The reality is that social media bans weaponize parents’ concerns about children’s safety to justify unprecedented levels of surveillance and censorship. Our new primer breaks down why these bans don’t work, who is harmed by them, and how we fight back. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/how-and-why-fight-back-against-social-media-bans

Why #FDroid for your #Android device? No need to "just trust us" about how we check, how we build and why we care, you can look at everything that we do as #FLOSS offers the transparency you want.

And what that means is that robust privacy legislation is a national security issue.

A robust publicly funded media is a national defence platform.

Media literacy delivered through well-funded public education system is a national defence strategy.

If you want to keep a functioning democratic society, then the people need to be able to discern truth from falsehood and secure their privacy. There are no alternatives.

Phew, this lifehack (stolen from @domi ) saved my butt so I'm just going to share it further.

Sure, it looks awful... but if you have windows facing south (or if you can't afford/your landlord doesn't allow you to mount sun-blocking curtains) this is a lifesaver.

In the current heatwave my apartment (according to temperature sensor on my desk) was already hitting 36*C inside despite window in the room being covered with a blanket. Standing in the kitchen in the afternoon made me feel dizzy within two minutes.

After applying the tinfoil to windows in the kitchen, over the few hours temperature dropped to 28*C. Tinfoil is so hot, that I can't keep my hand on the window for more than 4 seconds (so it's very close to 50*C).

Going to apply the tinfoil to the window in the room as well, it should reflect a lot of that heat and make blanket much colder as a result.

Something something Linux users don't need windows or something

Daily train service in Canada. For clarity, the operative word here is DAILY. The lines exist but there is no longer a daily service.
