It seems that the and have no interest in promoting independent, -free and low-surveillance European platforms and thus a free and democratic discourse…

@weddige @larkim @EDPS @EU_Commission Do you even trust them at this point? I won't be bit surprised if they shut it down as well.

What a disgraceful move considering it been positive throughout.

By banning (or forcing sale of) TikTok (which I loathe), Congress -- Democrats as well as Republicans -- and a Democratic president just performed extreme censorship of the Internet.

They claimed it was for your privacy, but that is a flagrant and stupid lie.

They believe you have no privacy rights, and deserve none, and have made that clear again and again.

We need public spaces controlled by the public, not rapacious companies and control-freak lawmakers.

@mdylanbell @dangillmor That's the cold hard truth weather you agree with Dan or not.

If they just passed a strong privacy law then this wouldn't have happened but naaaaaahhh, we can't have that!

The #Zilog #Z80 product line, specifically the #Z84C00 is being End of Life (EOL) after 48 years of production. You can still order chips until June 14th. https://www.mouser.com/PCN/Littelfuse_PCN_Z84C00.pdf

It's been a great nearly 50 year ride for the series as it was famously used as the main processor for the Pac-Man arcade among others.

I am so sick of paywalls. We have to find a more sustainable form of journalism. All general news articles should be free after 24 hours. Feature articles can stay behind the paywall. Those who want or need superfresh news can (and will) pay.

"How a network of repair ships helps maintain the estimated 800,000 miles of undersea internet cables. Of the 77 cable ships, only 22 are designated for repair" https://www.theverge.com/c/24070570/internet-cables-undersea-deep-repair-ships

This is a very good piece on how the invisible seafaring industry that is keeping the internet afloat, bit at the same time, cable ships are breaking down and need to be replaced instead of repairing. Not a good sign.

We must find a way to make all journalism on everything worth knowing and thinking about well, free to the world and sustainable to produce, because democracy matters.

The Most Important Article on why you only need a Brother laser printer has been updated to keep Google happy. And in a wonderful twist of irony, Niley Patel switched from ChatGPT to Google Gemini to add a few thousand characters of AI gibberish to make the Google algorithm consider his timeless answer relevant enough.

So goeth forth and hype the link to make the algorithm and Brother happy. And give your Brother Laser a nice pat on its dusty housing :) https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/2/24117976/best-printer-2024-home-use-office-use-labels-school-homework

This has been my point for about a year. Anyone who thinks this AI disruption isn’t going to be transformative is just asleep at the wheel. No, transformative doesn’t mean better. But that’s entirely beside the point. We’re not the deciders.
