Things are going very well and I have finished some major projects this year. It is taking very ounce self-control that I have not to immediately load up my plate with a bunch of new things.

I don't know who first said "Walk into a room like you are a punishment sent by God," but I think about it a lot before stepping into a certain kind of meeting.

Of course one of the few things the GOP and Democrats can agree on is that we should give the power to censor the internet to people who've explicitly said they want to use it to block LGBTQ+ content. This is punk rock time. This is what Joe Strummer trained you for.

Governments always want to censor and surveil the internet and the only thing that ever changes is the boogeyman they point to as justification for their power grab.

@bojanland If I thought that it wasn't worthwhile to fight authoritarianism just because abuses happen everywhere, I would have a different job.

If you think the US needs to ban TikTok because the Chinese government can run influence ops on it, just wait until you find out how easy it is to influence ops on platforms YOU DON'T EVEN OWN--even wholesome American platforms like our beloved Facebook.

Did I just tweet this on the bird site? Yes. Am I going to regret it? Also yes.

Is there already a guy going through my replies and chiming in with his opinion of my appearance, credibility, and ability to code? Of course there is.

If you see any issue and you're wondering why EFF hasn't spoken up about it:1. It is not an EFF issue at all.2. You just missed the blog post and/or press quotes.3. We have had six meetings about it and now ten people are simultaneously working on a messy blog post trying to capture the nuance of our position.

@brettglass So, what percentage of EFF's budget would have to be donated by Google in order to turn the org into a Google shill? What much is "quite substantial?" Like, 60% of the budget? 50% of the budget? 30% of the budget? EFF's annual reports and financial statements are readily available on the website right here: https://www.eff.org/about/annual-reports-and-financials

@brettglass Big if true. What percentage of EFF's budget would have to be made up of donations from Google to qualify us as "Google shills?"

@brettglass If Google has been controlling what I do and do not work on at EFF for the last 15 years, they are doing it via secret mind control. If I wanted to lobby for Google, I would do it by working for Google and making a much higher salary.

This is your regular reminder that Google spent billions of dollars a year making their search engine the default while Google search results became increasingly tainted, nonsensical, and useless.

Every woman I know who does tech support for survivors of domestic abuse does it because she is a survivor. Every man I know who does this work does it because they've seen someone abused and they were moved to do something about it.

Full points to the survivors who do this because they feel that no one should have to suffer like they suffered. And full points to the (usually) guys bringing that Tim Walz "this is just wrong so I'm going to fight it" energy to this space.

My dudes, Telegram is not an e2e messaging app like Signal or WhatsApp. Telegram is more like Twitter. It is a social media app that is mostly public content that also happens to have DMs, where you can turn on e2e messaging with questionable cryptography that most people never even bother to use.

Reading through the French prosecutor's press release re: Pavel Durov and Telegram, it's still not clear what is going on, but the last three items are a big red flag.

Shoutout to the people on this platform who are only just now learning that sometimes I even oppose things that governments do which are legal.
