“We’ve built this horrifying Orwellian surveillance industry over the last 10 to 20 years, and now ICE is buying access to all of it,” EFF’s Cooper Quintin told Minnesota’s Sahan Journal. sahanjournal.com/immigration/i

ICE’s surveillance technology goes beyond facial recognition

Federal immigration agencies are using a vast surveillance network in Minnesota – from facial recognition technology to ‘stingrays’ that collect data by impersonating cell phone towers.

Konnte einem Kollegen auch nach vielen Hinweisen das Mansplaining und Captain Obvious Kommunikationsverhalten einfach nicht abgewöhnen.

Hab diese Woche jetzt in Meetings eiskalt das selbe durchzogen und heute hat er es endlich gecheckt 😭.

We can grow something better! Punk Month 🖤

"We invest too much of our culture in centralized, for-profit, corporate social media platforms. These platforms enrich billionaires, expand surveillance, and fund the cult of capitalist war, all while trapping us with addictive algorithms that feed us mindless content. It feels necessary to be on these platforms to "stay connected", yet paradoxically they increase our isolation. Their purpose is to extract profit, not to help us connect.

Instead of jumping between online capitalist corporate platforms, we propose a radical alternative that's actually aligned with punk values: the Fediverse, a network for open, autonomous, decentralized, not-for-profit, and DIY social media.

The Fediverse is an interconnected network of social media platforms..."

An Australian-Jordanian developer launched a TikTok clone called UpScrolled that was supposed to be a haven for pro-Palestinian content in the face of shadow bans. It reached 1,000,000 users this week and sits atop App Store rankings. It is now being subsumed by Nazis, with mods unable to keep up.

A look at the faces of a couple of the men murdered while on a boat by the US government.

cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/us-bo

These Trinidadian fishermen were killed in a U.S. boat strike. Now their families are suing | CBC Radio

The U.S. government has said, without providing evidence, that the men killed on the boats were “narco-terrorists.” But Chad Joseph’s and Rishi Samroo’s families say they were just regular workers catching a ride home to the fishing village of Las Cuevas.

Excusez-moi?! I'm still on Mastodon, still working on Mastodon--I love it here. Seems like the journalist has now removed the paragraph from the article, but has not published a retraction, and the false statement is still in the audio version. Where did they get this idea from?

Mac ARM VMs on ARM are generally tons better than the state of Mac Intel VMs on Intel (which is currently really terrible). Super fast CPU + graphics and really just hard to even tell I'm running a VM. Big exception is this dumb “licensing" based limit of 2 VMs at a time.

My fellow Canadians, if you want to be part of the USA, you can move there freely on your own. I encourage you to do so.

"To go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up Canada, there's an old-fashioned word for that, and that word is treason," said Eby ahead of the meeting.

大家知道陳歌辛嗎？戰前老上海的音樂家，戰後迎來悲慘結局。

但他在上海灘留下的音樂是值得被記憶的，小時候我老媽在廚房哼的音樂很多是他的作品。

說起來我媽也是老靈魂，以她的年紀這也是他老爸以上年紀的音樂，那是那個年代的音樂、我媽時代的鄉懷，儘管那不是她的故鄉，但那是那時代的音樂。

1960年的鄉懷，不屬於自己的異鄉的鄉懷，這是在那個時代的音樂

Oh quirky and learned Mastodonians, I come before you with a dream. Funded by the Canada Counsel for the Arts, I’m researching Friedrich Dulon and Maria Theresia Von Paradis, both 18th century European musicians renowned in their time, and both Blind. I’m looking for info about a German translator and writer of the time, Pfeffel, who was also Blind. I’d love to find some of his fables in English. Dulon met and admired him, and Leopold Kozeluch created a secular cantata for Maria Theresia von Paradis, setting Pfeffel's German text ("Ich war ein kleines Würmchen") to music. If anyone who likes digging and is multi-lingual could uncover this piece of music or his fables in any form accessible to an English speaker, I’d love to be able to incorporate it into story writing, storytelling, or even singing. As a Blind person myself I'm really interested in bringing their work to life for a modern audience, but I'm mono-lingual, and a terrible researcher. Please boost for reach.
