🇨🇦 Canadians prefer the disabled and poverty stricken pushed out of sight-- invisible

Punishing unhoused people for existing doesn’t make them go away

Encampment sweeps won’t solve Canada’s homeless crisis | CCPA

Devin’s headlamp cut through the darkness. At the base of the pine trees lining the narrow green strip beside Notre Dame East Boulevard, he was bent, writing on the white backside of a plastic sheet.

🇺🇸 It's been exactly one year since we went live with our Reproducible Builds publicly. Almost exactly at their first anniversary, we passed the mark of 50% apps covered by them.

But more has happened since: we've improved on the RBs, published the framework. You've asked for Download Statistics? Today we make those public. And more – plus more to come. As usual, we announce what it's ready – no fabulous promises, just facts. So read the full update here:

News from the first half of 2025: RB work, Download Statistics, and more

Half a year has passed since our last blog post. You might be curious what we achieved since then – and we have not been idle! Be prepared for more reproducible builds, download statistics, and other nice things 😃

I enjoyed listening two these podcasts on Asian history back to back today
Sarah Paine Episode 1: The War For India:

How will #Taiwan shape #Asia’s future? With Chris Horton:

I was really impressed by just how much Taiwan.

@stepan "Nejlepší" jsou takoví, co na příčné parkování určené pro běžná auta postaví dlouhou dodávku. Na chodníku se chodec s bídou protáhne (kočárek ani vozík neprojede), zatímco druhý konec dodávky vyčnívá do jízdního pruhu. Ale jinak samozřejmě vytváření nových parkovacích míst přímo na chodníku je taky lahůdka.

This is bad, on its face, but there is also zero chance it won't be abused to block other content that whatever TPTB deem undesirable. #torrent #privacy #indieweb

Congratulations. Any plans to start working on an ARM64-based sled? Or is x86-64 still so entrenched that only systems nerds care at all about being free of that legacy? (I was just reading an article about how x86-64 VMs still boot into 16-bit real mode.)

I guess another factor is whether any ARM64 chips with competitive performance are available for a company like Oxide to integrate, or whether Apple and the hyperscalers are in a league of their own here.

Also, truly a gem in my collection of Ancient Paper Artifacts—I just scanned and uploaded the AOL guide for "Information Providers." This document was heavily NDA-ed back when AOL existed. archive.org/details/america-on…
The cover and intro page from a scanned AOL "Information Provider's Guide." The cover is a SUPER 90's "jazz cup" style design with three superimposed copies of the AOL logo in teal, purple, and blue. It is labeled "Revision 1.0, July 1994."

I'm your (not so) private dancer 🔞

Spotify users in the UK have to verify their age to listen to Parental Advisory music due to the Online Safety Act.

We're being infantalised for something that's already manageable by parental controls.

It could even end up in accounts being deactivated 🤯

Bad law makes for bad, incoherent outcomes. That's the #OSA for you.

Spotify Is Forcing Users to Undergo Face Scanning to Access Explicit Content

Submit to biometric face scanning or risk your account being deleted, Spotify says, following the enactment of the UK's Online Safety Act.

Open Rights Group

The UK Online Safety Act has erected an age wall through the Internet 🚧

UK users are forced to accept censorship or hand over sensitive data to unregulated providers.

The government’s response? You’re a predator 🤨

Enough. Tell your MP to fix it now ⬇️

Tell your MP: The Online Safety Act isn’t working

What's the problem? The Online Safety Act has been a disaster. Rather than protect children, millions of adults are facing widespread censorship, and teenagers are having their freedom of expression restricted.

🇩🇪🚨Leak: Viele Länder, die noch 2024 die #Chatkontrolle gestoppt haben, sind jetzt unentschieden - darunter Deutschland! netzpolitik.org/2025/internes-…

Die Bundesregierung (BMI, BMJV, BMWE, BMDS, BMBFSFJ) entscheidet bis August - werdet jetzt laut! chatkontrolle.de

Eine Karte von Europa zeigt die Länder farblich markiert nach der Haltung ihrer Regierungen zur Chatkontrolle. Die Legende erklärt: Grün steht für „Ablehnend/Neutral“, Blau für „Unentschieden“ und Rot für „Dafür“. Die meisten west- und südeuropäischen Länder (darunter Frankreich, Spanien, Portugal, Italien, Irland, Schweden, Dänemark, Litauen, Lettland, Bulgarien und Griechenland) sind rot markiert, was bedeutet, dass sie dafür sind. Länder wie Deutschland, Polen, Österreich, Slowenien, Kroatien und die Niederlande sind grün markiert und somit ablehnend oder neutral. Einige Länder, darunter Finnland, Estland, Belgien, Rumänien und Griechenland, sind blau markiert und damit unentschieden.

🇬🇧🚨Leak: Many countries that said NO to #ChatControl in 2024 are now undecided—even though the 2025 plan is even more extreme!
🗳️ The vote is THIS October.
👉 Tell your government to #StopChatControl!
Act now: chatcontrol.eu
A map of Europe titled "Help Stop #ChatControl!" shows countries color-coded by their government's stance on Chat Control in 2025. The legend indicates: green for "Not in favour," blue for "Undecided/Unclear," and red for "In favour." Countries in favour (red) are: Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal, Slovakia, and Spain. Countries not in favour (green) are: Austria, Netherlands, and Poland. Countries undecided or unclear (blue) are: Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Slovenia, Luxembourg, Romania, and Sweden (in favour, but subject to approval by Parliament). The map includes the text "Is your government opposing it yet?" and a call to action at the bottom: "Act now! www.chatcontrol.eu".
