RE: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@TomF/116444325649569352The series rules is that there are a certain number of book/words in the series, you can only be re-nominated after you add a certain number of words to the series, and if the series wins, it's no longer eligible to win (or thereabouts, I'm going off the top of my head).

Historically, most blackouts have occurred during moments of intense political tension. But authorities are increasingly using them as a tool to preempt dissent. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/digital-hopes-real-power-rise-network-shutdowns

La FCC prohibió la venta de nuevos enrutadores extranjeros excusándose en la ciberseguridad. Una medida torpe que ignora el verdadero problema: los dispositivos IoT vulnerables, sin importar dónde se fabriquen. Necesitamos seguridad técnica, no prohibiciones ciegas. https://www.eff.org/es/deeplinks/2026/04/banning-new-foreign-routers-mistargets-products-fix-real-problem

It doesn’t happen every day, but Reddit moderators can get threatened or sued for simply removing a post. If it goes to court, Section 230 is what protects them. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/internet-still-works-reddit-empowers-community-moderation

Shout out to @degville for excellent use of “autonomy” vs “sovereignty” on this week’s @latenightlinux - the same thing I’ve been using as much as possible when talking about growing our (inter)national digital choices and options since the start of this year. Good term 👌🏻

What gets mandated in NY gets sold everywhere. A surveillance requirement for 3D printers, buried in NY's budget bill, wouldn't just affect NYers. It would become the de facto national standard. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/stop-new-yorks-attack-3d-printing

Palantir touts its human rights policy. But its tools help ICE run dragnet raids, detain people with no criminal record, and retaliate against protesters. Legal boilerplate is not human rights due diligence. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/palantir-has-human-rights-policy-its-ice-work-tells-different-story

MEMO:The all-gnome space program is not a “gimmick” and is simply a practical means of reducing payload. The Gnomish Space Corps will allow for more efficient transport of scientific equipment and supplies to space stations and research centers.#Shadowrun
