All the people who are anti-The Precious, I have one question: If The Precious disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire day of catching fish so juicy sweet and guessing what a tricksy hobbit has got in its pocketses?

I have one answer.

Every time you check out a library book instead of ordering from Amazon, ask a friend instead of an LLM, cook a meal instead of ordering from an app, or go for a walk instead of scrolling social media, you interrupt the cash flows of insane CEOs. Do it! Ruin their day!

Here’s what Flock’s new reforms do and, more importantly, what they don’t do. Spoiler alert: They don’t change the dangers of mass surveillance. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Too Little, Too Late: Flock Admits Their Technology Needs Reforms

The reforms are a combination of long overdue changes along with some cosmetic fixes that fail to address the fundamental dangers of this technology.

The FCC killed a 22-year-old rule stopping any company from owning stations reaching more than 39% of U.S. households. Your local news station could now get hijacked by corporate overloads to determine what news you get. This should alarm everyone.

How pathetic for an #androidapp to rely completely on Google Play services that it crashes and closes. #androiddevelopers You're better than this! Don't be lazy and rely on someone else's infrastructure! I *know* many apps work just fine and flawless without this reliance! #darthandroid

Please cancel all of them moving forward.

For the moment, Android users still have the final say in what software runs on their increasingly locked-down smartphones, though later this year, Google plans to seriously curtail that freedom in the name of security.

With developer verification, Google's Apple envy threatens to dismantle Android's open legacy

Questions remain as Google prepares to lock down Android app distribution in the name of security.

Open Letter to Google Regarding Mandatory Developer Registration for Third-Party App Distribution

Attention ALL #android #appdevelopers, please do NOT take a knee to Google! This response from Google is malicious noncompliance for a court order demanding open access to apps after Google tried to block other app stores in Google Play Store. keepandroidopen.org

I have been away for a while, spending my days reading. I learned of a #book that I deeply desire for my personal library: Neural Exercises for #Autism by Sean M. Inderbitzen, DSW, LSCW. There's a #giveaway on #StoryGraph for it & I hope to win a print copy!🤞🙌💙📚 @thestorygraph.com

Wisdom of #ecology and the #Land will break your heart every time you hear a chainsaw and wood chipper in your neighborhood, knowing you're losing a precious community member. My heart aches for The Standing People. 💔🌲💔

Birds talk in distress when Trees are cut down. The same calls I hear when predators are near. Aching and shaking from poor #Land stewardship of neighbors. A candle for Cascara. 🌲🕯️ A candle for Malus. 🍎🕯️ No #Tree was left as a #wildlife Tree. #ecoanxiety #animism #bioregionalism

Did you know that #voicetherapy could exacerbate temporomandibular joint disorders? I didn't, until I experienced a devastating flare in #chronicpain for over a week after my first session. It makes sense, since my mouth and lip shapes change to access #resonance goals. #TMJD #TMD #themoreyouknow

Amongst the chaos, I have irrelevant thoughts that I came here to share: When can I get a reagent kit to detect #amatoxin among #mushroom samples? I am not wise in #ochem yet, but do amatoxins react with anything to be able to create a reagent? 🤔🍄🧪🧫 #harmreduction #mycology #poisonousmushrooms

This is brilliant. Since SPD has historically refused to be accountable for the harm they cause to our communities, let's make sure it's documented where ALL can see.

Big Tech executives took turns praising Trump at a cringy White House dinner. No surprise they did this while Trump & Big Tech are making each other richer at the expense of American safety. Here's an idea: How about a government that puts people over profits for a change?!

For those who are not privileged with #Land or space to grow #nativeplants, I wish we could have affordable access to bulk native seeds to fill #birdfeeders, so #birds could have region specific food sources and spread that seed around for an avian #ecologicalrestoration method. #rewilding

Maker grief: forgetting to change the speed setting on my 2-speed drill while using a hole saw, and cracked the acrylic I'm drilling into. 😅 Expensive lesson in tool wisdom! 😤 #maker #diy #toolsafety #toolwisdom

As said a lot of times: - this needs to go on until they accept defeat - your calls and emails should remain on the topic and make a complaint about your inability to spend money on legal things - ask for a case number, ask for a supervisor, send mail if they ask to the @ given - it's a marathon

I am just North of #BlueAngels flying for several hours today. It is so loud like thunder, I can feel it in my body, & spiking #anxiety. They must be doing loops South of me, as I keep bracing them to fly over, & can feel them turning with the air waves I'm feeling. This is awful! #Seafair #N2BA
