Mike Masnick ✅This is hilariously stupid. I mean, just painfully stupid. And, yes, it's real.

InfoSec and data protection GRC stuff @trialbytruth elsewhere. Happy to be here
@mmasnick Smells like a cover story for a FUBAR. Seen a note that Google hosting inherited was due for renewal on the 30th. First reports of issues in CA and first mention of rate limiting. Smells to high heaven. Ofc speculating. But what about Musk trying to style out an investor scaring mess feels out of character?
Texas Observer“They talk about how it’s the parent’s choice, ‘power to the parents.’ But it’s not the parent’s choice. It’s the private school’s choice.”
#Arizona's public schools are in freefall since the state began diverting tax funds to private corporations. McHam Investigative Fellow @josephinelee reveals that #Texas lawmakers want to follow the same corrupt playbook by using #disabled students to dismantle public #education: https://www.texasobserver.org/voucher-program-arizona-privitization-public-schools-disabilities/
NoidReposting here since our community has effectively split.
Cancer finally got the better of TryCatchHCF. He was "a real mensch" as they'd say. A genuinely nice person with a big heart. Our community is poorer without him in it. Rest in peace, Joe.

Aral BalkanToday, you can choose not to drive a Tesla if you don’t want Elon Musk, Inc. knowing everywhere you go.
Tomorrow, you might have to limit where you live because you won’t live in a Google Home and reconsider having 20/20 vision again in exchange for the artificial lens company seeing everything you see.
Privacy is not something you can “vote with your wallet” on. We either protect it as a human right or we lose it altogether.
Popping in as heard the news about @TryCatchHCF. So sorry to all close to him. What a kind warrior soul gone. He was an online friend who brightened my days whenever we interacted. Many tears in early hours. If folk know of a charity his family might want donations to do let me know

@jerry Thank you again for doing so Jerry. You are are very much appreciated
@mojo It feels like the fail fast truism of his SF generation. Tinker, tank it, take the data and algorithmic product, plus some destruction tested loyalists, and do it all again. No harm, no foul... for them. Few VC buddy calls and all is well
