About trans rights:

They're a wedge issue. If you think it's okay to deprive trans people of the right to exist in the public sphere then you're saying human rights are conditional and/or can be withdrawn. Which puts you on a slippery slope to no human rights for anyone.

When you trace the roots of the modern anti-trans movement they boil down to some combination of bigotry and billionaire bullshit— the oligarchs think rights are for the rich.

So: trans-rights are human rights. No exceptions.

Any others?

Many thanks to Mirko Zorz and the team at @helpnetsecurity magazine for allowing me to rant about my dislike for the phrase "Human are the weakest link" when it comes to #Cybersecurity

In fact humans are our "last line of defence" when all our tech has failed or been bypassed

7 Reasons Kids Are Overrated Until Suddenly They’re Your Entire Support Infrastructure

I am currently recovering from minor surgery... but nothing in surgery is minor as I struggle to move and need assistance with pretty much everything. Thanksfully I am on painkillers. Not the glamorous sort that inspire a new Operating System or terrible life choices in Las Vegas, but enough to leave me staring at the ceiling wondering just how far my water bottle actually is from me.

We believe in an open and safe internet for everyone in all EU countries.

Major online platforms have shared their latest reports on how they are combating disinformation. Since we brought these commitments under the Digital Services Act, they are no longer optional.

Tech companies now have a clear legal benchmark they must meet, giving us the tools to ensure they follow through on their responsibilities.

Transparency is key to a safe digital space ↓
