So the #W3C has approved #DRM as part of a web spec 😢

It's possible for DRM to be used for good. Imagine if all a person's personal data was protected by DRM? Where a company needed to contact your server to decrypt the person data, where you could revoke their access keys (and hence "delete" your data), where you, were able to control what sort of software could access your personal data.

Course, DRM is for big corps to control copyright, the hell with us humans & our #privacy, and many corps make money from our personal data.

The Head of HR in the #Irish #police force was afraid he was being bugged for investigating internal fraud.

#ACABRO #G20

things accomplished by "gender-critical feminists" in the 70s and 80s included lobbying for stricter gatekeeping standards, necessitating that every trans person either conform perfectly to gendered caricatures or not transition. woohoo, way to abolish gender there.

An org in Malaysia my roommate worked with is fundraising for housing for elderly trans folk https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/seed-t-hub-home-for-elderly-trans-people-transgender#/

last week this unicorn in a box appeared on a street corner along my commute with no explanation and now it's just, there, I guess

the box gets more opaque the closer you get, which I presume is some kind of artistic statement. there's no sign or explanation or anything

though tbf this is no weirder than the last installation on this corner, which included, among other things, a metal sculpture of a man-sized ball of clutching human arms, all joined at the 'shoulder' https://witches.town/media/Ug1t-_Iz_IozHQHl8Pk https://witches.town/media/uGPkngcU-fAJCz4RKmk
