"When our egos are inflated or our desires insatiable, we go to war with the other for the sad joy of maintaining our one-dimensional worlds."

All I want this school year is smaller trucks and more cleavage.

Eastern-facing houses provide their own shade. Big trees on the west side of the street not only provide shade, they're some one else's responsibility.

#Trees are gone. The renters directly to my east are going to be paying a lot more for air conditioning because their shade just went away.

The arborists tell me taking down that elm cluster is a complicated task of about 6 on a scale to 1-10. Trees are complicated objects, and the Lexus hasn't been moved.

Oh well... The aborists came out yesterday, moved a few warning cones, cut down some lower branches, and told the idiots to move their fucking cars. Should have a ringside seat today.

Element users are asking for protection against government #encryption busting

Element told The Register: "Our #Fortune100 customers have started to ask us to put clauses in our contracts which assert that we will never put #UK government's Online Safety Bill (#OSB) scanning systems in our software in order to protect their #privacy."

#UK #OSB #Cybersecurity #Encryption #Censorship #ContentModeration #Surveillance #Privacy: "The UK has now endured 10 long years of debate and deliberation on the topic of internet regulation. For proponents of new online “safety” laws, this has been as painful as it has for those deeply concerned about the potential impact on civil liberties. What began with a speech by David Cameron in 2013 on cleansing the internet of “disgusting material” online, led to an “Internet Safety Strategy green paper” in 2017, which developed into an “Online Harms White Paper” in 2019, a draft Online Safety Bill in 2021 and then a full and final Online Safety Bill in 2022. The Bill, soon to be an Act of Parliament, has only just completed its passage through both the House of Commons and House of Lords after being carried through multiple Parliamentary sessions and at least one major revision.

A debate which began focused squarely on the protection of children online morphed into something much broader, culminating in a piece of legislation that would ultimately regulate the speech of everyone online. The final product is a regulatory framework, overseen by broadcast regulator Ofcom, which will increase liability on online platforms, shifting culpability to these platforms for the online expression of individuals, rather than the users themselves (...)

This blog signposts the key areas of the Bill that threaten our rights and liberties. Despite the best efforts of campaigners across a multitude of groups, who were able to scale back the ill-informed concept of “harmful” speech to adults, the civil liberties red flags are many and must be monitored closely when the regulatory framework formally kicks in the coming months."

#Cybersecurity #Encryption #Privacy #CSAM #UK #OSB: "Think differently. Think long term. Think about protecting the privacy and security of all members of society—children and adults alike. By failing to consider the big picture, the U.K. Online Safety Act has taken a dangerous, short-term approach to a complex societal problem. The EU and U.S. have the chance to avoid the U.K.’s folly; they should do so. The EU proposal and the U.S. bills are not sensible ways to approach the public policy concerns of online abetting of CSAE. Nor are these reasonable approaches in view of the cyber threats our society faces. The bills should be abandoned, and we should pursue other ways of protecting both children and adults."
