uspol, tech
The new anti-surveillance bill proposed in Congress is amazing in concept---it's a huge step in the right direction.
But I don't like the fact that it's being portrayed on the news as "the democrats are doing this". Surveillance should not be a partisan issue.

We have teamed up with @WorkerInfoX
@ADCUnion to challenge the surveillance practices deployed by some of the biggest companies in the gig economy sector e.g. Uber, JustEat, Bolt, Deliveroo & others.

@reedyn that's why we're working on a directory that showcases honest goods/services without any strings attached (completely void of any trades). If we could amplify those and support these trade-free structures, then we could really change something. www.directory.trade-free.org/

Light pollution from Starlink satellites is already vexing astronomers, and with more on the way, the problem is likely to get a lot worse.

Here's @jamesfarrar talking about how employers will increasingly use their workers as ‘contingent labour’ in the future, enabled by sophisticated tech.

As we wrote back in July on these measures: "the UK government should focus on removing the barriers that enable people to vote, not creating them." 6/6 https://t.co/75j8yi1yWT

If the Bill goes through the House of Lords unamended, this means that from 2023 onwards, people voting in local and national elections will need to show photo ID: passport, driving licence, or another from a short list. 2/6

2.1 million earmarked for Asheville's reparations to their Black community. They are spending it on "Speakers" and Administration as far as I can see. This is how it works when you give money to Democrats...they pay each other to speak about perceived problem...and do NOTHING about said problem.

If you have a blog powered by WordPress, you can connect it to the Fediverse so that people on Mastodon etc can follow your blog, comment on posts and share them.
You will need to install a free open source plugin called ActivityPub For WordPress:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub
Note that WordPress the platform is different from wordpress.com the hosting site. Wordpress.com does not allow installation of this kind of plugin (unless you pay an expensive fee).
But you don't need to use wordpress.com to use WordPress! Because WordPress is free open source software, much every hosting provider in the world offers a WordPress site for a few dollars a month, and this kind of indpendently hosted WordPress is what the plugin will work on.
