In 2020 photojournalist Linda Tirado lost an eye when police shot her with a "rubber" bullet. Today she's dying in hospice due to complications of being shot in the eye.
She's asked for two things:
1. That you send donations to help costs of dying, see below
2. That you attend city council meetings and hold your local politicians to as much accountability as we can.

Great news everyone! I finally talk about AI hype. Someone finally mentioned LLMs one time too many, and the reckoning is upon us:

Them: Are you an "arr" pirate or a "yo ho ho" pirate?
Me: I'm a "I'm not paying six hundred bucks for Photoshop" pirate
LB: I need people to understand that merely beating this is not going to be enough.
Authorities the world over are going to keep trying shit like this over and over again until they get their way.
We need to get "lucky" every time.

It is super frustrating how the mainstream media fail to explain what #chatcontrol actually means.
Surveillance in the physical world is easy to explain, and obviously super creepy.
But surveillance in the digital world is not immediately visible, and unituitive.
What people need to realize is that chat control ist the equivalent of a robot police man with a raised baton standing next to your bed, watching you have sex.
When its elecetronic brain thinks you're doing something immoral, it will automaticlly start beating you up. And there will be nothing you can do to stop it, because as we all know, computers make no mistakes.
Even if years later, some judge decides retroaxctively that the robocop DID make a mistake .... your bones have already been broken, and nothing can undo the violence.
It is an automated life-destroying machine.
And the definition of what makes the robocop beat you up in your own bed can change any time.
What if AfD gets >50% next time on the federal elections, do you think that CSAM material will remain the only thing on the blacklist?
I also think that we should all look at ourselves, at our friends, at our families, and at our neighbors and ask ourselves, and ask THEM, to their faces:
"Are there so many people here, really, sharing CSAM online, to justify the total and complete oppressive surveillance 24/7 of every single one of us, in everything we do, in every private conversation we have?"
There aren't. The question is rhetorical.
And then maybe we can ask ourselves if there aren't much better ways to protect children.
And what perhaps the real cost and the hidden goal of #ChatControl is.
Endless rage at commentators that say things like "Kids these days are addicted to their devices" because:
1. Look at adults. We are too.
2. Why do you think that is? Perhaps because we built cities where you NEED to drive to go anywhere and EVERYTHING costs a ton of money that young ppl don't have?
3. When young ppl DO hang out together they get called loiterers, troublemakers and get the police called.
4 The solution they have is to ban their phones instead of listening to their needs.

There are definitely times where I wish bartering was a more common thing.

Wow, this is actually insanely cool 
I've loved the prospect of a totally open, patent unencumbered chipset that Intel or ARM don't have dictatorial powers over. RISC-V seems like it's early days in the consumer sphere, but it's awesome to see it coming to laptops from more established brands.
The Verge: The Framework Laptop 13 is about to become one of the world’s first RISC-V laptops

Modular computer company Framework is working with DeepComputing on a new mainboard for the Framework Laptop 13 that uses a RISC-V processor instead of Intel, AMD, or Arm.Sean Hollister (The Verge)
@tilton I wish they'd go BLOBless / open UEFI firmwares too (Libreboot / Coreboot)

Fuck me sideways my mate just shared a fursuit head photoset that made me realize what kinds of seams I actually love to see, and the kinds of seams I always want Calyo to have: sewn fabric seams. 🤩
And I'm now imagining Calyo sometimes mimicking the soft, svelte texture of having neoprene skin. 🥰
If I ever get an actual fursuit it's going to be made using neoprene just like this one:

Commission piece.. Spike is a fullsuit, however the customer was a little too large for me to take proper full body photos.. He is made ...www.furaffinity.net

Should I start replying with moans when people post links to "articles" which are actually links to giant computer programs to download to my computer and run; programs which may or may not eventually display an article on my screen and/or try to hack my computer and/or track my behaviour?
Ie, should I start complaining about toots with links that don't work without JavaScript turned on?
If you're in London, I encourage you to visit the national covid memorial wall on the south bank of the Thames. It is about 500m long, between Westminster Bridge and Lambeth Palace, facing Westiminster Palace.
I found it by accident this morning and I really wasn't prepared for the scale of it or the notes written by the bereaved. It stands as a memorial to the 240,000 people who died from COVID in the UK, and a monument to the incompetence of the Johnson government.
It will make you sad, and it should also make you angry.
I feel this is true for all the people here on the fediverse in our autistic and ND communities.
