@falsemirror @Vox Y'all should really read some Langdon Winner if you really think things can be "just tools". Fuck off with that fascist apologia, #EFF.

That's cute, #EFF. Do you plan on acknowledging the destructive nature of the "transformative" genAI crap you were advertising just a few days ago? The ad is still up
Not a peep from you since this last post, #EFF. I know it's usual for the people who run #tech social-media accounts to be craven and cowardly about "negativity" from the public but I would like you to behave in a slightly more adult fashion if possible.
Would you please acknowledge that the #GenAI fad is a destructive force and not a "transformative" one, @eff ?
speaking as a card-carrying paid up #EFF member… fuck off with this shitty take 😡🤬
if you’re gung ho on copyright, how about something more defensible like “we believe that (US) copyright laws are a net positive but in the light of wholesale unpaid slurping of human creativity and labour for billionaire profits, clearly they’re broken and need to be fixed – here’s how we plan to fight this”
JFC, do better 🤮
so how the f does that square with privacy and free speech????
Stealing is a violation of privacy, stealing our words is a violation of free speech. No one is being compensated. Rare books are being destroyed. In some cases original authors are being denied the rights to their own work because an AI stole it from them.
You can not say this is not stealing.
Absolutely you have violated your own purpose in existing.

Maybe these stupid #AI #Clankers can stop this stupid #DDoS attack on my server then?
If you have taken this hypocritical take on copyright, then you need to get your head out of you're ass, because if I did the same thing these companies are doing, I'd be sued into hell for it.
Translation: Someone at the #EFF is definitely getting fired over this stupid post.
This Friday at DEF CON I host the @eff Poker Tournament, and novices are especially welcome.
We play Fri Aug 7, noon to 3, at the Horseshoe Poker Room in Vegas, with my dad running a beginner clinic at 11. This is not the ESPN boys' club version of poker. The room is safe, surveilled, and respectful, and the dealers are briefed to teach, not judge.
Your buy-in donation is also a full year of EFF membership. Send eff.org/poker to one curious friend.

Looking forward to the program!. After registering I was surprised to learn that #EFF uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing to send out confirmations. Turns out they use it for all EFF mailings.
I only noticed it this time because of the unreadable hash of HTML that showed up in my mailer, in the text/plain part. I'm sure I'm not the only EFF member who uses plaintext email. EFF's normal mailings send proper plaintext.
The EFF has a cool post about Bridgy Fed!

A Bridge to Somewhere: How to Link Your Mastodon, Bluesky, or Other Federated Accounts
One of the central promises of open social media services is interoperability—the idea that wherever you personally decide to post doesn’t require others to be there just to follow what you have to say.Electronic Frontier Foundation

Just a reminder that what a vendor sees as a "security update" for your 3D printer could easily be "vendor lock-in" or "print censorship" to you.
It's a bit more hassle, but sneakernetting your prints on a uSD card is the best security for your printer. Wifi gives your vendor an opportunity to auto-update your printer in a bad way.
#CA and #NY are about to make it much worse. Thanks #EFF for fighting the good fight!

The Dangers of California’s Legislation to Censor 3D Printing
California’s bill, AB 2047, will not only mandate censorware on all 3D printers; it will also criminalize the use of open-source alternatives.Electronic Frontier Foundation
