@lunduke If only we could bring browsing the 90s web to modern computers. ;-)

@LeoSammallahti At least in the USA, options are dependent upon funding, not size. Public school funding comes from both public and private sources. Thus public schools with wealthier student pools have more options than schools with poor student pools.

Smaller schools are much more socially integrated than larger schools, which benefits the students much more.

The biggest driver of large school size is typically sports. A bigger talent pool wins state championships.

It is not ignorance that is the problem, but the illusion of knowledge.

@lunduke Objective data can be validated, so you aren't always swimming in a dark pool of sources. Even subjective data can be held up against various observations, so it too can be categorized in a personal manner.

Once one has a data model, Twitter can be turned into an echo chamber via blocks and mutes.

Echo chambers can be invaded; even they require safeguards. Even without invasion, they can become twitter-like with too broad a subject matter.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of activists and organizations in Massachusetts and around the country, including EFF, this week Boston joins the ranks of cities that have banned government use of face surveillance. eff.org/deeplinks/2020/06/vict

Saw another post about how Bernie was weak candidate and how if his supporters don't vote for Biden we're all going to die. It's 2016 all over again. The USA deserves whatever it gets. It won't be good...unless you're very rich. The world will continue to burn, but it might burn slower.

A data broker used protestors' cell phone information without their knowledge to release demographic estimates of recent protests against police violence. This is a huge invasion of privacy and yet another reason why we need robust data protection laws. buzzfeednews.com/article/carol

The law says all police training materials in California are supposed to be published online. But @CommissionPOST is allowing the people who train police on use of force and surveillance technology to claim copyright to block publication.

While EARN IT attempts to avoid acknowledging the elephant in the room—its attack on encryption—the Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act puts it at the center of a three-ring circus. eff.org/deeplinks/2020/06/sena

Rocket.Chat (self-hosted) has become indispensable for both the distributed organisations I work in over the past few years.

I can't understand why any organisation would commit their collaboration to overseas platforms like Slack, Discord, and MSFT Teams where you have to pay to access your own data... sort of like a ransom... Yup. Ransomware.

The United States has desperately needed a universal fiber broadband plan, and the Accessible, Affordable Internet for All Act is that plan.
