I got into #FLOSS because it was a community-driven approach to making computers empower people. Now, #opensource means "free training data for someone else's LLM."

I could ask, "What is the future of open source software," but I think that's the wrong question. I'd rather contemplate what community-driven, human-centering computing can look like in the era of scraping and slop.

"The San Francisco-based group conducted a 10-month analysis of Flock Safety’s servers and found thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country — including TPD — used the cameras to investigate protest activity."

"St. Clair County Jail is one of the thousands of jails around the country that have banned in-person visiting, leaving families to pay for costly phone and video calls that charge by the minute as the only way to stay in touch. Due to such policies, families like Proch’s have gone months without seeing each other and missed various milestones, holidays, and other special moments in their lives. Recognizing the toll that the absence of visits takes, several families sued jails with bans on in-person visits as part of the “Right to Hug” campaign.

A lawsuit against the jail in St. Clair County is pending an appeal after a lower court ruled against the families. In January, a separate lawsuit against the Genesee County Jail in Michigan was dismissed not long after the jail reinstated in-person visits, and is also pending in the Michigan Court of Appeals. Meanwhile, a lawsuit in Adams County, Colorado, filed last fall, is seeking financial compensation for damages for people who weren’t able to visit their loved ones in the Adams County Detention Facility over the last two years.

St. Clair County did not respond to Prism’s requests for comment, and Adams County declined to comment pending litigation."
