So, here’s the bottom line: when WaPo’s opinion pages are being gutted and tech CEOs are seeking pre-approval from authoritarians, the line between “tech coverage” and “saving democracy” has basically disappeared. It’s all the same thing.
tbf, the past few years have felt like decades
“Open” is “.com” 2.0.
The guide seems to be aimed at attendees, rather than organizers and media. If someone is showing up to add their voice to the protest, then leaving their phone at home is an ideal way to minimize their footprint.
If you can, leave your phone at home
That’s it! There’s the answer!
Framework isn’t sharing any idea of pricing today, beyond that it will be “lower cost” compared to the Framework Laptop 13, which typically starts at around $750 for a DIY model with previous-gen chips or $1,100 for a prebuilt with the latest ones.
I really hope they can get the price low. I briefly looked at Framework in the fall, but I couldn’t justify the price.
This is a well written call to action: bullet points, concise headings, simple language, links to examples and reasoning.
It beats the usual manifestos that get posted.
That is a lot of text. But the bit that jumped out at me was:
But if you need a tool to communicate privately with your friends and family–even if your chats are boring, mundane, and totally legal–Signal is the best damn choice I can recommend.
And I trust them, because they bedazzled their essay with lots of furry art. Like an excessive amount. So they either know what they’re talking about or it’s a mid-effort psyop.
WikiTree is popular in my circles. I’m not sure if there’s a significant difference from Family Echo.
What is Family Echo? Why is it better than other free genealogy databases?
Are these cables just for use by Meta properties, or will they sell access to other orgs?
Apparently Google (or maybe Alphabet?) also has a bunch of undersea cables. It looks like those are for just by Google Cloud customers (and presumably) Google itself.
It clearly isn’t open source, but on Pixel devices, swiping up to the switcher, and then tapping the image is enough to open Lens and get the URL.
Seems like a pretty huge opportunity for Reddit. If the article mentioned it, I missed it.
I’m surprised they aren’t talking about subscriber subreddits. With the amount of porn/OnlyFans posts, I would have thought they could position Reddit as a friendly and familiar OF alternative.
Citizen Lab is a national treasure. I really enjoy reading about what they do.
I’m in the same boat. I enjoyed the short story more, but mostly because it didn’t feel as over the top. The wacky alien mechanic works better in print IMO.
Phew. Glad that bug got papered over 9999 years ago, so we won’t have to deal with it.
That wouldn’t stop a true ethical hacker
this game is so buggy
