Biden approves fossil fuel development in Alaska

jeudi 16 mars 2023 à 03:17

Biden approved the "Willow" fossil fuel development in Alaska, which will have deadly consequences around the world.

He thought that protecting other areas of Alaska would somehow compensate for the damage of these additional emissions. But environmental activists are not going to forgive damaging our air and nature in one place on account of choosing not to damage it somewhere else.

Hospitals and clinic web sites share patient data

jeudi 16 mars 2023 à 03:17

Many US hospitals' and clinics' web sites give data about patients and their medical conditions to Facebook.

Tracking tokens are especially dangerous when they send medical information, but they are always an injustice. They ought to be prohibited in all web sites, or even better, blocked from functioning. I use a browser, IceCat, which blocks tracking tokens in a very general way by blocking third-party resources.

Some plug-ins for Firefox also block tracking tokens.

Written statement by champions of campaign against racism

jeudi 16 mars 2023 à 03:17

Here's a clear statement, written by prominent educators and champions of the campaign against racism, of how the pressure to censor the Advanced Placement African-American Studies course is an attack on freedom of thought and education, and part of a much broader campaign against education and to cover up important areas of Americans history.

It says nothing to suggest that today's young Americans should feel guilty about crimes that American whites in the past committed against Americans blacks (though some people do that). Rather, it says that we should teach young Americans these aspects of their country's history, so they can carefully draw moral lessons from those past events and apply the conclusions today and in the future.

That goal applies to other issues besides racism. If democracy and schools exist 50 years from now, they will teach what has been learned from investigations based on critical environment theory and critical computation theory, showing how powerful interests distorted laws and institutions to poison the Earth and make computing subjugate its users.
