I'm not going to talk about Bluesky anymore for a bit, but I know folks are coming back here after hanging out there for a while, and I want to encourage Fedi users not to gloat, not to be jerks about it.
And if you're just (re)joining us on Fedi, like all affinity groups, you're going to run into enthusiasts who are gloating, but I promise most of us are just happy you're here and want to help make this place awesome for you. <3
Are robotaxis safer than human-driven cars?
As David Zipper reports, Waymos have driven 127 million miles, and been involved in 2 fatalities. That's twice the rate of human-driven cars. And they have yet to deploy at scale.
They're about to be allowed onto highways...

New: DHS is lying to you.
At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis. Shots clearly fired while vehicle already turning away from the officer. But DHS lied. Trump lied. Noem lied. Even judges have catalogued DHS' serial lying

🧵 My sense of justice was triggered by #Palantir corporate gaslighting two Swiss investigative journalists on LinkedIn.
This is something most people won’t even see, but I was angry, so I looked while my kid was still asleep.
Here’s what it looks like when tech bros attack journalists while you and I have too much food over Christmas.
Two Swiss journalists spent a year filing 59 #FOIA requests to document Palantir’s 7-year campaign to sell surveillance software to Swiss authorities (army and health services in particular).

The Swiss army’s internal report concluded they couldn’t rule out US intelligence accessing data through Palantir systems, despite reassurances.
Their story hit The Guardian, and #UK MPs are now questioning £825M in Palantir contracts.
The journalists were rejoicing on LinkedIn. It’s a big deal to have your story picked up by mainstream UK media, especially after a year of hard work.
This is where it gets ugly.
A new bill introduced in the U.S. House on August 1 threatens to block overseas Americans from voting in federal elections. The bill text isn't available yet, but we're preparing our teams to push back! What you can do RIGHT NOW: Go to votefromabroad.org and request your absentee ballot for this year. Then ask every American abroad you know to do the same! We'll update you as soon as we know more: https://www.democratsabroad.org/hr4851_new_threat_to_overseas_voting_rights_introduced_in_congress
