  • Alberta pauses book ban after schools remove Handmaid’s Tale, 1984 and other classics

    Jump

  • Malicious compliance can mean finding ways to make a good law cause problems out of some other grievance, or it can be exposing how bad a law is by following it to its logical conclusion in a public and dramatic way. This is the latter, like those groups trying to get the bible removed in southern states with these kind of laws. It’s not about the bible, it’s about showing how bad book bans are.

  • Petition to stop Google from blocking sideloading

  • If it was about security, you could add an alternative signing authority from another org you trust to verify software. This is about giving them the ability to “turn off” revanced and other apps they don’t like regardless of where they are downloaded.

  • Petition to stop Google from blocking sideloading

  • I recently read a Kevin Mitnick book from a few years back. At the time, he recommended buying a cheap Chromebook, locking it up at home, and use it for banking - and ONLY banking. Never anything else.

    Nowadays, a person could do that with a phone.

  • Ice obtains access to Israeli-made spyware that can hack phones and encrypted apps

  • It’s always projection. They always assume the other side is doing what they do or plan to do. They tell on themselves years in advance.

  • AOL announces September shutdown for dial-up Internet access

    Jump

  • I wonder how many of those 164k are people who are still being billed for a service they no longer use.

  • Train your brain

  • The post isn’t a sound legal argument, but it is an ethical one.

  • TIL about Android Translation Layer (ATL), a way to port Android apps to Linux Mobile

    Jump

  • Ideally, the cellular modem just looks like a network device and usb sound card to the OS. Jail it as much as possible.

  • How to Build a Powerful Reverse Proxy Firewall for Blocking the Evil Web-Scraping Robot Hordes from Hell

    Jump

  • Cloudflare is a protection racket. They cover so many websites because it’s easier to pay the mafia.

  • Canada Has 4 International Fibre Optic Cables That Physically Bypasses the US

  • Yes. Amazing that they have been laying cables across oceans since the 1800s.

  • Step back and take it in: the US is entering full authoritarian mode

    Jump

  • This is a false equivalence, and doesn’t provide any insight into the situation, not unlike both-sides”ism”. No country is an ideal democracy, but there has been a fundamental change in the American state that needs to be acknowledged.

    Nixon snuck around trying to do some of these things, and was done when caught. That’s because America used to at least aspire to democratic republicanism and rule of law under a constitution. Openly giving up on that is a very big deal.

  • Japan Just Switched on Asia’s First Osmotic Power Plant, Which Runs 24/7 on Nothing But Fresh Water and Seawater

    Jump

  • Yeah, it’s just recovering a little of the energy spent in desalination, making it slightly less energy consuming.

  • Inspiring. Innovating.

    Jump

  • Reduction in emissions, absolutely! Direct carbon capture isn’t that. It’s a scam, destroying money for no benefit.

  • Inspiring. Innovating.

    Jump

  • Neither trees nor these can help much if fossil fuels continue to be burned at increasing rates.

  • Inspiring. Innovating.

    Jump

  • This will only ever make sense when we have carbon neutral energy that is “too cheap to meter.” So, like, nuclear fusion, or solar panels become cheaper than tar roofs. In other words, these systems will make sense after climate change is solved. lol.

  • Carney deepfake ads on YouTube

    Jump

  • Tolerance is conditional. It’s a peace treaty, not a commandment.

  • Aaron Swartz Documentary: The Internet's Own Boy

    Jump

  • Amazing that mass downloading of scientific databases turned out to be “just fine”, when big money wanted to train AI. What he downloaded was nothing compared to the scrapers running amuck now.

  • Japanese Power Plant Turns Saltwater Into Electricity

    Jump

  • It’s the misleading “generated” electricity headline. It just re-captures some of the spent energy to be slightly more efficient.

  • Japanese Power Plant Turns Saltwater Into Electricity

    Jump

  • They are just re-capturing some of the energy the system spent turning salt water into fresh. Because that results in extremely salty brine water waste, you can get some energy as it gets diluted back down to sea water concentration.

    There no “new” energy in the system, it’s just wasting less.
