France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU. We must stop them now! | Tuta

An amendment to the “Narcotrafic” law is moving to the French National Assembly. Remind your legislators that a backdoor for the good guys only is not possible.

I need to get my life together but I'm kind of waiting to see if the world is going to end before I put any real effort in.
If the fastest way to get around in the city is your car, it is not a sign of the supremacy of cars. It is a sign of bad urban design. #climate #climatechange #urbanism #waroncars #cars #systemchangenotclimatechange #system

Was reminded of this image again today:

"I don't wear đŸłïžâ€đŸŒˆ [queer pride] items to tell you who's in my bed. I wear them so the family across the street knows they are safe. So the couple in the restaurant know they aren't alone. So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won't judge. I wear because you make them hide."

Ever since seeing this, I have been wearing progressive pride buttons on each of my jackets and coats (and a cap).

"What I didn’t expect, and don’t think I could have foreseen, is how incredibly cringe it would all be. I have been prepared for evil, for greed, for cruelty, for injustice – but I did not anticipate that the people in power would also be such huge losers."

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg’s desperation to be cool as they suck up to Donald Trump is so cringe it makes my skin crawl

The Guardian

Sov ikke i skyggen af fortidens triumfer. Brug jeres evner til at tjene fÊllesskabet og styrke den stat, I er en del af. Kun derved opnÄr I sand frihed og et meningsfuldt liv.

OK, det er mÄske nok lidt voldsomt at sammenligne med Seneca, men manden havde styr pÄ sine prioriteter! Jeg er ikke nÄet til fuld stoisk ro, men jeg bryder nu nogle lÊnker og foretager sporskifte.

Visdommen hvisker, at mennesket ikke mÄ hvile i for lÊngst mestrede fÊrdigheder.

I said it many times before and I will keep saying it:

No matter how dystopian the world feels, the most dangerous threat to privacy is giving up.

If you just give up and cooperate, because it's easier than fighting to opt-out, you have lost the battle without even a fight.

Privacy is only dead if we let it die.
Privacy is a human right.
Don't let it die.

gotta say, douglas adams prepared me better for our absurd future than isaac asimov. like, spending hours explaining to a replicator AI how to make an excellent cup of tea, only to have the AI then lock up 100% of the ships computers resources mid-battle as it tries to comply with the request, that does seem like an increasingly more plausible scenario than a scientist planning a techno cult centuries in advance to prevent a great calamity
