Hey Washington, there's a profoundly bad law making its way through the state level.

This law, will require ALL 3d printers to send copies of the files you print directly to the government to be check against a database of "banned shapes".

Literally turning your 3d printer into spyware. And if you don't voluntarily turn your printer into a spy, you will be a class C Felon.

This law affects ALL CNC machines, not just 3dps.

Hello internet, I've been lurking for a while but let's try an #introduction.

I'm a recovering tumblr girlie (does fandom exist on mastodon? for better or worse?) who likes #reading, #knitting, and cross-country #skiing as soon as there's enough snow here the #PNW.

I believe in tech that helps build a more liberatory future and want to know what abolitionist, anit-authoritarian #datascience might look like.

Well it seems I will be presenting @badgefed at #fosdem on the #socialwebfosdem track!

This was a long-shot and honestly it will make my logistics very difficult, the week before I will be travelling with my family to Mexico. So probably, will take the kiddo to the junior track!

20 mins of presentation but honestly I am looking forward to the networking. See you at #fosdem26 from the #PNW!

And make sure to attend and say hi if you are there, I will be giving you badges!
