7 years of testimony. Near-unanimous legislature. TechNet rewrote it before Hochul signed.

NY's Digital Fair Repair Act:
— post-July 2023 devices only
— assemblies instead of parts
— business/gov devices exempt
— no security codes required

This is about manufacture control and enshitifcation of #3dpriniting not about guns. @[email protected] Do better, this kills tech and manufaction here in #nys

Made a big drive from #NC to #NYS (about 13 hours over two days) and enjoyed my fav tunes on #Deezer.

I've got a sweet tooth for prog, indie rock, a lot of great female voices.

`Headquartered in Albany, New York, Anderon will operate a 300mm quantum wafer fab and offer its manufacturing services to competing quantum hardware vendors. The deal was the centerpiece of a broader $2.013 billion federal quantum portfolio split across nine companies, the largest single quantum R&D commitment in U.S. history.`

I think the #LIRR strike was basically like undoing #CongestionPricing. My kids' bus has returned to taking 1.5 hours each way rather than 45-60mins.

Now that the strike is over, let's hope traffic returns to normal. It would be a great time to raise the congestion pricing toll to its originally planned level, though. #NYC #MTA #NYS

Fuck you NY state retirement! I just collected my dad’s ashes and when I called to be sure there would be money for his internment, your phone system literally hung up on me without letting me talk to someone. That’s just fucked up and painful at this moment.

Why I will never work #NYS again.
