Two completely unrelated Windows PCs asked me whether I want to remove some unused printers today. I think July 28th must be official Microsoft Printer Shaming Day.

We're calling on the government to change its approach to online safety.
This means pulling back from creating new harms through the expansion of insecure ID checkpoints, VPN restrictions and blocks on access to information and support.

Yeah, well *I'm* fed up with politicians who took until 2026 to realize an energy system which relies on constant extraction of resources sets you up for this very thing to happen one day.
Alternatives are here! We've been talking about them for decades now!
It's not that complicated!

Looks like people are panicking over our PM banning the word marmalade to undermine Brexit. We might even get non-orange-based marmalades soon, which we already have. And we'll have to put Orange next to Marmalade on domestic products, which we already do.
I miss this kind of stupid these days.

Holy shit. This is huge and will lead to their deaths.
BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.

The Online Safety Act could’ve required proper regulation of age verification providers and given us a choice.
We should be able to pick a provider with high privacy standards that can work for any and every platform.
Instead, we either accept what we’re given or lose access to chunks of the Net.
