someone's charging $1,999 for a folding phone? suddenly $40 for $787 worth of programming books feels extremely financially responsible.

People often mix up Free Software, Open Source, and Ethical Software. If you respect Free Software, don't.
FLOSS -> #FreeSoftware and #OpenSource. #EthicalSoftware

Refuse services implementing mandatory age verification and just stop using apps implementing it. Losing users is the only thing that would make corporations act, ie lobby to politicians to implement better solutions. So it is time to leave @bluesky maybe, for @joinmastodon.org.web.brid.gy only.
We need to verify our ages in Texas now? Sigh. They approved me, but I don't understand why I need to prove I'm an adult to use social media. #booksky #ageverification #authorlife #texas

If there is one company one should avoid like the plauge it is #Broadcom. Their refusal to at least show the specification the inner workings of their broadcom firmware and D11 engines is making millions of devices landfill instead of being reusable with #Linux. Far much worse than #Nvidia.

Age verification mandates are reshaping the internet in ways that are invasive, dangerous, and unnecessary. But users aren't powerless! Our resource hub is here to help you challenge these laws, protect our digital rights, and build a safer digital world for all—no matter your age. www.eff.org/age
Age Verification and Age Gating: Resource Hub
Age verification (or age-gating) laws generally require online services to check, estimate, or verify all users’ ages—often through invasive tools like ID checks, biometric scans, or other dubious

Moderaterna stoppar återigen reformer på friskoleområdet. När ska någon journalist granska kopplingarna mellan M och friskolorna?
- Statsministerns fru sitter i friskolestyrelse.
- M-profiler äger friskolekoncerner.
- Tidigare toppnamn sitter i friskolestyrelser.
- Rikligt med M-skollobbyister.

Many American companies are feeling the heat, so they're setting up plans to assure the EU that they're still trustworthy. Europeans aren't buying it.

We've already covered how California has a new operating system age-checking law coming into force next year - but many more US states also have plans.

A new report by our member the Norwegian Consumer Council shows how digital products and services are getting worse as soon as you got used to them. Consumers need stronger protections against such practices!
