TIL about column(1), as in "sensors -A | column"

Longer-term software updates increase the lifespan - and thus the value - of your device.

The Canadian Senate has a chance to stop the dangerous surveillance powers inherent in Bill C-22. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/10/canadians-are-running-out-time-oppose-dangerous-c-22-surveillance-bill

Canada’s dangerous C-22 surveillance bill is now before the Senate. It will force tech companies to build surveillance into their products, threatening everyone’s security and privacy. There’s still time to speak out. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/10/canadians-are-running-out-time-oppose-dangerous-c-22-surveillance-bill

More bad news from #Canada: bill C-22, the colorfully named “Lawful Access Act”, more-or-less makes government malware mandatory and more-or-less makes #encryption #security illegal, putting innocent Canadians in danger of theft and violence at the hands of criminals.

This bill has passed the House of Commons and is now before the Senate.

@fasterandworse What comes to my mind when I think of Firefox?

I've already made an illustration about that.

ElixirOffice: a first attempt to recreate a 100% open source, for people used to MS Office UI.
Started from a personal need (read the reason on the GitHub page), forked from EuroOffice/OnlyOffice.
For: Linux, Windows, MacOS + server version.
AI-assisted project.
Happy to read first tests feedback.

PS I know someone released an open-source MS Office clone a few days ago, didn't have time to test it yet

“My big concern is that automakers love to collect data,” EFF's Matthew Guariglia told @WIRED. “With autonomous vehicles, there’s even more data to collect. And the more data they collect, the more they’re going to find reasons to sell it.” https://www.wired.com/story/when-the-robotaxis-are-watching-you/

🚨 GOOGLE IS KILLING ANDROID FREEDOM. 🚨

This #DiDay we call on you to take action & sign the petition:
https://www.change.org/p/keep-android-open-stop-google-from-limiting-apk-file-usage

Because Google must not decide what you can & can't download on YOUR Android device.

This undermines one of Android’s defining features: the freedom to install software from wherever you choose. 😤

#Android is supposed to be open, & your phone should be yours → NOT GOOGLES.

It’s time to support open alternatives like @GrapheneOS ✊
