SNAP recipients get an average of $6.31 a day for food. 

Members of Congress get $79 a day.

You know what else they get? Healthcare for life.

Meanwhile their constituents are facing huge insurance increases and being told they must “prove they matter” to receive healthcare. 

Maybe it’s time congress proved they matter! 

Fund SNAP and protect Medicaid! 

A December update of Microsoft Teams will now track and report your location using the local Wi-Fi network. This is a less intrusive way of tracking time spent in the office than asking people to badge in and out.

It’s off by default but IT admins can make its usage required.

Half the ICE budget is for the puppy pads they need when they get chased back into their SUVs by righteous citizens.

Science needs to be ready for the censorship and chilling of scholarly research. That means a global rejection of large intermediaries getting between researchers and the public. #OAWeek https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/10/science-must-decentralize

Today i took part of #linuxday2025 in Palermo,
I talked about the risks for Android ROMs related to AOSP and how #LinuxMobile and @postmarketOS might be a way forward, together with our communities.

The UN Cybercrime Treaty is fundamentally flawed and threatens human rights worldwide. UN Member States must not legitimize these dangers by signing when the Convention opens for signatures this weekend. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/10/joint-statement-un-cybercrime-convention-eff-and-global-partners-urge-governments

We apologize for the long performance degradation today.
Finally, we identified all of the 'tricks' that AI crawlers found today. They no longer bypass the anubis proof of work challenges.

A novelty for us was that AI crawlers seem to not only crawl URLs that are actually presented to them by our frontend, but they converted the URLs into a format that bypassed our filter rules.

By the way, you can track the changes we have been doing via

Publishers need to learn that when they don't work with researchers to do the right thing, scholars find their own solutions—legal or otherwise. #OAWeek https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/10/civil-disobedience-copyright-keeps-science-going

Because it worked so well last time.

A.I. actually stands for "Anti-Intelligence".

Great news everybody, you can't block that new OpenAI Atlas browser because it uses an identical user agent to Chrome.

Absolutely incredible stuff coming out of Bozo The Clown School of Economics.

1. convince everyone you're going to fix the economy by slapping tariffs on everything.

2. Tell Americans that other countries will pay the tariffs, even though tariffs are paid by importers (you).

3. Americans gets mad when beef prices go up because as it turns out, importers do in fact pay the tariffs.

4. That's ok, the tariffs were really about rewarding companies who produce goods locally, so at least the American farmers are happy.

5. Wait, never mind. Other countries have started importing beef from elsewhere because US beef is too expensive now.

7. Don't worry though, it's all part of the plan. We will fix this by simply giving $20 billion dollars of taxpayer money to Argentina.

8. Ok, that didn't seem to have worked. Maybe if we announce we're going to give them $40 billion dollars instead?

9. Hmmm, bailing out Argentina doesn't seem to have fixed the US economy.

10. Lower Argentina's beef import tax rate to less than it was before you got into office, costing US farmers even more money.

11. Somehow all of this is actually good and part of a completely sane economic policy, I'm just too dumb to understand the grand plan.

MAGA - Make Argentina Great Again?

Sergei Brin and Larry Page couldn't have imagined when they were starting Google that they would be become enablers of fascism, wanton enemies of human rights. But if history is told by honest people, that is how they will be remembered.

(Not so sure about Larry Ellison...)

it's weird that as fuck ugly as the stock Cybertuck is it always looks ten times worse in any kind of wrap, like it must wear its shame or endure the god's scorn

Maybe the demolition will cause Taft's spirit to rise from the ruins of the Taftub and haunt President Fall Risk in the bathroom.
