We’re in an exciting time for users who want to take back control from major platforms like Twitter and Facebook. However, this new environment comes with challenges and risks for user privacy, so we need to get it right and make sure networks like the Fediverse and Bluesky are mindful of past...
Thanks for the heads up @pimterry. Seems like #firefox has become the last bastion for privacy. #orionbrowser might also be a good alternative but I’m not 100% sure if they excluded this specific feature.

Turns out that Web Environment Integrity proposal everybody is getting angry about (imo very legitimately) was effectively already shipped by Apple in Safari last year: https://httptoolkit.com/blog/apple-private-access-tokens-attestation/ That means if Chromium ships it too, we could quickly move to 90%+ of browser traffic being attested. Not good!
Red alert! For the last six months, EFF, our supporters, and dozens of other groups have been sounding the alarm about several #BadInternetBills that have been put forward in Congress. We’ve made it clear that these bills are terrible ideas, but Congress is now considering packaging them together—possibly into must-pass legislation.
Thank you for sharing this @SCZoomers. Very good read in todays crazy times.
“…on the other side of fear and despair is love. Fear leads to grief, which leads to love, which leads to grounded and sustained action.
….we must awaken ourselves to our numbness, and give ourselves permission to make the brave choice to instead, feel.”

For those still optimistic around comprehensive #technology (CT) saving us, I’d love to learn about and #co2 capture breakthroughs that maybe aren’t widely known about as they should be. In the meantime, I am not so sure how #LLMs and #generativeAI will make the planet more livable for us outside of bridging the labor gap in a handful of areas. As for #food, I have major doubts about the future of lab grown meat… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V0zCf4Yup34
With second order impacts around the corner of the 2nd half of this year, it feels like we’re continuing down the track of “business as usual 2” (BAU2) from the #limitstogrowth theory

Attached: 1 image I'm finding it a little hard to work today with this in my head. Antarctic ice extent is now 6.4 standard deviations below the mean. That is, I'm reliably told, a one in 13 billion year event. We're about to see a lot of shit hit a lot of fans. And we are far from ready. Business as usual is over. Politics as usual is over. We need to be putting our effort into building systems that can help us survive what greed and power and wilful blindness have wrought. #ClimateCrisis #Antarctica
Case and point from @kimzetter.

From the UK to the US - I feel like this type of moment shows how those in a position to govern don’t fully understand #technology. How can you break encryption for everyone else but yourself and expect that ability to not be exploited by bad actors?
If you value privacy, please call your senators and boost this post. 🔒
A bill requiring social media companies, encrypted communications providers and other online services to report drug activity on their platforms to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has advanced to the Senate floor.
Defiance!
