"Listeners should have control of their own data, which includes exporting it for their own use," EFF’s Jacob Hoffman-Andrews told @ArsTechnica.com. "An individual's musical history is of use not just to Spotify but also to the individual who created it."

While police departments say the drones-as-first-responders technology will be used to reduce crime, it could be expanded to other situations such as policing homeless residents and surveilling communities, EFF’s Beryl Lipton told @ocregister.bsky.social.
In Huntington Beach, drones will soon replace police officers as first-response option for 911 calls
Police say the unmanned aerial vehicles will slash response times, as they typically respond within two minutes.

Screenshot of a web page displaying 'print(f"{1<5:1<5}")' and I guessed it result in 'True1' but the correct answer is '11111' and it gives the reasoning of "Well that's unexpected. The first 1 < 5 evaluates to True, but for some reason booleans render like integers when padded since they are a subclass of int. So we're padding out to 5 characters, all of which are prefixed by 1."

The #ACLU could file a class action lawsuit (class is all persons with birth certificates) in each state to ensure they join the protection of the 14th ammendment of the constitution, just to shine a legal light on what him and the supreme court ruling kinda just did.

Illustration by Paul Krafft for the reverend William Schuler Harris’ Capital and Labor (1907), a treatise on the exploitation of workers by capitalism and the potential solutions in socialism. More here: publicdomainreview.org/collection/c... #mayday
A nighttime illustration depicts a towering monument made entirely of human skulls, surrounded by a low fence also adorned with skulls. The base of the monument bears the inscription: “In memory of the victims who were crushed under capitalism.” Two elderly figures stand nearby, mourning. In the background, a crescent moon illuminates a somber sky filled with clouds and birds. Below the image is a caption that reads: “Monument of Skulls.—When the battle between Capital and Labor is over, such a gruesome monument will be a suitable memorial. Two old survivors have come to shed a few more tears in memory of the cruel age of competition.”
