‼️ Be ready to lose even more reliable and credible news sources if the #JCPA passes.

It’s no secret that this terrible bill could make it harder for us to get access to timely, accurate information.

And it’s not too late to stop it: https://www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/tell-congress-protect-our-access-to-credible-news/

Adding fuel to the fire of disinfo, hurting local journalism, and boosting Big Media monopolies…that’s what we’d get if the #JCPA passes.

Make it stop 🐦SpeakerPelosi—this bill should NEVER be a part of must-pass legislation.

Everyone: call your reps at https://www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/tell-congress-protect-our-access-to-credible-news/

RED ALERT, please boost! We got word this morning that Senate leadership has cut a deal to include #JCPA in the must-pass #NDAA.

This is a terrible, Rupert Murdoch backed bill that essentially creates a "link tax" and would make Big Tech and big media cartels even more intertwined. AND, apparently what Schumer "traded" for it was ... the vaccine mandate for the US military. I kid you not.

@team has a contact-congress tool here, please contact your Senators!

I'd like to remind you that if you don't understand why someone has chosen to implement a technology in a different way than you would have

Or uses different hardware or software than you

it means they have different constraints and goals and desires.

It doesn't make your choices better, or worse, than theirs.

It’s not about whether Zuckerberg is good or bad, vampire or human. It’s about getting to a place where we don’t have to care."

I’d much rather see Apple unban sex than ban the bird site

Mastodon Tip Of The Day: you can take pictures of cute animals and then post them ​

It seems no matter where I go, I find myself wishing that companies would employ (engineering) historians.

Someone who would interview employees and read docs and then write chapters about each major component of a company and how it got to be the way it did.
