The thing that was bad about "client side scanning" wasn't the client side content classification, it was the co-opting of the device to send "maybe crime" reports to third parties.

There are plenty of interesting and maybe valuable applications of actual client side scanning of content though I don't trust any of them to be done by companies who align themselves with authoritarians and bigots...

i don't do a lot of self-promotion, but apparently it's #musiciansday

We've gone from 88 vigilante vote challengers in Georgia in 2020 to 40,000 vigilantes, who are now operating in 44 states.

As of five weeks ago, they'd already challenged 851,000 voters, and I got word yesterday that they've now challenged more than A MILLION VOTERS!!!

Overwhelmingly, it’s voters of color that have been challenged — and 95% of them have no idea.

So, that's why it’s important to go to http://SaveYourVote.org and CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION — RIGHT NOW!!!

Pass it on!!!

I really hope this pans out: X-rays from carbon nanotubes shrink the radiation source from 20kg to a few hundred grams, and the aim is make a CT scanner a third the cost of the standard kind, and that can fit in an ambulance.
