Patent trolls still plague the software industry. Join EFF’s @alexhmoss tomorrow for a panel discussion about the best ways to defeat them. https://www.eff.org/event/defeating-software-based-patent-trolls
@LeoSammallahti At least there's still a middle class somewhere, in the USA, you're either upper class or a serf, although many won't admit that's the truth.

"New bioarchaeology research has shown how infectious diseases may have spread 4000 years ago, while highlighting the dangers" to the Earth's ecology "of" not "letting such diseases run rife."

Since humans have proved incapable of being good stewards of the environment, we probably should not be fighting against the various ways the environment tries to make its own corrections to the ecology of the Earth.
@lightweight You can always open it in Chrome and let Google translate it. Might not be desirable, but it works.

In the name of customer security, ATT, Verizon and Tmobile are partnering on a mobile auth service using customer account info as a unique identifier. Why do I think they have an ulterior motive with this unified customer identifier?

I hope courier #coops will flourish but skeptical whether courier businesses can be profitable regardless of the ownership model.
Even if you take 5$ per delivery and can ship a delivery every 15 minutes that only makes 20$/hour. And that's a very optimistic scenario.
Then breaks, holidays, tax, insurance, etc.
It seems simple math doesn't add up on paying workers decently.
If the government would contract them to deliver programs like "meals on wheels" to elderly etc. it could maybe work.

License plate readers turn any neighborhood into a gated community by casting suspicion on everyone who comes and goes, and could allow neighbors to infer private details about one another. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/09/flock-license-plate-reader-homeowners-association-safe-problems

First: This isn't just a ban from using App Stores, but from using US networks entirely—and it's untenable. Code is itself speech. Banning Americans from using TikTok and WeChat would violate their own First Amendment rights.

EFF mourns the death of a legal hero who inspired generations. https://t.co/3PwUoY48mN
@eff I try to only have productive conversations on social media, but that only seems to occur amongst like minded people. This isn't a new phenomenon. For all the talk of increasing polarization, the same was true back in the days of Usenet. Anonymity makes it easy to be a jerk, but when you talk within a community, your username becomes your source of regard.
