arrests for social media posts in Turkiye are already under way https://apnews.com/article/turkey-istanbul-mayor-arrest-crackdown-imamoglu-eb2f5f0582a32e0c15f881b54fda2ffc - and mark my words, this is only the beginning.

the international support towards people in various countries standing up for democratic values and against authoritarians, corrupt officials and dictators is as important as ever.

Mozilla is done as a company. their new privacy policy is an absolute fucking disaster and a stab in the back.

"To market our services" section is genuinely not much different from what Google is doing with Chrome; Review Checker is useless if you also push sponsored content as a part of it'; collecting "all data types to comply with applicable laws..." - this is all sad.

use LibreWolf instead for daily purposes.

"... Texas’s largest antiabortion organization launches an advertising campaign on Facebook and X to reach the husbands, boyfriends and sex partners of women who have had abortions in the state [...] recruiting them to file lawsuits against those who assisted the women in ending their pregnancies."

Sickening and evil beyond imagination.

it seems Youtube is beginning to massively block watching videos for non-logged in users after 60-70 seconds by throwing 403 errors - even if one doesn't use VPN

this platform becomes truly unusable with every day

with the news of LFGSS & Microcosm forums being shut down, we have this cynical opinion piece in Guardian - because they simply don't care as long as they can apply an unworkable band-aid solution on issues with children & social media

it's time for politicians to get a education course on how technology works. even plenty of progressive ones don't understand either

and here is a second victim of Online Safety Act in UK: Linux Gaming forum

well done, Labour. you had a chance to either water down or completely repel Online Safety Act, and you blew it for the sake of "owning" big tech, while ensuring only big tech will afford these changes

@inthehands well, my understanding is that voting itself in USA is in itself a huge hurdle for third-party or independent candidates

In comparison, from what I see (and I don't live in USA so I can be entirely wrong ofc), among third parties only Yang's Forward somewhat approaches this correctly - not mentioning his TED talk about ranked choice voting

@inthehands Dan Savage was absolutely right 8 years ago about Jill Stein and the American Greens - even putting aside Stein's pro-Assadist and pro-Putinist position https://www.thestranger.com/politics/2016/07/19/24362128/dan-savage-on-jill-stein-just-no

@catsalad let's raise the stakes :D

If you're a citizen of EU, and regardless of whether you're a casual gamer or an avid one, this initiative is very important and I suggest you to sign it https://www.stopkillinggames.com/eci

The practices some of the publishers do (particularly "life service") influenced other tech industry - hence the definition of owning a product slowly fades away. And nowadays more and more gamers fall victim to that.
