“San Francisco went from being a pioneer in responsible ways of controlling surveillance and protecting people’s privacy to one of the most surveilled cities in the country with very few guardrails, in just a few short years,” EFF’s Matthew Guariglia told Xpress Magazine.https://xpressmagazine.org/29193/all/surveillance-city-how-sfs-prop-e-has-impacted-local-communities/

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Deluxe Angel Pin. If heaven exists, my biggest fear is that I'll struggle to make conversation with the biblically accurate angels up there. I might not have much in common with the giant winged eyeballs.https://collabs.shop/xtiztj

@webhat We're doing this essentially at cost as a non-profit. We pay for people travelling here, otherwise it's really about showcasing local talent.The payment for speakers come from attendees, and I'd rather showcase people who are just here to share their enthusiasm and knowledge, than someone who's a professional speaker. All these people have jobs, and it's advertising for consultants. Costs come primarily from the venue and food. Venue sponsorships are impossible these days.Keeping the price low is an important part of our mandate and community accessibility (although I feel like we could do better on the wider accessibility piece.)

If you are blocked by someone whose opinion I trust, and then complain about being blocked by them, the likelyhood of being blocked by me is 100%

That blows my mind.

Sometimes I'm a little sad that someone has been going through a thing and I've not been there to support them, because of spoons, not paying attention, or other life things. Or I've completed missed something good happening to someone, because I've been too preoccupied with other stuffAnd then they message me to reach out for support, and I will be there to support themAnyway, so I'm going to a yoga class on Sunday…
