“The internet lets young people connect outside of the controlled spheres of their parents’ worldview — and that’s the danger that proponents of age verification are terrified of,” EFF’s @ericabp.bsky.social told @Salon.com. www.salon.com/2026/02/11/...
“It's part of this whole rush to just throw everything into the data-driven machine-learning nexus, and then hoping something more good will come out of it, your private information be damned,” EFF’s @legind.bsky.social told @CNET.com. www.cnet.com/home/intern...
Digitaalinen itsenäisyys – Suomen seuraava kohtalonkysymys 🇫🇮
Suomi on riippuvainen yhdysvaltalaisista teknologiajäteistä. Riippuvuus ei lähitulevaisuudessa vähenny vaan syvenee.

This isn’t just “owning the libs” — this is the highest office in the nation using technology to lie to the entire world. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
a brief summary of what it’s like to be online in 2025
It’s clear that trans people face unique, advanced, and persistent threats—online and off. Here are some strategies for resisting the tech-enabled violence that trans people face. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
The person who posted the screenshot has never played Final Fantasy 7.
The right wing culture warriors were always fake gamers.
Google and Apple should add a device-level AI permission, just like it does for other potentially invasive privacy features, like location, to their phones. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
Maybe it's just me but I feel like they've started to advertise AI in the same way as like, alcohol. Or nicotine. Or casinos.
Like genuinely it feels more and more like the business plan is to get people hooked and dependant.

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: In a dangerous evening escalation of the anti-porn war on the gaming industry, indie platform @itch.io has banned a number of NSFW titles and delisted thousands of others.
Trans authors are caught in the crossfire.
MasterCard, Visa, and anti-porn group Collective Shout drove the ban.
Be angry at this even if what you create/buy/play/read/etc is SFW, because the ultimate goal is to ban all queer content of any sort, as well as any speech the right-wing puritans disagree with.
Why was I trying to have a separate political account at Mastodon when I never know which account to use and the fact I exist is becoming increasingly political?
In addition to urgent need to preserve trans literature, good Qs to get you started helping back up any data. Not just gov docs; we need folks preseving fan fic+art, Flickr albums, webcomics, social threads, emuseum items, whatever you care about that fuels you participating. Friendly how-to:
Plasma 6.3 is Pixel Perfect!
This is what you can expect in your next update: massive steps in the support and configuration of drawing tablets, pixel perfect window placing and zoom, extended hardware monitoring, even more customization possibilities, and so much more.

I have been waiting for this, but today there are a lot of distractions needing my attention and taking time I would rather use for reading, but maybe tomorrow
Drawing shows 6 visible blocks with more behind that are stacked in a row like dominos. the first one reads Trans Rights, the second Gay Rights + freedom of expression, the third one reads Women's rights + free love. The title of the image says United we stand - Divided we fall.
This is an amazing illustration of a deep truth...
Right up there with the Commander Vimes Boots Theory of Socio-economic Unfairness

Paperback books, Unexploded Remnants by Elaine Gallagher. The cover has a woman running through a market with a glowing device in her satchel
Hi @scalzi.com, could I ask you please for a signal boost for a debut trans author? Unexploded Remnants, my first novella, out today from Tor in all the places. Action, adventure, a trans main character, and inspirations from Stargate to Indiana Jones
New from 404 Media, something we've been thinking about for a while: has Facebook just given up? The site is overrun with AI and scams, and the experts who used to help with content moderation there tell us Facebook has stopped asking them for help www.404media.co/has-facebook...
A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.
I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖
I am supposedly an adult so I choose to follow my alarm clock and go to school to learn cybersecurity even if my inner feline is telling me today would be a great day to just lie in bed with tea and kindle, maybe with a side of chocolate. Just when I was probably going to meet the cover character 😾🐾
Hi, I am Aminda, I got asthmatic cough from COVID-19 a month ago, I am not infectious, but feel better wearing a mask anyway.
This is my first post, so I may be #newhere, usually I think I am bad at introductions, but lately I have been acing it. I am also #asexual, trans, autistic, hsp, furry, etc
