Seattle, I am in you

Court holds Google liable for false claims in AI Overviews. Seems significant. "A regular search engine just points to outside websites. But AI overviews generate 'independent, new, and substantive statements' by evaluating and combining content from various third-party sites" the-decoder

Seattle's city council will vote today on whether to enact a one-year moratorium on new data centers—just 2 months after 5 large-scale centers were proposed. Among the moratorium’s fiercest supporters are employees of the city’s biggest tech giant, Amazon. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Supporters are now listed on www.dotfurry.org#supporters-h... for those who have chosen to share their contributions publicly. These include those who have elected to make donations in memory of those who have passed and in honor of other community members who are special to them.

“The future being built is one in which the camera is no longer just a camera, the phone is no longer just a phone, and glasses are no longer just glasses. They are portals into identity systems. They make the face a query and turn public presence into searchable data.” 💀

This is Pamela Griffin. Back then, Black people weren't allowed to buy city land so her family settled outside, next to the farmer. Seeing them play baseball, the farmer told them he'd donate his land for a park—and put it in a deed. The city still sold it. www.404media.co/a-farmer-don...

Seattle friends! I'll be visiting in a few weeks for a work trip. I'll be around all week of the 15th through the following weekend. Let's hang out :3

As we continue to defend LGBTQ rights across the nation, we also know that our joy is at the heart of our resistance. We’re fighting for the freedom to be who we are, not who politicians want us to be.

Does this to you

What a coincidence! I just interviewed this Fisher Price Farmer Says See 'n' Say, and it told me some incredibly interesting things about farm life. Let me know when you'd like to publish this!

I can recommend indie project home.omg.lol, it offers a link page among many other things. No risk of enshittification. And you can bring your own domain if omg.lol isn't up to your standards. 😀

New blog post! I came across a fully-interactive offline archive(!!) of a BBS from 1994 and wanted to share an interactive walkthrough of it. Let's explore 90s Kansai online and see what people were chatting about. cdrom.ca/games/2026/0...

Yes, I wrote and illustrated a whole Seuss book for this bit.

Tech companies desperately want to film you doing chores

This is good practice for EVERYONE. Our data is important and is not forever. Having redundancy and parity is important in a world so driven by 1s and 0s.

Policymakers are legislating blanket bans on social media based on evidence that would be rejected in any other field of public health. Before imposing these draconian measures, they must listen to the experts sounding the alarm on oversimplified conclusions. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

EFF is excited to be back at Open Sauce this July in San Mateo, CA! If you're attending the event, be sure to catch our booth to learn more about our work advocating for privacy and free speech online. www.eff.org/event/eff-o...

Handing the FBI more tools for warrant-less surveillance will supercharge the criminalization of Black, brown and poor communities and the punishment of abortion seekers. www.404media.co/the-fbi-want...

Reading a disaster of a devops for a software engineering "agency of agents" to feed into openclaw and a template in the devops agent hallucinated a security scanner that isn't real, so you could do something REALLY funny to anyone that's foolish enough to use this.

Do you want to see how hard ICANN cry

It's official... ClubKnot is live! Looking for a space to get geared up, get in suit, dance to some techno, and bark at some friends? This space is for you, and we're very excited to have you there. Join us for a night of animal fun at the SF Eagle on June 13th from 9PM-2AM!

Annoy the living daylights out of both payment processors and your local government. Never let them know peace while they are disturbing yours.

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

With all the problems in the world today it's infuriating that the thing which seems to be getting significant political momentum is youth social media bans.

Bambu Lab 3D printers: never again. They're breaking the open source social contract (for the nth time...), and I'm past hoping they'll amend their ways. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb48...

Happy 30th anniversary to the Internet Archive (launched on May 10, 1996). A staggering piece of history and technology that must be preserved.

New from 404 Media: Skyrocketing hard drive and storage costs caused by the AI data center boom are making it more expensive and more difficult for digital archivists, academics, Wikipedia, and hobby data hoarders to save data and archive the internet www.404media.co/the-ai-hard-...

Our new kids series, Know Your Rights University, makes learning about civil liberties easy and fun for people of all ages! Now more than ever, it's important to understand our rights — whether you're a parent, kid, or teacher.

Cons should be by the community, for the community. If you're trying to spin up a new con and being evasive about who's running it, that's an immediate red flag on a BIG scale. Esp when the one person who's said they're involved is a "community liaison" who doesn't look very involved w the community

i love repairing my own life safety devices

In news that absolutely everyone predicted…

One reason that threat modeling for your digital privacy/security is harder than it looks is that most people don't know what data is being generated about them and who has access to it. www.proofnews.org/womans-talks...
