"Supreme Court surveillance opinion nudges us to think nationally, act locally" - Cyrus Farivar for Ars Technica
"...Justice Samuel Alito, in his dissent in Carpenter, wrote: “If the American people now think that the [Stored Communications] Act is inadequate or needs updating, they can turn to their elected representatives to adopt more protective provisions.”
OK, then. Game on."

it took a dedicated organization TEN YEARS in courts to fight a wrongful dmca takedown notice. and you seriously imply the system is fair?
"Not OK Google: Massive outage turns smart home kit utterly dumb"
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/06/27/not_ok_google_massive_outage_turns_smart_homes_dumb/
I have no objections to "smart homes" per-se, but I have a huge problem with subscribing to silos to keep you connected to your home
This is just one example of what can go wrong with a single point of failure. Failure modes that don't take into account unrelaible networks or loss of connectivity to hubs are incredibly silly

"Copyright holders can levy the power of the state without considering the validity of it's claims and be absolved of responsibility, surely."
Mandatory litigation soundness checkups when?
"Universal argued that rightsholders have no obligation to consider fair use at all. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit rejected that argument, correctly holding that the DMCA requires a rightsholder to consider whether the uses she targets in a DMCA notice are actually lawful under the fair use doctrine. "
I have never seen a corporate lawyer express such beggardly, entitled ignorance on behalf of a corporation in court, but I cannot wait to see more.
After a decade, a landmark fair use case came to a close today: Universal's takedown of a 29-second YouTube clip of Stephanie Lenz's baby dancing to music by Prince has finally been settled.

"I'm a software developer and UX writer who spends my days either in a text editor or building and debugging PHP applications (including my own) in an IDE. I needed a machine that could offer enough power to get shit done, but is lightweight and flexible enough to do other things, like watch movies and do some light gaming."
"PHP"
"Text Editor"
"enough power"
Yeah, sounds like an Apple User 🤣

How prescient 🤘
I'm running an experiment:
A FOSS community based on Matrix that is accessible by using OpenNic DNS.
Why?
Because we really like OpenNic philosophy and Matrix chat protocol, we want to create something good around them.
Also, matrix.org is slow, but Matrix implementations performs good in self-hosted servers.
To join, create an account on riot.im and use tick.dyn as custom server. You should also be using OpenNic DNS to resolve the site.
Everyone is welcome :)
