I feel the need to start a campaign to start quoting wifi *quality* at places, rather than just a binary yes or no, which is not very useful if you rely on the wifi to get any work done. Rocking up at a place and finding a dodgy 1.5Mbps connection amounts to a spell in utter purgatory.

I'm just a girl, standing in front of the entire infosec community, asking them to give practical, simple digital security/privacy advice to people seeking abortions instead of describing outlandish Jason Bourne scenarios.

A pharmacist who refused to fulfil a prescription for the morning-after pill due to her beliefs has seen the case against her discontinued after a court found she caused “negligible social harm”.
