New from me: Destroying Flock cameras cuts across political and geographical divides, resulting in mass-vandalism so intense & effective that multiple cities have decided not to replace them. As @margaret.bsky.social recently put it: "When social movements stand behind their criminals, they win.”

Americans are cheering for vigilantes who take down Flock cameras

The surveillance cameras have become another flashpoint of growing bipartisan anger against tech industry excess.

The year is 2027, you are having a medical emergency in an ice cold, bug infested concentration camp. You haven’t eaten safe food in weeks. You are monitored by robotic dogs who do not report your medical emergency but record you having it while private contractors watch from an office

New: ICE plans to spend millions of dollars on Boston Dynamics dog robots. ICE says this is to improve "officer safety." The robots can open doors, pick up objects, have 360 cameras, infrared vision, etc. Boston Dynamics didn't respond to question on its stance on ICE www.404media.co/ice-plans-to...

"LibreOffice 26.8 contains no generative AI features. Documents are not transmitted to remote services for processing, and no component of the suite requires network access to function. This is a deliberate position."

Linuxiac@linuxiac.bsky.social · 7d ago

LibreOffice 26.8 is now available with a new Paragraph Composer in Writer, native OpenType variable font support, Calc improvements, and better document compatibility. linuxiac.com/libreoffice-... #OpenSource #OfficeSuite

Anyone not focusing on this stuff and pretending some social media asshole matters more than the new Gestapo should be thrown in the slammer next to the criminals in the current administration because they're the same person

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.

The "school security industry" is a way to bankrupt school districts by redirecting funding away from teachers and giving it to various kinds of cop-adjacent chuds instead. The Plot To Enslave America

The tiny and quick drones are being deployed in an increasing number of school districts – part of a growing school security industry as parents and schools find new ways to protect students and staff from carnage. https://cnn.it/4qDiszA

Their whole “we’re democratising art” “stop gatekeeping art” are very clearly bullshit when you see it’s always been about attacking artists, nothing more.

Scrapers know we're a volunteer project with no financial means to take action. So they say it's legal, believing themselves untouchable. We're taking action.

happy Independence Day to my dear Ukraine the same independence that, sadly, has to be fought for against barbarism, cruelty and unbridled arrogance coming from a neighbouring chauvinistic regime despite our spilled blood, tears and tragedies. Not for longer, I still dearly hope. Слава Україні!

Put another way: Elon Musk is currently worth approximately $825 billion more than John D. Rockefeller, the richest of the robber barons, was worth, even adjusted for inflation. bsky.app/profile/cjcm...

Nearly two weeks after the release of UNITED STATES OF OLIGARCHY, and one of the clearest responses to the book is that folks don't know just how much worse the US now is in terms of wealth inequality than it was during the Gilded Age.
