Harvard's TraceFi appears to be the introduction of a powerful new location surveillance for everyone on their campus. Students should not be asked to sacrifice their privacy to use this technology. https://covidtech.harvard.edu/howitworks.html

Schools were already operating as testbeds for mass surveillance before the advent of COVID-19, from kindergarten through college levels. We shouldn't give them another tool in their surveillance arsenal. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/02/schools-are-pushing-boundaries-surveillance-technologies

The Constitution requires disclosure of the source code of programs used by prosecutors to prove an accused’s guilt in order to ensure that the evidence is reliable. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/08/eff-and-aclu-tell-federal-court-forensic-software-source-code-must-be-disclosed
@lightweight It always seems to; then it gets bloody, and it gets to the next point. The good news is that millennials now represent a majority of the USA population, and they trend more progressive. The next generation is even more left leaning, so the future looks brighter, if they can weather climate change without a change in demeanor.

Really glad I chose to put 'toot' and 'newsboat' on my Debian system. It really makes for a good CLI social experience.

Looking at the CDC excess death numbers versus the mortality rate, it looks like COVID-19 is saving lives as well as taking lives. Excess death percentages greater than the mortality rate percentage mean less people are dying of other causes (probably due to less social contact).
Of course the excess death numbers only account for death due to contracting COVID-19, and not due to side effects of the government and media handling of COVID-19 (suicides, starvation, exposure, etc.).
