Another Black man falsely accused of a crime and arrested because of a bad facial recognition search. Fourth or so we know about; probably many more we don't. Arrested while driving to a family Thanksgiving and kept in jail for 7 days, even though he'd never been in the same state as the crime scene

Here's @team statement on this:

We call for #MadisonSquareGarden to immediately end all use of #facialrecognition and #biometric #surveillance tech.

And we call on lawmakers to enact a ban on all use of facial recognition in places of public accommodation, as defined by the ADA.

@katherined gotta love Joomla! Been building sites on the CMS for about 15 years or so and volunteering with them for about 10. So many amazing volunteers.

I've been invited to do an AMA on Reddit tomorrow. Verifying that's really me!

@mglaman @duane @katherined @jessicasachs @Shini92 indeed! The work he and others have done have absolutely transformed major Drupal upgrades — super simple now!

@katherined my favorite undermaintained project is #XCSoar https://xcsoar.org
Its a GPL2 FOSS tactical glide computer that many #paraglider and #soaring pilots rely on for making 500+km flights just with wind and sun. The appstore download has 100'000 users and very few contributers: https://github.com/XCSoar/XCSoar/graphs/contributors
