I'm on a quest to find the best low sugar and low sodium versions of all the things I enjoy that usually are loaded with those. The newest search is for an alternative to PopTarts.

"Surveillance is not safety," EFF's Rindala Alajaji said, via @nbcbayarea.com. "That’s why EFF and the ACLU of Northern California are suing the city of San Jose on behalf of SIREN and CAIR - because in a single year, San Jose PD ran over 250,000 warrantless searches on this location data."

“In some ways, Axon is actually worse than Flock,” EFF's @maassive.bsky.social told @indyweek.bsky.social. “Flock never had mobile license plate cameras, and Axon does. They install them on patrol cars, and that means patrol cars become like roving data vacuums.”

“While estimating age based on user behavior is less invasive than requiring users to upload photos, credit card information or a state-issued ID, age-gating the internet creates dangerous new forms of surveillance, censorship, and exclusion,” EFF’s @davidgreene.bsky.social told @cnet.com.

Digitizing incarcerated people’s mail means companies can store those scans for years, which can chill speech, EFF’s @caragagliano.bsky.social told @jpradio.bsky.social. “We've talked to a lot of people...who stopped sending mail because they didn't want it to be scanned and put in this database.”

“They don’t have to go to a judge, they don’t need to justify why they’re making a search of all this historic (Flock ALPR) data, they can just sit (with) a computer and run a search. And so it is tailor-made for this abuse,” EFF’s @mguariglia.bsky.social told Atlanta’s WSB ABC2.

Saw someone wearing an Initial D shirt today in Publix so that was really cool, and people should wear stuff that shows their interests more often. I've been trying to get a new band tee here and there and need to get more anime shirts as well.

It’s one of my favorites and I’m actually rewatching it with a couple friends since they’ve never seen it. I’m surprised there’s not a Blu-ray release for it but hopefully a good one will be made before long.

I hope you enjoy it when you do! I think I got the collector's edition DVDs from RightStuf way back, but I should also get the series on Blu-ray when it's on sale. Have you seen any AMVs for the series that you really enjoyed?

I should rewatch this series, which was one of the first I got into after returning to anime. If I remember correctly this was perhaps the one time it really showed Moka with those absolute FANGS.

Those are some pretty wild limitations on their streaming feature.. I was just considering trying that a bit, but now I might pass. Honestly I think the time for each tier should be tripled at least, but of course you'll be able to buy more time.

Relationships, whether friends or a partner, aren't always 50/50. For example, sometimes it'll be 20/80, sometimes it'll be 80/20. But it should never be imbalanced one way all the time. If you're constantly putting in all the effort for minimal in return, the 'relationship' is not worth it.

Still hoping to play this one, but quite bummed it won't be coming to PC for the foreseeable future. Kinda wish they hadn't shown nearly as much in that story trailer because a lot of that would have been a nice surprise, but maybe that's just me. I've enjoyed their Spider-Man games so far though.
