Bad Keyboards Thread: So I like to make intentionally bad keyboards, in part because of my unfulfilled blood feud with mechanical keyboard enthusiasts, but mainly because I like being a chaos gremlin. Most recently, the Juggling Keyboard: bsky.app/profile/foon...

RIP TikTok. The ultimate example of the olds not getting it. It is especially ironic that we're freaking out about a foreign owned social network when we're letting untrustworthy figures straight through the door over here

Reminder that Mitt Romney explicitly said the rationale behind the tiktok ban was pro Palestinian content. The renewed push last year was explicitly to help Israel conduct a genocide without scrutiny on social media. Imperial boomerang in action. www.axios.com/local/salt-l...

Sen. Romney links TikTok ban to pro-Palestinian content

Critics say his remarks belie the "national security" motive and expose free speech suppression.

We shouldn’t be remembering, we shouldn’t even have to think of anyone who is transgender as different at all. But until everyone can figure out that trans rights ARE human rights, we must remember them so they are never forgotten.

Big story from @wired.com overnight on data brokers selling location information about US military bases overseas. btw @wyden.senate.gov has been warning about this for A WHILE NOW

Experts caution that foreign governments could use this data to identify individuals with access to sensitive areas; terrorists or criminals could decipher when US nuclear weapons are least guarded; or spies and other nefarious actors could leverage embarrassing information for blackmail.

“The unregulated data broker industry poses a clear threat to national security,” says Ron Wyden, a US senator from Oregon with more than 20 years overseeing intelligence work. “It is outrageous that American data brokers are selling location data collected from thousands of brave members of the armed forces who serve in harms’ way around the world.”

Wyden approached the US Defense Department in September after initial reporting by BR and netzpolitik.org raised concerns about the tracking of potential US service members. DoD failed to respond. Likewise, Wyden's office has yet to hear back from members of US president Joe Biden's National Security Council, despite repeated inquiries. The NSC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“There is ample blame to go around,” says Wyden, “but unless the incoming administration and Congress act, these kinds of abuses will keep happening, and they'll cost service members' lives.”

2024 is almost here, and I’m already preemptively fearing for the next 4-years…So I should probably stop putting off all the things I want to do, but don’t, because they’re not perfect yet and maybe just do them. 😳
