The government can't justify its TikTok ban by simply asserting national security interests. The First Amendment requires that any regulation of speech like the ban be precise and necessary, even for national security concerns. https://www.eff.org/press/releases/government-has-extremely-heavy-burden-justify-tiktok-ban-eff-tells-appeals-court

As #Mozilla is busy adding AI crap to #Firefox, I would like to point out that it's about 13 years since they removed the #RSS button from default Firefox GUI, and six years since RSS support was completely dropped from Firefox.

welcome back dear!
i sure hope this shitshow is finally over.

The worst kind of tech hype is when something is portrayed as inevitable and unstoppable, with criticism or doubt blithely dismissed as "they don't get it".

Just because a giant tech company pours vast amounts of money down a toilet, that doesn't mean the toilet is going to start spewing gold coins into the air.
