"An extremely invasive surveillance capability such as this should require the strongest judicial oversight and confirmation that such intrusion is necessary and [a] proportionate response to the crime being investigated," EFF’s @cooperq told @npr.https://www.npr.org/2026/04/07/nx-s1-5776799/ice-spyware-privacy

3D printing has been an engine for grassroots innovation—from life-saving medical devices to everyday repairs. New mandates threaten the open commons that made it all possible. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/print-blocking-anti-consumer-permission-print-part-1

Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Garter Belt Dagger. It's a very cool blade for women. Less so for men. I get some very weird looks when I reach down into my pants to pull out my dagger.https://collabs.shop/douuuk

@webhat Oh yes, I have an old school friend who lives abroad and even though in a wheelchair now tries to visit #Amsterdam grom time to time. Everything is fine until she leaves the tram. The tram stop is still accessible, even ridiculously spacious, but that is where it stops. Completely if O rpuld have to push her. Fortunately her husband is still strong, but Amsterdam should take #Barcelona as an example. Wonderful pavement over there.

Some people have seemed confused about what my Low Quality Facts account is, so I made this graph to help you all understand it.

@m0bi Narodowa instancja? Mogliby. To chyba nie byłby wielki koszt. A może wieść o tym miejscu dotarłaby do kolejnej części społeczeństwa. Obawiam się jednak, że bojówki partyjne mogą zechcieć rozbić tu swoje namioty przed bitwą.Choć z drugiej strony byłby to ciekawy test dla filtrów Mastodona. Przesiewałbym treści aż miło, a na granicy mojej stanąłby wysoki mur. ;)

Po tym, jak Ministerstwo Cyfryzacji odpaliło mSzyfr czyli Komunikator Narodowy oparty na #Matrix, zaczyna mi się wydawać prawdopodobnym odpalenie Sociala Narodowego opartego o #Mastodon A Wam?🤔 #MinCyfry #MinisterstwoCyfryzacji

Talking to a friend who is visiting Ukrainian wounded in the Netherlands, because he's able bodied he never realised that many, so called, accommodations that are made for people who need to use a wheelchair are more performative than usefulWith one of the people he was taking to an event— former soldier, strong upper body, in a wheelchair because he has no legs anymore—the wheelchair ramps they encountered at the event were difficult to navigate. Some of them were difficult to get up, even with two people pushing the wheelchairDropped curbs that have subsided and are difficult to navigate, and the eternal issue of cars or bikes parked in such a way as to make passing inaccessibleSometimes one needs to see the issues through the eyes of another, to see the issues

This was interesting to me because when I decided to get serious about making music I went out of my way to get a Mac because it seemed most music stuff was native there to begin with, and otherwise it offered the most frictionless experience. Making music on Windows was always a smidgen... clunky.https://youtu.be/UaY23TSa4-0

“As the saying goes, there’s no such thing as a free lunch,” EFF’s Matthew Guariglia told @sfgate. “Police may still have to request the footage from either the user or Ring, but they clearly consider it part of a larger network of police surveillance.” https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/free-cameras-milpitas-police-22188181.php
