkswagen customers on them can achieve the same thing. There's no legitimate reason to ban GrapheneOS so they'll undo it with pressure.

Nuclear opinion: I don’t care if you use AI to write code,¹ but making a human review a change before an LLM is disrespectful. Why am I catching your bugs if a computer could have done it? It’s like asking to review code that doesn’t compile or pass CI. ¹ As long as you do it responsibly.

Great episode. Inspiring and uplifting!

Just setting the record straight! I can't be sure, but I think everyone involved in Flock's public messaging is over 12 years old.

We just released the first stable version of iroh, v1.0! Read about it: www.iroh.computer/blog/v1 We're super proud of where we landed with iroh's 1.0. Since version 0.35 it feels like we've entirely replaced the "engine underneath". Are you a fellow key-dialer? Come tell us how you use iroh!

Colorado statewide snowpack has fully melted off, per latest NWCC data. That marks the earliest snowpack melt since 2018, and the 5th-earliest on record (since 1987). It’s also about two weeks earlier than average. This also fully opens the door for summer fire season. #COwx

Crypto and AI political action committees have over $300 million on hand — more money than the party committees — and they're using it to buy favorable regulation. From my interview with @tiffanymuller.bsky.social of @endcitizensunited.bsky.social

@quantabooks.org just released their first book, on the story of Lean by @kevinhartnett.bsky.social. It's a great story, about a pretty significant part of what's happening in math right now. www.quantabooks.org/books/the-pr...

“Given this administration’s crackdown on free expression, protest, immigrants, and women’s health,” EFF sees this “as a bold attack on freedom of communication,” EFF’s @cooperq.com told @404media.co. “They want to take away our ability to make an anonymous phone call.”

The known cases of police using Flock to stalk people are almost certainly a vast underreporting of the overall abuse, because they largely include only cases in which the behavior was so egregious that it led to police officers being fired, arrested, or both.

NEW: The FCC wants to make it effectively impossible for people to buy what many call burner phones—a phone not explicitly linked to your identity at the point of purchase—which would impact privacy-conscious people, to domestic abuse survivors, to journalists, and many more.

NEW: SignalTrace, a technology by surveillance company Leonardo, wants to add trackers to your phone, wireless headphones, smart watches and other devices to their automatic license plate readers.

An EFF analysis reveals a troubling pattern of mission creep with ALPRs. Without a warrant requirement, law enforcement agencies are shifting from using the technology for specific criminal investigations to using these surveillance networks for minor personal whims. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Today I was detained by Smyrna Police for being interviewed across the street from Flock Safety's drone and camera manufacturing facility. The giant warehouse and office is branded as "DPR Construction" online and even has DPR logos, I suppose because Flock employee privacy is super important.

Golden theater drops ticket prices so more people can see a show during economically challenging time

Hello. The moment you gate educational videos behind a paywall, a massive wall of bureaucracy goes up. Teachers have to beg administrators for budgets, companies have to wine-and-dine school boards, millions of students get locked out, and people get forced into using material they don't like.

This is what your neighborhood will be like after your representatives sign that Flock contract. Get involved before it's too late.

I realized that I need to open the door to right-oriented podcasts and media as this shit is far too important for comfort-politics. So here's an offer. Link to comment: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHQv...
