Contempt for the Constitution

vendredi 9 décembre 2022 à 11:17

Some Republican senators are condemning the wrecker for showing contempt for the Constitution.

It could be that they are looking for a chance to publicly split from him, having seen that his endorsements of candidates turned out to be disadvantageous for them. They may have decided they will be better off with a new, fresh fascist leader.

Thug killer robots banned

vendredi 9 décembre 2022 à 11:17

San Francisco responded to public revulsion and reversed its recent decision to authorize the thug department to use robots for killing people.

Urgent: Open App Markets Act

vendredi 9 décembre 2022 à 02:32

US citizens: phone your congresscritter and senators to support the Open App Markets Act. It would require Apple to allow users to install apps obtained from places other than Apple's store.

It looks like this would make it possible to distribute free software for the iThings which users could build from source. That means iThings would no longer be jails.

Of course, they would still be nasty in many other ways, so I would still urge everyone to reject iThings, along with Android.

Urgent: American Innovation and Choice Online Act

vendredi 9 décembre 2022 à 02:32

US citizens: phone your congresscritter and senators to support the American Innovation and Choice Online Act, which would prohibit some of the harmful practices of Amazon and some other platforms.

This bill would not do anything to make anonymous purchase possible, or insist that the sites work without sending nonfree software to the user's browser, so I would sill refuse more or less to do use those sites. But their overall injustice would be reduced.
