“What the DEA is essentially doing is telling a diabetic who's been on insulin for 20 years that they no longer need insulin and they should be cured. They just don't understand what chronic pain is.” https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxnyb9/dea-fentanyl-doctor-patient-suicide

Just got locked out of Twitter and it's demanding my phone number (which they don't have) to let me back in. I've got security keys registered, why can't I use them?

If you use #Android alongside a #Windows, #Linux, or even #Mac computer, take note:

You can easily move stuff between your devices despite the fact that they're on different platforms. You've just gotta have the right tools and tactics to do it.

I put together a list of the smart sharing systems I can't live without — for beaming everything from websites to text and all sorts of files between devices, without any headaches or hassles.

I hope it's useful for you, too!

As a nonprofit, the Tor Project relies on donations, not profit, to fight for privacy online. We don’t harvest or sell your data and we don't charge to use Tor. That means that everyone, everywhere, can use Tor for free.

Because Tor is built on donations, we need those who are able to step up and make a monthly donation to ensure Tor is available for everyone, no matter their circumstances:

I’d much rather see Apple unban sex than ban the bird site

Our team of artists, engineers, activists, & technologists ruthlessly advocate for a future where technology is a force for liberation.
Because we're strategically small and scrappy, your donation to ❤️Fight will have a huge return-on-investment. https://fftf.link/vZQVr

Telling moment at this panel discussion about antitrust, where the Republican guy admits that GOP interest in antitrust is probably limited *just* to punishing big tech, and likely does not apply to any other industry.

That's not a principled stance. It's not about actual antitrust complaints. It's about using antitrust to punish companies for speech choices they dislike

I completely understand why academic researchers want access to social media company data. Hell *I* would love to have access to that data myself. But I'm perplexed at how they don't even seem to consider the practical difficulties (privacy, gov't threats, the impact on free speech) from government *mandating* data access.
