Site-blocking bills go far beyond piracy—they will silence lawful speech, fragment the internet, and hurt everyday users.
Site-Blocking Legislation Is Back. It’s Still a Terrible Idea.
More than a decade ago, Congress tried to pass SOPA and PIPA—two sweeping bills that would have allowed the government and copyright holders to quickly shut down entire websites based on allegations o...

This is our future, do yourself a favor and read the @eff.org guide to street level surveillance as well as their guide on surveillance self defense. Links will be in the comments of my post.
1. In what could be a look at our own future in the United States, AI Surveillance is to be deployed on Budapest Pride, which has been banned and which will fine participants.

Organizers vow to march regardless.

Linux Mint is my favorite operating system, if y'all have nothing tethering you to windows you should give it a try
If you want software that will last as long as your hardware (10, 20 years and beyond)— put Linux on your Mac or Macbook

I picked Linux Mint and it's been a dream
Linux could, without exaggeration, give this machine another 20 years of working life, while OS X was a dead end years ago

This is one of the ways in which Apple is an unforgiveably unethical company

NEW: As early as next week, Senators plan to introduce the first bipartisan bill to repeal Section 230, the landmark internet law

DHS plans to collect social media data from immigrants (including many already in the U.S.) who file for citizenship, green cards, asylum, and other benefits – "an even greater threat to the First Amendment,” EFF’s Saira Hussain told @bloomberg.com.

The Alexa feature "Do Not Send Voice Recordings" you enabled no longer available. Now everything will be sent to Amazon cloud server and it may become part of LLM training. Only Amazon knows what they are going to do with all that data.

I see a lot of people saying that the end of windows 10 is going to be a massive e waste event, and while this is true I see the more pressing issue is that the majority of casual users won’t upgrade their PCs or switch to a Linux based OS. The bigger issue imo is the cyber security implications.

Relevant information for protests: Cell Site Simulators will in effect log who is at a protest, and their communication. They can also be a platform for launching hacking attempts on phones or for DDOS.

It looks like the EFF developed a cheap way to detect them:

My first gameboy color mod I did a few years back, swapped out the screen for an IPS display and gave it a glow in the dark shell. Pretty easy mod if you’re looking to get into retro console modding.
