Google is locking down all phones and taking away basic freedoms. All Android developers will have to register centrally, pay a fee, and submit government ID. Apps from unregistered developers will be silently blocked. @keepandroidopen.bsky.social keepandroidopen.org

Remote attestation will be how the last remaining nooks of our computing freedom dies

All Wicked fans should check this out, I got my order in. So many awesome artists involved. Very exciting! #wicked #gelphie

It's nice to have some good news. The Summer Reading Club was formative for me as a kid. The ORL is doing amazing work!

What a delight to screen Zootopia 2 in pristine Dolby 3D today at the community cinema (familycinema.ca) for our final show of the season! I paired Pixar's lovely Bao short with it as well, also in 3D. We had a crowd of over 300! 🤩 #film #movies #disney #zootopia #3D #3-D #3dmovies #wdas

Disappointed to share that the James Cameron Billie Eilish concert film is slathered with AI-conversion tech by the same Outsyders group that ruined the live-action lilo and stitch film's "3D" presentation. #3D #stereoscopy #3-D #movies #film

I wish I'd have set up a dedicated optical drive enclosure earlier! It's so convenient to rip multiple discs at once and cover all use-cases with one box: CD/DVD/BD/3D/UHD, redump, disc quality scans & more! Highly recommend all physical media enthusiasts look into it. #dvd #bluray #uhd #4k #makemkv

More nonsense government mandated backdoors

Been waiting ages for James Cameron to discuss the possibility of granting Aliens a stereo conversion. Titanic and T2 are stunning in 3D so I hope he can complete Aliens and Terminator as well! letterboxd.com/journal/jame... #3D #3-D #stereoscopic #stereoscopy #bluray #movies #film #aliens

The entire home entertainment division of Disney has been eliminated... wow To go from Buena Vista putting out stellar stereoscopic 3D Blu-ray releases every few months to completely dead in 15 years. Tragic :( www.thewrap.com/creative-con... #disney #marvel #3d #physicalmedia #bluray #dvd #film

Truly a wild status change for one of the most important and underappreciated archives on the internet. Very exciting!

Incredibly, AO3 declared an end to beta status after 17 years 🤯 I never thought this would happen tbh, I assumed OTW would consider it in a mid-development state forever! Funny to see the logo without "beta". Seems invites are still being used. www.transformativeworks.org/ao3-is-exiti... #ao3 #otw

If you're on the fence about getting a DLP projector or an aspect ratio changing screen, don't hesitate. You'll regret having not done it sooner. I am so sad Wicked isn't on 3D Blu-ray. The UHD versions are among the best looking and sounding home media releases ever 😓 #projection #3d #hometheater

I wish I was this optimistic. Stereoscopic film is so inaccessible right now 🥲 It would be an absolute miracle if manufacturers gave the slightest care about 3D :(

I'm no journalist, so maybe there's an obvious reason not to that I'm not seeing, but I do find it odd that it's not standard practice to publish transcripts alongside highly condensed interview pieces like this.

Yeah I don’t understand why the focus in articles like this is always “is it working for you” instead of “what do you have to say about the massive ethical implications of using it?”

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

This is the end of Android as a platform.

Bluesky continues to collaborate with awful governments and ignore user privacy. Their new move is to require UK users to submit their ID to Epic Games lmao. www.theverge.com/news/704468/...

That's so much the wrong direction (centralisation, opacity). Why not improve on the DNS-based verification? (which is decentralized and transparent) Sounds like a cheap marketing move :/.

Bluesky is unethically collaborating with dictators. It operates a Turkish content labeler, which any account registered in Turkey is required to subscribe to, and censors posts. I'm disappointed, but not surprised. Was a good run here.

I honestly thought y'all were making this up

YouTube and twitter are really turning up the dial on their awful ai-ml video encoding. Everything looks disgusting when compared to higher quality original copies. I wish companies like Disney were smart enough to upload their videos in 2160p containers to get around this mess, but alas.

BC roads are about to get a lot more dangerous.

Hopefully www.thecvefoundation.org steps in regardless. Can't have this program ever lapse.

The MITRE CVE program might be killed off by the US Government. This would be a catastrophe for basic IT ops and information security :/ infosec.exchange/@briankrebs/...

Canada absolutely needs to repeal The Preclearance Act, 2016. It prevents Canadian citizens from leaving American border facilities when still on home soil, among other ridiculous provisions like allowing CBP officers to be armed! From CAUT Travel advisory: www.caut.ca/sites/defaul...

I am reminded of a thing I like to say about lying and it being bad for the health of society

Luckily, corporations and governments didn't stick computers into everything. ...right ?

New Bors masterpiece 👀

This is absolutely insane.. Torching progress

Sure feel bad for all those employees. Being replaced with a robot isn't exactly fun

This entire stalking/tracking industry is monstrous themarkup.org/privacy/2021...

Canada updates travel guidance for U.S., warning of heightened scrutiny at the border (Canada)

Cineplex is now attempting to gaslight me 😂 dawg, I am older than 6 years old and know what different shapes look like.

Disney is a huge supporter of stereo 3D. I wish they'd bring back their 3D Blu-rays

Cineplex is incapable of understanding how aspect ratios work... 😵 I'm gonna get in touch with the distributor this time, it is getting ridiculous.

there’s actually nothing to worry about unless you have to drive a lot or drive a little or pay rent or eat food

Important video. Thanks Bob

It’s like listening to your eulogy.
